well it is odd to me that he and his ilk demean and attempt to squash christian beliefs and yet it is christian churches who show the most compassion to the needy. Holy fk. So we have people genuinely volunteering to help those he refers to needing compassion and he tries to eliminate them from existence.
People you just can't make this kind of shit up! Only in Bernie's america's
He is not interested in actually helping people, He cant skim the pot if the money does not first come to him for distribution, and, he cant appear to be king if any money is distributed by any means other than his own hand. People have to see that he is their only hope at free things and help, If people learn that its real Americans donating to the churches, then they might not be as excited when it comes to bernie.
the other thing to remember is that if that dollar is stolen from you in the form of tax then redistributed, that dollar can not be claimed on your returns as a donation. If it first goes to the church as a donation, you get to claim it, so not only does Bernie lose the dollar to redistribute, he loses a dollars worth of taxes due to the deduction for charity. That dollar you give the church is actually going to cost bernie 1.20+ when it comes to his actual revenue to be redistributed
