Rebutting Trial Lawyer John Morgan on Sanders vs. Clinton

UPDATE: AFTER 10 PM, 10/4: NO RESPONSE YET FROM JOHN BRYAN MORGAN, FLORIDA TRIAL LAWYER, WHO ATTACKED OUR PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE, SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS 10/4/2015 in Washington Post.  
Why?





Tort law magnate John Bryan Morgan backs HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON for President. Listen to what he said to The Washington Post this morning:

There were also signs that some of her supporters are agitating for a direct engagement with Sanders, which Clinton has said she will not do.

Florida donor John Morgan suggested that Clinton should contrast her more middle-of-the-road policy prescriptions with his far-left ones.

“Sanders’s numbers are good, but everyone has been afraid to point out why Sanders can't win,” Morgan wrote in an email. “We all like what he is saying because it feels so good," he added. “Fifteen bucks an hour? Great!” he said, referring to Sanders’s recommended minimum wage. “Redistribute the wealth? How?”


By raising marginal tax rates, John B. Morgan.

It won't hurt you one little bit.

As Senator Robert Francis Kennedy told rich white Indianapolis medical students in 1968, "From you."

Senator Kennedy was peppered with questions about how he was going to pay for social programs, e.g. health care for all.
As Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. reports, RFK said:

"From you… Let me say something about the tone of these questions. I look around this room and I don't see many black faces who will become doctors … I don't see many people coming here from slums, or off the Indian reservations. You can talk about where the money will come from….. Part of civilized society is to let people go to medical school who come from ghettos. You don't see many people come out of ghettos or off the Indian reservation go to medical schools. You are the privileged ones here … You sit here as a white medical student, while black people carry the burden of the fighting in Vietnam."

That's the same answer I gave former Planning and Zoning Board member John Valdes, (unsuccessful candidate for City Commission in 2014) when circa 2008 he publicly asked me at a PZB meeting where we would get the money to pay for the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore. www.staugustgreen.com "From you," I responded, quoting Senator Kennedy.


My answer to John Morgan: We must raise marginal tax rates and stop Wall Street and Big Business from picking our pockets.

This morning's Washington Post article continues:

Clinton should not be afraid to note that Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, Morgan said.

“Socialism works when you have us guarding you,” Morgan said, referring to the United States military. “You can't give away the farm on social programs and be the No. 1 super power in the world.”


Our greatest 20th century President was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a proud "Democratic socialist" who saved capitalism from itself, and who in 1936 said of greedy Wall Streeters, "I welcome their hatred." I'm from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, and I'm voting for Senator Bernie Sanders.

What do y'all reckon?




We need more presidents like JFK and RFK and even LBJ.  No more mugwumps and Stephens, Inc. investment banker stand ins and BS artists like WJC and HRC.  
Enough, by God.  
Enough.




Notice that unlike HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON and her angry supporters, including JOHN BRYAN MORGAN, BERNIE SANDERS does not speak ill of his primary opponents: he talks about policy, privilege and corruption in America.  
If Mrs. CLINTON's top Florida fundraiser, JOHN MORGAN, won't respect that, we understand why.   
Perhaps MORGAN would debate me.
