Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "#SuperTuesday Bernie Sanders: 'Our movement is best positioned to defeat Trump'" video.

Sanders is suffering from the label of socialist, which is really an abbreviation for social democrats. Whenever Americans hear the word Social it is interpreted as Communist. They would do well to look up the definitions of both and understand that Sanders is much closer to the ideals of their founding fathers than the robber Barons of the republican party or the more deceitful robber barons of the democratic party right. Sanders looks increasingly like the 21st century version of FDR, and the US would be hard pressed to find a better president. In some respects he is unique as he appears to be an honest politician, a term that is usually considered to be an oxymoron.

You would like the slave defending the slave trade. Do you not understand that the wealth gap between the super rich and the rest is growing. Are you happy that a super rich elite set their own remuneration and constantly increase it, no matter the performance of the economy. The CEOs of FT100 companies "earn" more in the first few days if the year than their average employees earn in the whole year. Greed is not good!!!

@Hedgehobbit he is not a communist, he is just guilty of putting the fear of God into the self serving billionaires. What is difficult to understand is why average Americans are so keen to have their pockets picked by drug and insurance companies. It like defending the rights of the mafia to rob you. How dare anyone suggest that corporate thieves should be denied the right to fleece the general public. It's the American way that billionaires get richer, while everyone else gets poorer.

@Hedgehobbit you do know the drug companies are already receiving massive subsidies from the US tax payers.

@Hedgehobbit the us government pays huge subsidies to the drug companies to develope new drugs, it then grants the drug companies the sole rights to manufacture, a private monopoly on public owned IP, allowing them to set large profit margins on drugs that they did not develope. This gives them freedom to spend their money on shareholders and executive salaries and bonuses. US prescription drugs are the most expensive in the world. This is not capitalism, it is legalised corruption, moving tax payer money into private pockets. It is not the only example of this practice.
