We need to name this in honor of Michael Dell and Davos. I know he was talking about the AOC top marginal tax rate but his level of arrogance is worthy notice. Or maybe we could name it after the trump family after all trump loves having his name on things he would probably sign it just because it had his name in the title. Lol

Bernie / Tulsi is the ticket we need in 2020.

@user-dn3fn3bg4l fortunately for you in a democracy we all get to vote for one of many different tickets. Isn't democracy great?

@IWLDELJ unfortunately for you I am not alone so there is a definite group of us which believe we is the correct term there.

@flash_flood_area it just hit me today Nina could be VP if Tulsi is security of defense. She could probably end the wars from there just as well.

@65minimom I think your the one who forgot their meds this morning. Google the Davos video and you will realize the question was about the top marginal tax not the inheritance tax. My point was simply that Bernie did a great job with the Stop Bazos act and naming it after a billionaire who was guilty of the issue he wants to address is why it put a face to the name. Michael Dell is an example of the wealthy out of touch billionaires who need to have their vast wealth addressed. But I was simply saying I know income tax was the question and inheritance tax is a different way to address the same baseline problem. So get past your AOC issues and realize the comment she made forced the question to be asked at Davos nothing more ment by her mention here.

@IWLDELJ well since you don't like our form of government fell free to move to a different country which better matches your views we won't miss you.

@IWLDELJ sorry but there is a small document on my side in this case. It is called the constitution of the United States. Clearly you need to read it as you don't support the government it describes. That does by definition make you anti American.

@IWLDELJ besides I really don't understand your being offended that I reminded you that you are free to leave. It only means we are not holding you against your will in this country. Seems perfectly consistent with the concept of democracy to me.

@flash_flood_area I like Nina as well. I just really like how Tulsi as a member or the military who served in Iraq said we need to end the regime change wars. After nearly 2 decades of fighting wars for oil in the middle east and the war mongering to start a new war in Venezuela I am very grateful we have one candidate running who has said straight up that we need to end these wars.

@flash_flood_area I agree with you take on Nina I would love to see her on the next administration somewhere in the cabinet where she can focus on helping address issues like healthcare and income inequality for all Americans. I think the difference in our perspectives is I view the president and VP as a much broader roll where they need to be more general oversight of everything. In that respect I feel Tulsi focusing on ending the wars and the green new deal. Will allow her to better stand up to the military industrial complex and the oil industry both of which will band together to try and keep us in the oil wars and using ff which is killing our planet. Make no mistake these wars are the USA empire forcing other nations to give is access to their oil on our terms. But my point is you get the local focus on our citizens for healthcare and other issues with both Bernie and Nina. I feel Tulsi beings something both of them are missing with respect to standing up to the military because they have to respect her service in defense of this country in the Iraq war. She can sit in the room and when they try to say you as a civilian just don't understand the military she can call their BS and say wrong I was boots on the ground for two tours. I think that is critical for cutting back our over used and over built up military. We spend more on the military then we spend educating our children. Think about that for a moment we value our empires future more then our childrens education. By all means we need Nina in the administration but I think we need Tulsi as president or VP slightly more if we are to succeed in standing up to the military industrial complex and the oil industry to rebuild our economy around local renewable energy.

@flash_flood_area well living in NH I have no opinion on the minority voters because there simply are not many around here. I could probably count the non whites in town and have fingers left to spare. There are some but not many. I appreciate what your saying there. The thing to me is VP is sort of a powerless job. Think back over all the people you know who where VP and then try to think up one thing they did in that job. Our current wallflower is really normal for that roll. In that respect I think a cabinet position would actually have more power for Nina Turner. I honestly don't know all the cabinet positions and which would be best. But I could for example see Nina doing more good as secretary of state then as VP. In that roll she would have more freedom to get out in front of the public and speak openly on issues. But honestly I would be open to her in any position.
