It's time for a political revolution. But you keep supporting the corporatists. Fascism is right around the corner.What labor? Government workers? I can't see private sectors unions supporting him.
If we had 4 years of Bernie, we'd have no labor left!
It's amazing. People can't seem to grasp history or even current world conditions in the slightest. People supporting Sanders, an admitted socialist, somehow believe socialism works for the regular folks. It's hilarious and extremely scary at the same time.
Free enterprise creates the most wealth for the most people. Our system of economics has forever changed the human condition. The vast majority of humans in world history have lived in poverty, and then America came along. Now, almost every American household has at least one car, all appliances, A/C, HD TV, and over eats.
All the while, hard leftist want to emulate poverty stricken countries economic models thinking this is how we build the middle class.
If Sanders plans went into action, the middle class would be obliterated. Only the rich and ruling classes would be standing in the end.
It's so easy to observe the evidence everywhere and yet it is ignored.
Which would those be? I hear Socialism is working great for the Greeks.Some of the worlds most striving economy's are in Socialist countries.

I'm going to have fun with that link.http://blog.peerform.com/top-ten-most-socialist-countries-in-the-world/
The banks are what screwed over Greece.
What right do we have to demand the wealthy gives up more of their money? I don't get it. People say my generation is me me me. And the generation ahead of me is sitting here saying we deserve those rich people's money because I don't have enough.Not claiming to know all about Canada or numerous Scandinavian countries, nor am I completey up to speed on what Bernie Sanders is selling, but this needs to be corrected first and foremost.
I'm not purposing that the wealthy "give up" their money.What right do we have to demand the wealthy gives up more of their money? I don't get it. People say my generation is me me me.

Exactly. This is the problem with giving Corporations and billionaires tax breaks. The idea is the will "trickledown" the saved money to the workers pay or create more jobs. The problem is this doesn't happen. That tax break money goes into the stock market as increased dividends or the billionaires pockets. It doesnt work for the non-union middle class anymore.I'm not purposing that the wealthy "give up" their money.
I'm suggesting that this country was built on free market, supply and demand principles.
These principles were to be guarded and balanced by what are now antiquated and manipulated anti-trust laws that are fueling the inequities that are illustrated in the video I linked this morning.
People from my generation remember thriving small businesses that are now non-existent in many markets such as hardware, groceries, small and large household appliances, to name a few.
These were usually family owned businesses, that were often cornerstones of many communities, but have been driven to extinction by multi-billion dollar conglomerations to which they cannot compete.
I believe the term they use for them is "Big Box Stores"?
Make no mistake, the playing field is no longer level and the "American Dream" as it was once characterized is dead, unless steps are taken to tip the scales back into balance.
My lunch break is almost over, so maybe later this evening we can discuss the "crooked casino" that is the US Stock Market that is playing an equal role in the wealth inequity in America, where through manipulation, money makes money without any tangible byproducts.
What sucks is the way the big box stores pays their workers. This prevents their workers from having the decision to go anywhere but the big box stores.^^ Bix box stores is what's called progress. Now we can go to one place like Walmart or Target and buy virtually everything, and much cheaper than they are at a Mom and Pop. It's better for everyone, except yes, the mom and pop. That's just natural progression. You only go to a corner convenience store if you need to for convenience. You end up paying much more for much smaller selection. It would suck if we went back to when that was the only choice.

I've watched the video before and it confirms economist Gruber's statements about the stupidity of American voters.What was funny about my post HGB?

Supply-side or trickle-down economics - you mean like hundreds of billions on bailouts and stimulus?Exactly. This is the problem with giving Corporations and billionaires tax breaks.
