Maybe Sanders should give Jane a few days off from campaigning to go get the tax returns?

[Mr. Morden]

I don't get Clinton's position on the minimum wage.  She supports raising it to $12, but will go to $15 if there's a Democratic Congress?  Why not just say that you want to raise it to $15, but that you're willing to compromise?

[Mr. Morden]

So, what is Clinton's actual position on the minimum wage that she's trying to say? She supports a $12 min wage because a $15 min wage is too much, but she's also for the $15 minimum wage?

She supports a $12 min wage nationwide, but encourages any city or area (especially those with higher costs of living) to increase further to $15 or beyond.

Except she was also asked if a Democratic Congress passed a national $15 minimum wage, would she sign it, and she said yes.

[Mr. Morden]

It astounds me that people listen to Sanders and actually believe he will achieve anything. This ideological purity stuff is just such bullish-t.

It astounds me that anyone can believe anything that Clinton says.

In 2040 when a child will view this...

You expect children to read the Atlas forum in 2040?  Sounds like a post-apocalyptic nightmare.
