a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says at the center of of all of the most important issues right now that we're getting peter say from spain to money funds would be to spain where we have people for life other countries but i just been one of the he's it really is very little of each other do it. for i mean thirty five for that job i well they found by one point that the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that wealthy it's only fair do you think it's going to happen through movements like this you know who knows that leads were out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism etc so i mean people riot and burn their old cities down as soon as that happened within a year there were all kinds of government programs to help people out because they got people really afraid that was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having
