Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

[the other mike]

I am fascinated that Liberals, who have no class, insist on having a President with class.

Bernie's base is not liberals.
It's the working class. 80 % of Trump's tax cuts benefit
the ALREADY extremely wealthy 1%.

You don't like it when corporations return money to their owners?
Fuck you, start your own company.

Americans have been inoculated against revolt so I guess it's tyranny.

I would have agreed with you 5 years ago.
People are working now and they don’t want their discretionary income going to social programs.

The corporations didn't need tax and regulation cuts
to create more jobs.

Trump did propose a trillion dollar infrastructure bill, which Paul Ryan and the boys killed in the House before Nancy even took over..

Class: The Little Word the Elites Want You to Forget

"Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith and Karl Marx grounded their philosophies in the understanding that there is a natural antagonism between the rich and the rest of us.

"The interests of the rich are not our interests.

"The truths of the rich are not our truths.

"The lives of the rich are not our lives.

"Great wealth not only breeds contempt for those who do not have it but it empowers oligarchs to pay armies of lawyers, publicists, politicians, judges, academics and journalists to censure and control public debate and stifle dissent."

In the link, Chris Hedges explains why the rich are happy to talk about race, sexual identity, gender, patriotism, religion, immigration, abortion, and gun control.

Because those issues divide the public into multiple warring tribes of culture combatants, and, in the process, demonstrating why malignant parasites like Trump and Bloomberg can switch effortlessly from one party to the other.

"Once oligarchs seize power, Aristotle wrote, a society must either accept tyranny or choose revolution."

If he was right, what's your choice?

The only class Bernie has to offer is Class Warfare.

No thanks. Eight years of Obama was enough class warfare for me.

Bernie is rich

so if he hates the rich does he hate himself too?

Did they need even more regulations than the ones Obama piled on them?

Fuck you, start your own company.

We give the investment class huge tax cuts to spur investment in new jobs and higher wages but it seems they just stick it in their pocket and very little trickles down. "The stockholders" don't give a fuck who gets shafted or exploited as long as their dividend check arrives on time.

Marxist theory: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. This principle refers to free access to and distribution of goods, capital, and services.

The fly in the soup for Marx was that he did not foresee the rise of a capitalist spawned comfortable middle class.

So, do you for a minute expect the corporations to let Bernie fleece them to fulfill the above theory and principle? Hell no!

So initially it has to be paid for from somewhere. And that somewhere is our middle class who will be taxed and regulated into the 'have-not' class way before Bernie gets around to bleeding the corporations.

As a result, we will be stuck in a classic Communist State with no way out!

Bernie is rich

so if he hates the rich does he hate himself too?

He hates cheaters who hide their capital gains in the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg to avoid paying taxes, to the tune of trillions.

Apparently the corporations did because they started hiring like wildfire the day after the cuts.

Actually, it was 'identity politics' warfare. It does lay the groundwork tho' for class warfare.

Employment is great, but millions of working families are still in perpetual debt, living paycheck to paycheck, with no vacations and expensive healthcare.

Student loan debt is $1.5 TRILLION.....the biggest cause of bancruptcy is medical bills.

I can go on.

Shareholders take their dividends and "just stick it in their pocket"?
No saving? Investing? Spending?

"The stockholders" don't give a fuck who gets shafted or exploited as long as their dividend check arrives on time.

How does my dividend shaft or exploit you?

Speaking of cheaters how does a poor marxist mayor turned senator become rich in washington?
