Wall Street CEOs Getting Increased Perks, Benefits Despite Public Outrage

First of all, don't you dare put me or any liberal working to get Democratic politicians to live up to their promises in the same breath as Rand Paul. We on the left are actually the majority of the Democratic Party -- We're 70% of it, and to try to paint us as "extreme" (as the DLC does) is an off-the-wall attempt to distract people like you.



We on the left are mainstream America. These charges you throw around, that we on the left are purists who don't know how to compromise, are galling in light of the reality that we've been the ones compromising for 40 years. We've let both the Republicans demonize the word 'liberal' while our own Democratic elected representatives have run from the word, refusing to defend liberals' achievements & accomplishments. One actually defended the failure to defend liberalism as "modesty" ("Nobody takes Republicans' bashing seriously, everyone knows of liberals' achievements", "It would be like bragging" -- Tom Harkin, if you must know). We on the left have stood still while our own Democratic politicians helped Republicans knee-cap the very policies and legislation that created the largest middle class in history, that helped Americans achieve their American Dream.
