Bernie Sanders Is Right

[Ernie S.]

So the poverty level is just to damn high...... Lowering to say red china or India levels would sure help..........???

The poverty "level" is an arbitrary number. If you have an iphone, a 60" flat screen and air conditioning, you are not "in poverty", you're a potential Democrat voter.

**** that guy. He bitches about the top 1% controlling most of the money. They also pay most of the taxes. If they're supporting everybody else, they SHOULD have more control than the ones who don't contribute shit.

Because of loopholes, the effective tax rate of corporations is 12%. Do you really think people poor people who are employed and are responsible for the biggest share of productivity aren't contributing?

Corporate taxes are a joke.
Double the tax rate on Walmart and it won't hurt Walmart one bit. They will raise prices and YOU will pay their tax.

Bernie Sanders is great to listen to because he actually wants to talk about what is important while most politicians are happy to just ignore the middle class.

I think he gets a lot of things wrong but we need more politicians like him and less politicians like Clinton. The bottom line is that the decisions being made favor one group over the others. I would much rather have us argue about why our decisions are favoring one group over the others and how we can fix those issues than completely ignoring the issue in favor of endless ideological arguments that go nowhere.

The rich get richer while the middle class disappears.

"The middle class have been buried these past four years" - Joe Biden Oct 2012

More like the last forty years.

So then obviously people who make more money than you should have more power over you. I'm sure that makes perfect sense to a royalist or a plutocrat, or just some ******* moron.....but it certainly isn't American.

It would be pointless to try and explain capitalism to someone with a socialist mentality because you've been programmed to believe that any wealth created should belong to the government to distribute as they see fit (except if it's YOUR wealth). That's not what this country was founded on and it's what has made us the strongest economic force in the world for over 2 centuries. But I may as well be talking to a wall because you think you have a right to what everyone else has, whether you work for it or not.

You can't explain capitalism because you obviously don't know anything about it.

I think he just articulates well what everyone is feeling and backs it up with data. It's refreshing to hear.

Notice how that gap gets bigger when the far left is in charge?

I know that you and that other dummy are mindless FOX News drones, I know that much.

The 1% has transported most of industrial might to china. Think about that before you trust the sob.

There's so many ******* loop holes in the corporate tax that people like Romney and Obama can pay 12-15%. People like you don't give a shit about the poor or middle class!

 

[Windship]

Here is a man who cares about our country and you make fun and insult him because he doesn't have a R in front of his name.
Id like to ask: what do you disagree with?

I care about my own family and would like to use the fruits of my labor and investment for their benefit. Your family is YOUR responsibility. If you want to send money to poor people, middle class people, NASA or climate astrologers, be my guest.

And obama and Romney don't pay corporate taxes. Romney no longer is active at Bain Capital. They pay corporate tax

 

[ScienceRocks]

The rich get richer while the middle class disappears.

...and thanks to Obama, concentration of wealth has never grown faster.

Slaughtering funding for infrastructure, science, r&d or education isn't going to change a damn thing. Take that fact and smoke it in your bong!

A powerful nation and in fact civilization relies on each person paying taxes and working to make it happen. You're not a island.

Of course not, but why is it my responsibility to support those that pay no taxes?
