What's wrong with Sanders?
He thinks socialism works.
Anybody that dumb must be kept far away from the Presidency, or any elected office.
A major characteristic of the socialism he supports, is theft and redistribution of stolen goods.
Spoken like someone totally clueless about the real world.
Capitalism worked great when it was focused on producing commodities. Wages steadily climbed and workers were rewarded for their productivity. Because everyone was getting a piece of the pie, America flourish and had a strong and stable economy.
Then things changed in the early 80s. Workers wages stopped reflecting their contribution to the profits or their productivity. The profits went to the select few and productivity went u rewarded. Offshoring jobs started to become the norm. The middle class started it's decline. All of a sudden, capitalism didn't work so well. Our consumer driven economy became quite fragile. Inequality started to effect millions of workers and their inability to consistently contribute to the consumer driven economy because of shrinking expendable money.
The IMF, The World Bank and most economist blame income inequality for our fragile economy.
The current model of capitalism isn't working for a large majority of Americans. This is what Sanders is talking about and this is why he has been getting the largest crowds and not only in Blue States.
Most.economist think we should go back to the form of capitalism that made America strong. Sanders has opened up the discussion and most Americans are fed up with the current status quo.
What. The Sanders haters are defendIng is a system that has failed America.
I say we go back to the system that made America great and that benefitted all of America.
Yeah things were working just great in the 1970s under Carter.
Income inequality has grown under Obama and his socialist policies. It will get far worse the more of that we do.
You just really arent very bright or well informed are you? This is one of the advantages of being in your 50s. I was there. I saw what happened.
Rabbi, I am really hesitant to have any further discussions with you on these boards.
Why? Because you are like other ideologues who lack the ability to be objective. In your very narrow mind, your ideology never does any wrong. You spend all day,seven days a week pointing fingers away from your ideology. You don't have the balls to look inwardly. This trait isn't just the trait of the right but also the left.
In the past you have denied that the banks defrauded customers, that a good infrastructure is highly important in the US being competitive on the world's business stage and that unemployment numbers play a huge role in determining the state of an economy. These examples are just a few of the many issues that I have unquestionably proved you wrong, because you trusted your ideology over reality.
Now to the subject of our little discussion.
First of all, I have frequently stated that Obama hasn't been a good president and just this week, I stated Carter wasn't a good president.
Now that I got that out of the way, let's deal with the reality that income inequality thrived under both Democratic and Republican presidents and congresses. It's a fact. Go ahead and Google "history of flat wages in America", there are more than enough facts at your finger tips that prove my point.
You say I'm not too bright and uninformed, if that's the case, what does that say about you?
The difference between you and I is that I consistently use linked facts, you consistently use unlinked talking points. That is why I consistently look like the smart one and you come off looking foolish.
