Reply to comment by wordyplayer in Bernie Sanders proposes taxes on robots that take jobs by Scarlet_pot2

And what the fuck do you want from them, if this is how you describe... giving money to people?

I'm responding to beambot's comment that this idea "is senseless". But politicians aren't prioritizing 'sense', they prioritize power and money. Of course they need to get Money In, or they can't run the government. But not all methods of "money in" are sensible. So, they toss stuff out and do some opinion polls and eventually make some choices. But the noise of the people does matter.

You're responding to measured criticism with kneejerk blanket statements.

Stop.
