Bernie's supporters don't understand where wealth comes from. They think that for every dollar someone earns, someone else earns a dollar less. They think the economy is a zero-sum enterprise. They don't understand that wealth is not taken, it's created. Bernie likes to say if someone has a billion dollars, it's immoral. Most billionaires got where they are by creating products that people want and employing thousands of people to make those products. They didn't cheat anybody.

Bernie likes to say billionaires shouldn't exist, but in my opinion, we need more billionaires, not fewer. The existence of billionaires is indicative of economic growth and job creation.

Moderates like me are often accused of being non-ideological, but actually moderates like me have a very strong ideology. I am very strongly in favor of a somewhat regulated capitalism and would never ever vote for a socialist or someone who demonizes wall street and successful people.
