Bernie Sanders wants the US to become Venezuela

[nat4900]

The 100 year long decline of freedoms has included government share of your paycheck going from about 5 % to about 40%.

Which "well" explains why Trump paid zero in taxes in the 1980s.....and Romney paid a lesser percentage on his income taxes that my family did.......(How really stupid are you?)

Smart enough to google the actual statistics (which your IQ is not high enough to permit you to perform, before mindlessly stating your opinions as facts):

And that is not all the taxes either.

You are REALLY, REALLY dumb.......
Of course, you nitwit, government revenue has gone UP.....IDIOT, so has the GDP.....

Find some grown up around your basement to explain some economics to you...you are certainly too stupid to understand.....

That figure ALREADY IS relative to GDP, so it's basically the percentage of taxes an average guy pays from his pay check.

Can you even read a chart? Is even that too much for your low IQ? What regressive trash...

Yeah - it's the oil, not the socialism!

Wow, how ignorant can you be. It should tell you all that this country is dependent on oil.. - a luxury which many successful non-socialist countries don't have. Damn the socialism apologists... If Venezuela didn't have oil the socialism wouldn't have lasted even as long as it did, basing so much of the economy on the soaring oil prices of the 2000s was dumb as hell. It is ironic though that it is the things socialist can't stand - CO2 and oil... that made their lifestyle possible.


Having such a large oil deposits and still being able to ruin it all only adds to the failures of socialism.

When oil was booming....so was Venezuela

They rubbed our capitalist noses in it by providing cheap fuel oil to Americas poor families

And what might your point be?

I hope you have now correctly identified that the problem in Venezuela is socialism.

Let me make it simple then

The U.S. Economy is not Venezuelas
Just because Venezuela is failing is not justification for the U.S. To do nothing to help its citizens

Socialism is a failed system...Dumbass

All societies are a mix of socialism and capitalism
The question is getting the correct mixture

The U.S. Has socialist schools, infrastructure, police and fire, military

Government run schools are failing our inner cities... Police and fire are locally controlled

Revenues has gone up, spending as also gone way up faster which means deficits ..idiot

That figure ALREADY IS relative to GDP

Look, its NOT my responsibility to teach morons on here.........Taxes GO UP along with GDP.....
GDP GOES UP when taxes increase to pay for the infrastructure to RAISE the GDP....

Again, you're just a waste of time....Bye, bye. take a nap or another drink.

Venezuelas socialist model worked just fine when there was a strong market for oil. They were so socialist that they even offered low cost heating oil to poor people in the U.S.

Oil market crashed and so did their economy

The U.S. economy is not built on a single commodity

Yeah - it's the oil, not the socialism!

The federal government creates programs, where the money is siphoned to support the bureaucracy created, whats left, gets to the people, these politicians say they intend to help..It's very simple even for you

Revenues has gone up, spending as also gone way up faster which means deficits

Sure, moron.........Under GWB we began TWO expensive wars while slashing taxes.

(try not to breed more little morons, please.)

LOL.. that got to be one of the dumbest statements I've seen on this board lately...Taking more money from the people raises the GDP... ..You're a comedian right?

Bernie won't even try to defend the failure of socialism. This reporter asks him repeatedly to comment on Venezuela's workers paradise. He won't answer but watch his face. It's obvious he knows what he's selling won't work.

Socialism attracts two types: Idiots who want free stuff even if it destroys their country and psychopaths who want to control a country and have no trouble resorting to force when the system collapses.

Which is why, that figure is relative to GDP, and demonstrates exactly what I am saying.

Upon finding out a fact, nat4900 can be found in the following illuminating position, with his regressive pals:

Yes, they are all blaming Bush, as the reason for why they are wrong.

Obviously you are still in 5th grade and need a LOT of education......I'll type slowly so that you may (or may not) keep up.......Taxes are (or should be) used to build our infrastructure ....our airports, roads, ports, bridges, etc. that, in turn, helps our GDP......

I made it as simple to help even a 5th grader understand......However, you could be one of those 5th graders that are beyond hope......So, stay dumb I really don't give a crap.

Taxes have a negative effect on GDP, everyone knows this. Can you get anything right?

Yes duh, building something rises the GDP by definition (rather than "helps" - what ever that means). But he was talking about taxes, even fifth grader would understand. Government spending too, is negatively associated with GDP, because the resources must be taken (coercively) from elsewhere.

Further, a lot of, if not the majority by now... of government spending goes to pay for the transfer payments anyway.

this is REALLY stupid.........Exactly why should Sanders defend Venezuela????

You dimwits (because you're really stupid) want to "compare" Sanders' stance on democratic socialism issues to a 3rd world country like Venezuela.

If you want to mock socialism......then pick on Germany, Sweden, the UK, France, Italy, Australia, etc.

Its THESE countries.....our allies..... that Sanders wants to emulate and not fucking Venezuela.....

GET EDUCATED YOU RIGHT WING DIMWITS !!!!!

Many of the countries in that list are more capitalist than the USA (depending how you measure). That is probably why they can't be mocked as socialists.

The problem is that you are way out of your depth.

Bernie sure knows how to pick winners. He idolizes failures.

When Bernie Sanders Thought Castro and the Sandinistas Could Teach America a Lesson
As mayor of Burlington, Sanders praised the regimes of Nicaragua and Cuba—claiming bread lines were a sign of economic health and press censorship was necessary in wartime.

What would private schools do with inner city students who don't want to learn?

Do they have a magic formula?

 

[rightwinger]

We the People get to decide what scope of Government we want and what services they do and don't provide

The Government helping big business is PATRIOTISM
The Government helping the people is SOCIALISM

We are the wealthiest country in the world, we can afford to take care of our people

I don't know why I even bother with idiots.....but for other right wing posters who still have a brain...

The SEVEN most capitalistic countries in the world are:

Germany, Japan, Indian, China, the U.S., France and the U.K

Don't believe me.......look the data up somewhere beside Fox or Breibart.
