Wow the first and most important thing for these politicians is that they are capitalists.

"We are capitalists, not socialist."

You heard it here first people. If you are a socialist then you are under no obligation to help the Dems when they try to put yet another empty-suit into office.

[ps]
I can't help but point out that they are already failing to meet their own standards

We are capitalist, not socialist

...not disproportionately favor those already at the top.

Let's think about that one for a second.

And I'm glad they specify that only full-time work should earn you the most basic standard of living and ignore the capitalist ideal of doing everything you can to pay workers as little as possible.
