How the Bernie Sanders campaign became a force to be reckoned with

[g5000]

I'll be having them right wing rubes loving single payer health care so fast, it will make your head spin.

I will be glad when this is over, so your 12 month meltdown will be over.

Too bad yours won't be over. And it will only increase after November.

Right? My meltdown is about corruption and deceit. Yours is about a guy that hasn't even won the primaries

It's funny how you mistake satire and jeering for a "meltdown".

 

[g5000]

Bernie Sanders "became a force to be reckoned with" for the same reasons Trump did.

America did not want to have to choose between another Clinton and another Bush.

That they decided to go with a couple of clowns even worse explains how we got the first Clinton and the first Bush.

because he focuses on the American people. He might be senile, but his heart is in the right place.

NAH. He's attracting the younger voters with his talk of free college and free everything.

Most of these young voters have no idea that nothing is free nor do they care. If they can get it and not have to pay for it then it works for them.

Unfortunately the taxpayers of America get stuck with the bill for all that "free" stuff.

Mans a socialist moron.

And we get stuck with the bill for all the shit YOU want. Your wars, corporate bailouts and subsidies. These are all things you want and need to be paid for. I'd rather take care of people here then spend it on endless wars and subsidies for mega corporations and you want the opposite.

So who is the moron?

Oh look. Another ignorant, partisan moron who thinks his side are the good guys

When dealing with the selfish asshole that Claudette is, yes I am "the good guys".

What do you consider selfish? Expecting people to wipe their own ass?

Do you want a real response or should I just assume you want to take jabs no matter what I say?

Let me know.

 

[Claudette]

Yup another idiot who's all for free stuff.

Apparently he doesn't know that the laws need to be changed to get rid of subsidies, and Congress has approved all those wars he's harping on.

Oh and the people need to take care of themselves without we taxpayers being forced to bankroll their lives for em.

You're just as much as for "free stuff" as anyone else. Who the hell are you trying to kid?

You love other peoples money as much or more than all the "free loaders" you love to hate.

What a load of horseshit.

I've never taken a dime of taxpayer money and I've sometimes worked two and three jobs to make ends meet. If I can do it then every freeloader in America can do it.

The only money I love is my own which I hate having spent on freeloaders.

Fool.

Do you take advantage of tax deductions and credits? Mortgage interest deduction? Child tax credits? Do you take advantage of the employer sponsored health insurance tax exemption?

Then you are a taker, too.

Nope. A Freeloader I ain't.

So you don't pay any taxes at all? Then you are DEFINITELY a freeloader!

I pay State, Local and Fed Taxes every year. How bout you??

Sure as shit not a Freeloader.

Yes, and I take advantage of all the deductions and exemptions and credits I can. Just like you do, taker.

We're all takers. The difference between you and I, though, is that I know I am a taker, and I have been calling for an end to these massive government gift programs you and I use.

In the meantime, I would be a fool to leave the money on the table the government has put there for me.

Talk about selfish.

How selfish is it to expect the taxpayers to take care of people. People who should be taking care of themselves???

You selfishly think all we taxpayers should feel duty bound to bankroll the lives of every freeloader in America.

Selfish indeed. Idiot.

And you want ME to pay for YOUR wars and welfare for your corporations that you suck up to.
What makes you any different?

I'll tell you...at least I want tax dollars to be used to help people in this country who are in need.

We are the richest country in the world, we should ensure our citizens have at least the basics.

My big wars? My corporations?? Boy are you out to lunch.

Our citizens should be taking care of themselves not expecting someone else to provide for them.

 

[g5000]

You poor dumb rubes are dancing to your master's tune. You have been trained like dogs to jump through all their hoops and blame "that guy over there" for the mess we are in. You've let yourselves be led to bleev what you are told to bleev.

"It's the Democrats' fault!"

"It's the Republicans' fault!"

You've been divided and conquered.


What a bunch of saps.

You "want free shit" just as much as anyone else. It's such a ridiculous talking point.

Show me one post where you advocate that we stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on the military, wars and corporate subsidies and I'll apologize and take back everything I said.

But at the end of the day, we want our tax dollars spent differently. I'd prefer to take care of Americans with that money and you wouldn't.

In the meantime, I would be a fool to leave the money on the table the government has put there for me.

The only deduction I get is me. Period.

With that I get some of my money back each year. Not much. Not nearly what I pay in but I do get that back.

Don't think that makes me a taker at all. Its my hard earned money and its good to get at least a small fraction of it back.

You don't have employer-sponsored health insurance?

You must have a shitty job.

And no kids? That's a pity.

As for the deduction you take, it is paid for by higher tax rates. As are all deductions, exemptions, and credits.

You're a taker.

Who says I want free shit?? You??

Just because you want free shit doesn't mean that I do. I've worked for everything I have. No one ever gave me anything and I sure don't stand around waiting for someone to give me free shit.

Americans need to take care of themselves.

Do you have health insurance? Through your employer?

Yup and I pay for part of it too. Nothing is free. The cost has gone up 60% in the last two years because of that POS the ACA.

Its a benefit I've never used in all my working life.

 

[bendog]

Yeah, I'll bite. How can anyone think they aren't "taking" off the gummit dime for counter-terrorism or highways or CDC or clean air/water?

Then you are taking advantage of the biggest individual tax expenditure out there!

So you are a taker.

 

[g5000]

Poor blind rubes don't even see how their government gifts come at the expense of every taxpayer. They point at the guy on food stamps with anger, and then take their government gifts in the form of exemptions and deductions and credits, never realizing their gifts add up to literally TWICE as much as all welfare programs.

"Gimme, gimme, gimme and make that guy over there pay for it."

And then when everything goes to shit, who have they been trained to blame? That guy over there!

Poor dumb saps.

The government doesn't put the money there for you Ruby5000, it's your money. Stop drinking your own piss,

Bernie Sanders "became a force to be reckoned with" for the same reasons Trump did.

America did not want to have to choose between another Clinton and another Bush.

That they decided to go with a couple of clowns even worse explains how we got the first Clinton and the first Bush.

I understand how Hillary sucked all the air out of the room (and how bad the dems are in terms of natl candidates) but I don't see how Jeb explains why Kasich (and to a lesser degree Christie) have been run over by the Donald.

 

[g5000]

If a feudal lord had 20 serfs under him, and his annual expenditures came to $1000, he would have to tax each serf $50.

If he then took $200 of this money and returned it to 5 of his favorite serfs, he would have $800 left. Not enough to cover his $1000 in expenses. And so he needs to tax everyone an additional $10 to balance his books. In short, he would have to raise the tax rates by 20 percent on everyone to come out even and to give the $200 gift to his five favorites.

This is the system we have today.

Those 5 inner circle serfs tell themselves, "Woo hoo! I get to keep more of my money! Yay!", completely oblivious to the fact everyone is paying higher tax rates because of them, including themselves.

Instead of paying $50 in taxes, the other 15 serfs who are carrying them are paying $60 in taxes.

Bad for the economy. And wealth begins to concentrate up to the favored five.

The rubes have let their fear and anger run away with them. The first thing out the window is logic when emotion takes over.
