Think about this if you want to vote for Bernie...

1. He is not a Scandinavian socialist, as he claims, where he lets companies do their thing and then taxes them a whole lot to make the world a better place. Instead, he thinks capitalism needs to be radically weakened: He wants to take 20% of the equity of companies to give to workers. He wants to introduce a federal jobs guarantee. He wants to require companies to qualify for a federal charter where he defines how they must act for all stakeholders.

2. He wants to double government spending, without being able to demonstrate how this will be paid for.

3. He would ban private health insurance. Most countries in the world with universal health care, such as Britain, don’t even go that far.

4. He wants to ban fracking outright. A sensible environmentalist would just tax it.

5. He wants to decriminalize border-crossing and break up ICE, even though it is understood that one of the principle roles of the federal government is to enforce our border laws.

6. He has defended autocratic socialist regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua, as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

7. He is unwilling to compromise on his ideas to get things passed.


There are other democratic candidates less sanctimonious and divisive as Bernie Sanders.

He is trying to give away the farm before he dies. Nice smh

Anything Demacrap is a NO vote.

Any thing that smells like it will raise taxes without saying it , is a NO vote. Be sure to ask your self that before you cast your vote.

So stealing what is left of the middle class before you die is ok.

He also defended a dictator to our south named Castro by talking about the literacy program he started. Only problem was it had to be pro government else you got a bullet to the head.

And that is why Bernie lost Florida. And as Florida goes, so goes the country. Congrats DJT two-term POTUS.

I met a 20 something couple in Santa Monica yesterday. She had a Bernie button pinned on her backpack.

So I started a conversation. “I see you have a Bernie button. Can I ask, Why Bernie?”

She had a hard time articulating her position. Her husband was a little more clear... but still muddled. It sounded like their biggest thing was help with their student loan debt and Medicare for all. As I probed, both had never had a full time job with benefits. They had recently gotten married and are still on their parent’s health insurance. They are concerned they won’t get jobs that will allow them to deal with student debt, health insurance and be able to live on their own.

They believe Bernie’s promises to fix those things will come to pass if he is elected.


I didn’t offer any opinions. I just listened and asked questions. At the end they asked me who I was voting for? I told them I asked because I wanted to hear why people love Bernie.

It's simple:

CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY TAXES.

THEY COLLECT THEM.

If you can't understand that if Bernie raises the cost of doing business (either by outright taxation increases, or rules changes that increases their cost)

Corporations simply pass that cost onto the consumer in one way or the other.

Vote for Bernie if you must, but do so at your own peril.

@3505

If your taxes were raised on your company - are you going to sit there and take it? or will you reduce expenses elsewhere (like firing people) or raise your prices to compensate?

If your taxes were lowered (all other expenses being equal) will you likely pocket the money, or pass it along to your consumers?

You I am sure you don't operate in a vacuum. If you don't adjust to the marketplace, your company won't survive. I doubt many companies will sit there and let Bernie siphon off their profits, that increased taxation won't be absorbed by the company as a 'good corporate citizen', no, the company will simply collect the taxation from the consumer.

If you are business owner, surely you get this

If you don't.....
Your competitors surely won't take increased taxes on the chin and they will be better positioned than you will be.

Bernie's been in Congress 30 years and hasn't done jackshit. Here's a few excerpts:

"While he has consistently advocated for progressive causes, Politico wrote that he has "rarely forged actual legislation or left a significant imprint on it."

"According to The New York Times, "Big legislation largely eludes Mr. Sanders because his ideas are usually far to the left of the majority of the Senate"

"During his time in the Senate, he had lower "legislative effectiveness" than the average senator, as measured by the number of sponsored bills that passed and successful amendments made."

"On December 10, 2010, Sanders delivered an ​8 1⁄2–hour speech against the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010,[b] which proposed extending the Bush-era tax rates. He argued that the legislation would favor the wealthiest Americans. "Enough is enough! ... How many homes can you own?" he asked."

At least 3 homes minimum....if you're a hypocrite like Bernie

There's more.........

Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont faces numerous scandals or potential scandals regarding his family’s financial practices and the bookkeeping practices of his past campaigns. Sanders’ former congressional campaigns funneled money to Sanders’ wife and stepdaughter. Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign fed millions of dollars to a makeshift political ad buying company run by Sanders’ wife’s friends.

The Vermont-focused nonprofit news organization VTDigger reported in July 2016: “The unassuming two-story, single family home…is the registered address for Old Towne Media LLC — the media buying company that purchased more than $82 million in TV ad time for Bernie Sanders’ Democratic presidential campaign, Federal Election Commission reports through May show. Old Towne’s income from the Sanders campaign has not been disclosed, but the industry standard for ad buy commissions is 15 percent. Based on that formula, the firm could have made $12 million. The ad agency, established in 2014, has almost exclusively served the Sanders campaign, and the company keeps a low profile. It has no website and no listed phone number. A full list of principals isn’t publicly available. Old Towne Media has another connection to Sanders: The two principal buyers for the company worked in the past with his wife, Jane. Jane Sanders, Shelli Hutton-Hartig and Barbara Abar Bougie were media buyers during Bernie Sanders’ 2006 Senate race.”

Here's more to think about before you vote for Bernie on Tuesday...

Bernie points to Denmark, Sweden, and Norway as examples of countries to emulate economically. But is he right about these countries?

1. Bernie says billionaires shouldn't exist, but Sweden and Norway have more billionaires per millions of people than the US.

2. Inheritance tax in Sweden and Norway are ZERO, and just 15% in Denmark. The estate tax is 40% in the U.S.

3. Sweden scrapped its socialist experiment because the economy tanked. During the period from 1970-1995, Sweden did not create a single net new job in the private sector! Sweden has cut the size of its government by a third and has emerged from its long economic slump.

4. These countries do have a generous safety net and high taxes, but to pay for this, the taxes (compared to the U.S.) are disproportionately placed on the poorer, middle, and upper middle class. In other words, taxes in the U.S. are already much more progressive than in these Scandinavian countries!

Does Bernie really know what he's talking about, or is he all just talk? Dig a little deeper, and you get very concerned...

i love seeing those interviews on college campuses where they are trying to follow impeachment or why they like a certain candidate or not.

rarely can they get to the second followup question...AOC can barely get there...maybe a little better now with past issues on it

it's a different time...what we were brought up and what they get away with now...probably due to less getting the shit beat out of you for fucking up
