It is, isn't it? He said it plain as day.but doesn't donate anything to charity?
In fact when I did thishttp://www.bing.com/search?q=does%20bernie%20sanders%20donate%20money%20to%20the%20unfortunate%3F&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=does%20bernie%20sanders%20donate%20money%20to%20the%20unfortunate%3F&sc=0-27&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=ECD6614E1AAC48F79A042A35D467D7A9

All I got was a way to donate to HIM and unrelated things.
How can someone preach about giving away all this stuff, when he HIMSELF doesn't do it? If he cant do it willingly, what gives him the right to want to FORCE everyone else?
how many threads do we need on this subject, hon?
i'm sorry you think doing the right thing is about "free stuff".
me? I don't want to have to live behind barbed wire like anyone with money has to do in the banana republics.
you can't have the kind of disparity in wealth that we're having here. and it's a matter of good public policy to say everyone should have a leg up if they need it.
I honestly don't have a problem with free education, but I still think he is a hypocrite. Most people that support that stuff is, it seems like.
Barbed wire? Banana Republics? That's a little far fetched isn't it?
no. it really isn't about "free stuff". it's about doing the right thing at a core societal level. the whole "free stuff" thing is what you've been sold by people who have an interest in maintaining the disparity. me? I want everyone to be educated if they want to be. I want everyone to have health care. no one in the wealthiest country in the world should have to choose between eating and getting their medication. and no parent should have to deny an education to their child because they can't afford it.
in the old days, you could work your way through school. school is so expensive now that even if the low-wage jobs aren't taken by old people (courtesy of the economic crash of '08), it won't cover the cost of tuition.
If you live at home, and you work a full time job, and go to school.... how can you not pay your way through college?
What heck are you blowing your money on? Columbus State Community College, in-state tuition rates.... $3,400 a year. Now what job are you working that you can't earn $3,400 a year? If you work 10 hours a day, minimum wage, you would earn $3,400 a year.
Now of course, that's not enough because of TAXES, which are so high because scummy left-wingers are taxing us to death to pay for their 'free' programs.
EVEN SO.... if you worked a massive 12 hours a week, you should still make more than enough to pay for school.
"well I don't want to live at home"... . that's fine. Do whatever you want. But why should I pay for it, because you don't want to live wisely?
"Well I want to join all the expensive student activities". Fine. Why should I pay for it?
"well I want to go to an expensive out of state college that ranks higher on the party list".... fine. Why should I pay for it?
This left-wing bull crap, about "no one should have to choose to get an education for their kids or not" is just garbage.
There are millions of ways to get free, or super low cost education. Millions. We have grants and scholarships out the wazoo, and all you have to do is apply for them, and have the grades.
If you don't have the grades, why would we pay to have someone go to college, when they are not likely to pass anyway?
The highest drop out rate is those people who go to college on pell grants. What's the point? Why are we even funding that?
Even you left-wing idiots, should be asking the question.... you tax us, and spend $30 Billion dollars a year, and the majority goes to students who drop out. And you want to pay for the entire thing free? How is that going to benefit anyone? It doesn't even benefit the students on the pell grants. Congrats, you failed.
Are they better off? No. Are we better off? No. Is society better off? No. So we're all worse off, all of us, even the people you claim to be supporting. Those people could have been moving on with their lives, instead of wasting their time, going to a college they had no chance of passing.
Oh, but no no, we need to make it free. That will solve everything. Except that with more and more money sucked out of the economy, there will be fewer jobs. But you people never care about that anyway.
Then we can end up like the UK, and when the money runs out.....
Brilliant move. That worked so well... let's do the same thing here.
