    This is so awesome for Bernie lol! Just a stunningly perfect example of the problem.

    Doesn't seem to have gone viral anywhere though.

    I love Beavis and Butthead. Butthead is my alter ego. But I never said that you get paid for posting here. I don't think anyone could be stupid enough to pay for that crap. Bandwagoner must have misremembered that one. At the most, I might have said that it is hard to believe someone would post such crap without getting paid for it.

    Again, stop pretending you are in that sort of income bracket.

    I see you have more reputation bars than me although you have about 3 times the post, that is just not fair. You need to spread some of the reputation wealth around to us who do not post as much. It is only fair!!!! We should all be equal.

    It really doesn't matter, it takes 200 pts to move up a reputation bar rather than 100 pts after the 4th or 5th bar I believe.

    Again, stop pretending you are in any sort of income bracket to have your wealth redistributed to them minorities.

    So the more reputation you give up the more people like me can benefit even though it hurts you progressively worse??? Your are just a selfish reputation hoarder who will not share your reputation wealth!!!! You should be ashamed.

    This is how Facebookers and the twitterati sum up socialism because they like you don't know what it is.

    Hint CW, I went to school back in the 80's when they still talked about this stuff. I am not like the young people today who are ignorant to socialism. I am not sure about your age but your ignorance speaks volumes.

    The week of the South Caroline primary, I had a business dinner with a team from Michelin who had come to audit our facility. They were from a Greenville, SC Michelin plant. The lead auditor was from Venezuela. She could not vote due to citizenship, but she started talking about politics politics during dinner. She was the one who brought up politics as I would not normally do that in this type of business environment but the lady was absolutely terrified we might actually elect a socialist like Sanders(who she mentioned by name) since she has seen first hand how socialism has destroyed her country.

    Ignorant uneducated people like you are absolutely clueless.

    Sums up ppl who are dumb and think he's just giving away free stuff perfectly.

    It doesn't and he just wants to use the tax dollars Americans spend on Americans not the wealthy 1% who are multi-millionaires and billionaires. Also not a straight Socialist

    Your anecdotal dinner dates aren't very compelling though I find humor in you calling anyone ignorant and clueless since I've asked you several times to define socialism and you've ducked the question every time.

    Maybe next time you need to have dinner with an American who declared bankruptcy because of medical bills or an American that has $100k in student loans and works at Starbucks because his job was outsourced or an American marine on food stamps.

    democratic socialism is not totalitarianism, cults of personality, or even revolutionary really. It a slight shift in focus away from corporatism.

    Wow. That dude should get a labor job. How much can Starbucks possibly pay. I'm sure he could make great money as there is a massive need for unskilled labor in this country that illegals are certainly not driving down the wages of.

    I do not recall you asking that question as you usually just predictably attack my religious beliefs. Socialism in a nutshell is equal outcome not equal opportunity. Although in reality you end up with even more income disparity with fewer but even more wealthy rich and many more poor. There is no middle class in socialism. If you weren't such an liberal moron you might realize if our corporate income taxes weren't so high that so many jobs might not be outsourced. If you make the environment unfriendly to business, it would take a fool to realize they will not go elsewhere.

    But isn't it because it is a broken system here. There are very high corporate income taxes. At the same time you can not tax foreign profits.

    I know next to nothing about these matters. But would it not make sense to lower the corporate taxes to some extent, and let the government tax foreign profits?

    i'm trying to learn sorry ;)
