The establishment doesn’t fear Trump. It doesn’t fear Bernie, and it doesn’t fear Tulsi. It fears you. It fears the people. A single politician they can deal with. The public rising up and using the power of their numbers to force change is what keeps your rulers up at night.

They do actually fear Bernie, but not for the obvious reasons. I probably should say they fear what Bernie knows about the lies both establishment parties use to keep us subservient to our corporate masters. And his economics team, headed up by Dr. Stephanie Kelton, is guiding him with the truth about federal finance with a sovereign fiat currency, which is that any suffering in this economy that can be mitigated with spending dollars is entirely a political choice, not economics.

Dr. Kelton is one of the leading macroeconomists in a growing movement to revise how the people view their government as a force to shape an equitable economy and face the challenges of climate change. She is a proponent of Modern Monetary Theory and has a twenty-plus year record of advancing the theory (gravity is also still a “theory” in scientific terms) around the world. She is perhaps the most sought out speaker in economic circles in Wall St and the world of government finance but has dedicated herself to Bernie’s campaign.

Bernie’s campaign is largely centered on class division and taxing the wealthy, but he understands that such is not a prerequisite to funding the public purpose and that making the wealthy irrelevant to that is the best way to deal with them. Once the people understand that the wealthy are not the real job creators they will be more likely to advocate punitive taxation as we saw in the 50’s and 60’s to prevent them from subverting our democratic process and using our military as their private employees/hitmen.
