When I was young, decades ago, we referred to immature and excessively opinionated young men as ‘little pukes.’ Marco Rubio fits that definition perfectly today. This is his latest comment, based on his inexperience and support for those who gave him political success, the super-wealthy in America.

His latest attack was against the most patriotic candidate in the 2016 election year; a man who would return our nation to the values of our founding fathers. But Rubio doesn’t see it that way.

“If you want to live in a socialist country, why not move to a socialist country?” He asked. “We want to be America.” Really?

Rubio supports the wealthiest of our nation’s residents, not the majority. He would make our nation a plutocracy, and destroy what is left of our democracy. He is not an American; he favors a fascist nation where the working class is subservient to the wealthy.

What Rubio doesn’t understand is the reason Trump and Sanders are the most popular candidates in America is because they are not him. They don’t represent the failed politicians who fail to represent the majority of the American people. This same group is responsible for our broken government. Trump and Sanders owe nothing to the super-rich or Wall Street.

Democratic socialism is the primary principle of the philosophy which created our nation. Rubio represents the exclusivity of the privileged residents of our nation who have paid for his elections and success.

Bernie Sanders explained what he means when he talks about democratic socialism. Our nation is not a republican democracy today, it is an oligarchy, and our nation must be returned to the people.

“The next time you hear me attacked as a socialist — like tomorrow — remember this: I don’t believe government should take over the grocery store down the street, or own the means of production,” Sanders said at the time. “But I do believe that the middle class and the working families of this country who produce the wealth of this county deserve a decent standard of living, and that their incomes should go up, not down.”

This is the America created by our founding fathers; it is not a new idea.

Rubio is the establishment. He represents those who are destroying the middle class. His lack of accomplishment is an embarrassment to the state of Florida which mistakenly elected him.
