I know nothing about this Democratic campaign, where Bernie is appearing to support one Jamal Bowden for something, and there is a very proper rally, copying the Trump method, the Trump business model. Very smart.
But there are signs that supporters are holding that say.............For The Many, Not The Money.
What does that mean?? I could not even invent or come up with the meaing of that.

@AverageJoe1 saidThat is an easy one: For the many people (who are not rich) not for the (few) who have big money, but can't get enough.
.For The Many, Not The Money.

Any problems understanding that?

@Ponderable saidWhat would it mean if it were a complete sentence? It is only a phrase, or a clause. It starts with the word 'For'.....should there not be a preface to the word For, so that it will be a sentence that opens and closes.

What does For mean? Who or what is for?

Must mean the Dims are going to cut taxes, they're suddenly not interested in your money anymore?
I'm skeptical.
@Wajoma saidPonderable may have answered it, he says that we should read into it that 'The People!" are 'for' the many, and not for the money.
"For The Many, Not The Money."

I m not being cute here, I still don't know what it means. Does it have marxist underpinnings, the old everyone-is-equal mantra? What does Not For the Money mean? The person with the sign certainly has some money, so he has to be for the money. Does it mean they are not for people having more money than they need?
Liberals do not have their feet on the ground enough to say exactly what they mean, like Ponderable here. They dance around fancy phrases, but they do not say anything.

Honestly, how hard is it to figure it out?

@kmax87 saidSo, the People are for the average people. You imply that they are thus not for the billionaire. Tim Cook is responsible for your cell phone, and the keys you are typing on...he is a billionaire. I think that libs should step up and say exactly what they are thinking, that they think they should not have so much money, and yet demand that they produce all the stuff that we enjoy.
For the average joe, not the Wall Street billionaire.

How can you POSSIBLY have it both ways. I myself am For the successful billionaires. Can you say that you are, too?
@AverageJoe1 saidTim Cook will never be "responsible" for my smartphone. I have yet to own anything Apple but irregardless Tim Cook has nothing and will never have anything to do with the working of an Apple product. So boohoo to you.

Anyhoo I was just trying to cut through your practiced "dumb as three planks routine" of you being unable to interpret a simple slogan. Seems I have a long way to go.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidrepublicans on the other hand only distribute money to those wealthier than they are and any notion of them creating money is to create a loan to some poor schmuck who has an equivalent debt plus interest.
democrats always have plans on how to disperse the money, never any plans on how to create the money.

@kmax87 saidI use the name Tim Cook metaphorically. The Forum has difficulty with metaphors, which are non-literal references to make a point. The point is Billionaires, he is but one.

So, please put in Jeff Bezos, who will deliver a tube of toothpaste to your door, ....anything you can dream up. I am all For Jeff Bezos., metaphorically speaking, ....all For people who make our lives so rich with convenience and joy.
So back to the issue....are you For billionaires, or not for billionaires? The sign at the rally seems to be against billionaires. But no explanation is ever given, I simply seek an explanation. How can I get some reason/reasoning?

Dumb as a plank? No, I simply do not understand why liberals want to punish success, which success flows to the common man everyday in many forms. That is a fair question.
What is begin 'practiced' is your saying 'Well, I dont HAVE an apple product!" which is silly, as I am obviously using generic cell phones as an example of a great product. Whew.
