Bernie never defines what “fair” actually means because it isn’t an objective standard. It’s a subjective slogan designed to convince you the current numbers are unjust, stirring up fear, greed, and envy under a thin veil of moral righteousness.

A vote to steal is morally no different from a vote to kill the innocent. It’s wrong and should never even be allowed to be put for a vote.
If the Constitution fails to protect you from looters, even the professional ones in government, then what kind of society are we living in, one with no real safeguards for life, liberty, or property?
But on the question of fairness, the essential question always comes back to this: What is your fair share of what someone else has worked for?
