Free public high school? Who the hell do you think is paying for that? That's Right, people that wor k hard and actually make money.

Darn socialist high schools. It's such a shame that high schoolers today are just GIVEN their opportunities. We need to make them work hard at minimum wage jobs and enter life in debt they can barely pay.

I miss the good old days when families struggled to send their kids to high school.

Sorry, but I don't think you actually ever looked at his tax plan.

Having a hard time understanding how you can call someone who fought for civil rights in the 1960's, voted against the Iraq War AND predicted many of it's consequences (like the government not sustaining itself, others countries thinking it's okay to annex other countries such as Russia with Ukraine/Crimea, the people starting an uprising and getting out of control), and rejects money from people and corporations known to do 'questionable' practices a "retard".

Quite frankly, I have to question if you even know anything about Bernie Sanders besides the word "socialist" that you probably see on your who-the-hell-knows-where-you-get-your-information-from sources.

Sweden and Denmark to name a few.

He has a pretty comprehensive tax plan. It's all available on his website if you ever want to check it out. Cost isn't so much a worry. I would hardly call him a radical. He's been an independent most of his time in congress and his views align fairly well with the Democratic Party. As for soft communism, he's far from it.

$15 minimum wage is a part where I agree with you on. It should be raised but not to $15. Though, I really don't think he would manage to get it that high anyways.

He's only 5 years older than Donald Trump. Many congressmen work till their 80's. He could serve 2 full terms and be 83, which is a time where many congressmen start retiring.

You may be surprised to find out Bernie Sanders isn't as left-leaning on gun control as most Democrats are. Some even criticize him because he has supported pro-gun bills in the past.

 

Though I like how he has specific plans I don't like them and I don't support him as president (in fact, I actually don't know who I'll vote for president). Basically he has very left, socialist ideal. When one is far left or right, there's always problems due to their overzealousness, and sometimes radical views of their particular side. His plans aren't organized in priority order and there are holes in them (how will the gov. get the money and so on.) Also not to mention republicans control the other branches so his laws aren't likely going to pass. I haven't read in detail his plans but far left socialism (what he is) is basically soft communism. It looks great on paper, sounds great, but in reality it doesn't work.

I also heard he says he wants to raise the minimum wage to $15... I'm personally against that. Businesses would have to cut jobs to make up for labor cost and possibly move out of the country for the cheaper labor. Plus minimum wage isn't meant to be a profession, it's meant more for as a part-time job, first time job, or some highschooler/college student job.

Also for presidency... IDK.. His health is an issue. President is one of the more stressful jobs. With his age I'm not sure if he can handle that, he sounds like he's about to give out anytime.

 

Bernie Sanders is an idiot. He thinks money grows on trees and that everything should be free.

Free college? Who the hell do you think is paying for that? That's Right, people that work hard and actually make money.

He even goes as far as saying that taxing the upper middle class and above 92% isn't out of the picture. How stupid can someone get?
The idiots that vote for him...

You've got to be kidding me if you think he is somewhat reasonable.

Complete Retard

 

You do realize that a democratic socialism government is also capitalism? You also know that Denmark, like other small European countries have a small army because they don't need a major one.

What about England, France, or Germany? They are democratic socialists with strong armies.

Please source facts supporting your points, because they used the same regulation argument in the 1900s when children were working and dying on factories.
