There is no middle class anymore.
Hay Anon:
Your truth is false! The fact of the matter is nothing is free, ever. Someone has to work to produce an income that can be taxed. If you haven’t noticed we are already overtaxed because the government has overspent. Even if you adapt your crazy notion of taking ALL the money the rich has, it would not begin to pay for what you Bernie’s want.
The fact is that Bernie will have to borrow trillions to pay for the freebies he wants to give away. The fact is, there is just not enough money to buy the votes he wants to purchase by pandering to the entitlement crowd.
You bullies that will take money away from hard working middle class people are just plum wrong in your belief that the American working stiff is going to sit by idly and let you left wingers walk all over them.
And, everybody has the same rights to education and healthcare. We only need to go out and apply ourselves!
Bernie is such a BAD idea!!!
I really hope he gets elected and you can see how wrong you are. Of course you won’t admit it, but you will be wrong. Yes, those of us in the middle – which isn’t really the middle anymore, it’s the lower middle because the middle class is evaporating – are paying our fair share. But, there are people who aren’t. The Donald Trump’s of this nation aren’t paying a fair share. The 1% own more wealth than the great majority of this country. Why? How? They have gained on the backs of the middle class you supposedly champion. Do you know any lobbyist who is working for the middle class? Well, there aren’t any. Have our wonderful representatives in Washington done anything lately that benefits you directly? Most likely not unless you earn over a million a year. Why have executive salaries far surpassed workers earnings in the last 20 years? Not everyone has an equal playing field here buddy. You are the reason that the middle class is shrinking because you don’t know jack about Bernie.
I should not say it but I will. He does have the best plan for Social Security and Medicare that I have seen. It just makes good sense to raise the cap for funding. It is pretty painless for the middle class and makes the rich pay their fair share. It just goes to show that a insane person can have a good idea once in awhile too.
And like the blind squirrel finding a nut once and awhile, even an idiot can make a semi-intelligent comment from time to time.
Actually you are very wrong Watchdog. Lots of things are free. Sunlight, air, rainfall, Gravity, laws of physics, photosynthesis and plant growth. Land could be free if we had the proper policy. Your attitude is outdated.
Our form of government had a pretty good run…. Like The Simpsons. Now, let’s change the channel.
The amount of hatred that surfaces at election time makes me sick.
No one has to agree with each other, but if you’re going to disagree-try not sounding like big fat cry babies making sh#t up to discredit someone.
The truth is nothing is free with Sanders. It’s fairly taxed. The only difference is he wants EVERY ONE to have the same rights to education and healthcare. The rich shouldn’t get richer in corrupt tax breaks, and the poor deserve a fighting chance to at the very least have health standards.
The majority of closely compared countries have sucessful socialized medicine, and education.
If you want to state your political point, try sounding less like a over zealous psychopath, and be reasonable with your words.
Hate is not just a election time, it’s all the time. We live in a hateful society. Just take a look at this website. Hate filled comments and stories and Pete defending pedophilia. We live in a messed up world. I’m even beginning to think this site is just defending all the bad around us. There’s rarely an article that us positive. Sad.
The site leans towards opinion, rather than news. This makes it a blog site to attack people. Real news surces state the facts and give you the information to form opinion. the number one reason I’m not a paid member of this site, is I’m not going to pay to be trolled by the same 4 or 5 overly opinionated people that just like to attack people.
@Political Science
That blog was total bobbly goop. Your made up definition is just that, made up!
Your foolish notion that 5% is in control is way off base. While there are a lot of wealthy people in the markets, their are a huge percentage (95%) of our population that go to work every day and their 401k, pensions, and savings are invested in the very markets you would destroy and blame for our counties success.
You Bernies want to shit in your own nest.
You are foolish and very misguided! Don’t be dragging the rest us down the sewer with you.
@Watchdog-You are talking to Lagios posting under a different name again. Of course he like socialist and all the free stuff he can get. He has never worked a honest day in is life. He is nothing but a leech and a dredge on society. The sick S.O.B. should be locked away before he hurts someone other than his own child.
You are wrong there LVS, peter has held an honest job, but no more than a week or so.
@David-I said “HONEST” days work. Just showing up and shooting off his big mouth is not honest.
Once again my brother your comments will come back to haunt you. Learn to live in Peace.
At your final hour, may you be judged more mercifully than you have judged others on this site. God visits here often and knows you by name.
Socialism as a dirty word means those who believe it to be aren’t comprehending what constitutes as a “Socialized” mechanism. They pick and choose what attributes of socialism they’ll allow versus those they won’t allow…favoring large corporate interests which they worship as the apex triangle idol foundation which the entire nation’s soul rests on. This has been skillful voodoo manipulation by the 5% who control everything and the minds of everyone. For example…give land to logging companies, gas drilling companies and oil companies out of the public coffers but refuse land to poor people who want to homestead. Give public money to massive law enforcement agencies for hi-tech military toys, but refuse money to citizen police review boards. It’s all found in the skillful manipulation of allocation and attribution.
An additional point:
Carping about the education and intellect level of bloggers are irrelevant.
While grammar and spelling is important when expressing oneself, it does not create wisdom.
Now go find fault with saying: doesn’t instead of don’t!
SOCIALISM JUST DOESN’T WORK AND NEVER WILL!
Feel better now?
Democratic Socialism DOES work, and you better get used to it. President Sanders is going to bring it!
Hey Dog. Grammar and spelling “are” important. Your comments “is” unimportant.
@buffalobill70 and you other Bernies
To support Bernie Sanders defies any understanding of economics and how our American way of business is accomplished. Currently we call it Capitalism. What Mr. Sanders proposes only serves to continue the destruction of ambition and the American work ethic.
Free College? Really? Private colleges cost about $40,000 per year while Public College cost about $10,000 per year. (Give or take)
The taxpayers are already subsidizing that $30,000 per year per student difference in Public Colleges. Is it unrealistic to expect an individual to contribute to their own future and well being? After all, self esteem is something you earn.
I too am a war vet, 70 years young, registered independent and could never vote for a devout Socialist.
We have both lived long enough to see the destruction that Socialism has caused around the world. IT JUST DON’T WORK and never will!
Heard old Bloombutt -mayor of new jork is going to take a shot at the demorat electorial group — What a joke this worthless party has become.
FEEL THE BERN
What a fool. Only libraterd leeches support Sanders who is a full blown communist. Get off you ass and get a job and earn your own money.
Oh I’m educated and make 6 figures a year LVS. The smart people can see through the BS that is all of the other candidates. Bernie is the real deal
You are a damn liar. You are just a leech who wants something for nothing.
Uh no, I’m not lying. I’m an educated professional who is caucusing for Bernie. Feel the Bern LVS, FEEL IT!
I guess they are right. There is a fool born every minute and Sanders backers are fools.
Bernie Sanders appeals to fools who look at government like Santa Claus. Gimme free stuff!!!.
He’s been in government for 25 years. He’s part of the problem people. He was there when they all voted themselves a massive pay raise and Obamacare exemptions. Now he whines about income inequality. He created it!!
Not to mention the fact that he will be 75 years old when the election rolls around.
If you take advice from Susan Sarandon, you deserve what you get.
Here’e your free stuff. Now welcome to Cuba. With higher taxes.
You are patently wrong. I am not on welfare, never have been and never will be. I supported Bernie before he even announced his candidacy. He knows how the government works and has plans in place to pay for what he is asking. Even the economist whose figures were used in a Wall Street Journal article against Sanders says Sanders’ proposals will SAVE the U.S. 5 trillion dollars. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gerald-friedman/the-wall-street-journal-k_b_8143062.html
Forbes says carsons tax plan is the best for the U.S.
Ya can’t fix stupid. If you love Bernie so much, move to Cuba.
You are a real American aren’t you fred.
Bernie Sanders is not a socialist. Quit calling him one and learn to be objective and well-read.
http://theconversation.com/is-bernie-sanders-really-a-socialist-and-how-could-he-like-denmark-53201
LOL at asking these clowns to “read” and “learn”. Their only defense against Bernie is to scream SOCIALIST as loud as they can. Luckily the number of young, educated voters out there is rising and the number of ignorant old conservatives keeps dwindling as they die off. The young and educated can see through the lies of everyday politics and realize the system is fundamentally broken and working only to favor the super rich and their corporate buddies. The young haven’t bought the lie that the poor are their worst enemy.
I wonder if Susan will be high like she said she was at one of the past award shows?
Bernie Sanders is nothing more than a puppet for the week minded, welfare, food stamp, give me everything, liberal, pansy society.
Your assumption is way off. I’m a veteran with two jobs, lifelong registered Reagan era republican, who is voting for Bernie.
My assumption is right on, jackass.
I love how LVS has given up his name and is now using a different moniker with every post. It allows him to be the same idiotic old asshole while thinking he’s anonymous. I hope you’re ready for President Sanders
You got that right. LVS is flying low under radar these days. He in the “Archie Bunker” witness protection program.
I never, never post under any name but my own. As usual Racist makes stupid comments. He is so damn brain dead he thinks Sanders might win.
Based on some of LVS’s “wise” and “thoughtful” comments, I think he is Sarah Palin in disguise.
@anonymous-laugh if you want but Sara is rich and you are a nothing. She is laughing all the way to the bank while you are standing in line waiting on your EBT card.
You would be hard pressed to find someone more stupid & ignorant than LVS.
He has the mouth of an alligator and the brain of a minnow.
Without stupid people like LVS, we would have no one to laugh at.
We sometimes romanticize than our elders are wise, because of their years of experience.
But you know what?
Stupid people get old too and LVS is a prime example of that.
Your education is pretty WEAK. You should spare us your moronic insights and keep paying your crippling taxes and heath insurance premiums and wait for “retirement”.
Bernie is proposing free tuition to colleges and universities. That would be the perfect solution for a “weak” education.
You would be the one with the weak education. If you want to see crippling taxes, vote for Bernie. Do some research.
First off “week” is a time of period equal to 7 days. While “weak” is “lacking the power to perform physically demanding tasks; lacking physical strength and energy” or “liable to break or give way under pressure; easily damaged” or “lacking intensity or brightness” or “contrasted with strong.” If you are going to troll at least learn to troll with the proper wording for it makes a better statement and shows that your at least educated.
Next, you show look at what the candidates are not saying. It says more then what they are saying. Look at Trump his silence speaks volumes. Then look at what they are saying about what matters to you. I would say that education isn’t high on your list but, welfare and food stamps are so you might want to see where they stand on that. Then look to see exactly how likely their ideas are to be put into action. I mean they can say just about anything to get your vote but getting through congress is another matter all together. I mean you might be a my daddy/mommy was a Republican and my daddy’s daddy/ my mommy’s mommy was a Republican and we have been a Republican since we first stepped foot here in American but that doesn’t mean that you have to look at the candidates through party glasses. Looks at them as candidates who do you think would be the best? Not based on party. Not based on any but the way you think….. oh wait that would be Trump for you wouldn’t it I see the writing on the post. You can improve with a little work on your part.
But, really learn to troll better for next time okay!
Just Saying… Maybe you should check your grammar and spelling before you attack someone else for what they wrote. In your first paragraph you used “your” where you clearly needed to use “you’re”. Then the beginning of the second paragraph you used “show” when it clearly should have been “should”. So, practice what you preach or you just come off looking like an asshat.
looks like someone else is using my name
Your comment is a classic example of sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Right back at you.
