Bernie Sanders gave an amazing WaPo interview

nothing stopping you from moving to any other country.. so if thats what you want, go pursue it because it's not going to happen here

@burntbyhellfire: Trim the quotes. And those who do not question their government are NOT patriots.

@AlexKidd5000: last time I checked homeless shelters still existed.

@AlexKidd5000: Which poor person has created even half that many jobs?

Everyone needs to pay. Period.

Simplistic is saying the wealthy get wealth because of society........while ignoring that we make conscientious decisions where and how we spend our money. Don't misunderstand and think I am suggesting every purchase we make is up for debate.

and forcing people under the thumb of communism at gun point or with over taxation and destruction of the middle class is simply anti-american.. we fought a revolution specificly to be different from the "ever other country in europe is like that" nonsense.. im glad the united states isnt just like europe, its better, and its better because we do not elect people like bernie to destroy it

The taxation being relived is for the wealthy. NOT the middle class wherein their rights are continually eroded by the GOP. Which party is anti union? Which party gave permanent tax cuts to the rich and temporary tax cuts to the middle class?

We did NOT fight a revolution to be different. We fought for representation. You need to study history and then come back.

Exactly, it was fought so we could have a government that listens to us. And the policies that bernie fought for his whole life are the policies that the vast majority of people want. To call medicare for all, and tuition free public college, a rebuilt infrastructure, strong unions, the abolishment of private prisons, and systemic racism, higher taxes on the corporations, and the rich communism is absolutely ludicrous, and just shows his complete lack of education.

That's objectively not communism unless you think Denmark, Norway, Sweden, etc. are communist.

With that said you sure as hell don't seem to mind the high taxed Blue States subsidizing Red States.

again, how does bernie plan to pay for the because those evil rich people you blame your own problems and failures in life on, aren't going to.. youre not going to get free college, or free healthcare as poor quality as those services would be even if they did.. where are you getting the money for it when "the rich" say no?

and you want to talk about lack of education, you actually think you're going to get free shit from this guy, he refuses to even pay his own campaign workers the $15/hr he says every business owner needs to pay their own employees

Thank god he doesn’t stand a chance. He’d ruin the US.

Trump 2020!

Bernie walked with MLK and has been fighting for middle class rights for 30+ years. He is fucking legit. Dont talk shit- his voting record speaks for itself. I dont care at all that he is now a high $$ earner. He pushes legislation for low income people and never for his own tax benefit

Actually he does pay his campaign staff $15/h so does AOC.

And if Bernie was president, He'd have the power to raise the taxes on the rich, no matter what the hell they said.

if he truly believed people should be paid $15/hr, and considered that a living wage he'd pay his own people that even if it meant selling one of his vacation homes.. like everyone else on the left, none practice what they actually preach because they preach what they preach to buy votes in lieu of any legislation that would actually help anyone

bernie is a fraud

then "the rich" will simply go elsewhere, and then not only are you not taking money from them at the higher tax rate, you're not taking it from them at a lower one either... then what'll you do to pay for your unsustainable garbage?

Thank you, I have not seen this video yet. Many people at that age do not keep up with the times.

Congress would have the power to raise or lower taxes. Congress.

funny thing about that...they leave anyway.

@burntbyhellfire: over blown as usual. Some people in bernies campaign staff went to the media for some stupid reason, releasing details about the union negotiations before they were finalized, they are still on going. Big fat nothing burger.

So does this fall under the category of hypocrisy, irony, or poetic justice? All three?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/19/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-union-clash/index.html

Just shows what this guy truly is all about. ROFLMAO!

@Xabiss: that's the article I read and refered to as a big fat nothing burger. Bernie is not being hypocritical lol. You obviously only read the headline, bernies campaign staffers are going to be limited to 40 hours a week at 15 dollars an hour, as opposed to the 60 they were working. Hardly hypocritical. This is a presidential campaign funded by small donations, it's not a business, so money is kinda tight.

A presidential campaign raking in MILLIONS of dollars, but the budget is tight! Just stop!

@Xabiss: actually I was wrong about that. They are still getting payed $15/h for 40 hours a week. So I don't get how this is controversial.

You can't say the media is wrong when the say mean things about Trump, but right when they say mean things about bernie, do you have any idea how hypocritical that makes you look?
