Too many people are under the impression that this money for "free college" and "creating more jobs" is going to come out of thin air.

Let's say we increase taxes on large corporations. The corporations are paying more now, yippee! Oh wait, the purpose of a corporation is to generate revenue and profit. So what are they going to do? One of the ways to make more money would be to increase the price for their consumers to make up for the money payed in tax, meaning we are still paying more in the end. Some of these 'Cayman Island' corporations that Sanders wants to tax include Coca-cola, Intel, and Oracle, all well known names; so we would definitely be affected. It doesn't matter if you're in the top 1% or a household with $20,000 in annual income, you're more than likely going to be paying more overall.

Sanders' plan to tax speculators to raise revenue and decrease trade volume is kinda ironic because if you're raising more and more revenue that means that trade volume is actually increasing (opposite of his goal). Whereas a decrease in a trade volume would mean you'd be raising less revenue than you need because there would be less money to tax.


This is assuming Sanders would somehow get elected, and then somehow manage to get his ambitious plans passed in Congress. :rolleyes:

Socialism is the second most dangerous idea to exist because it's the next door neighbor of Communism.

The most dangerous idea to exist is Communism.

Enough reason to not vote Bernie Sanders.

y'all seem to forget that congress is paranoid about the word 'socialist' in any context, so none of bernie's policies about taxation and social services would go through.

but i still think he'd be a good president, probably a bit better without the massive taxation policies. certainly better than either donald drumpf or hillary reptilian.

Factually incorrect. People only label it such because of big words like 'universal healthcare'. While many policies are socialist, it is by no means a purely "socialist state". Plenty of capitalistic elements in there.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and acts like a duck, it's a duck. In socialism, the government does not control most markets.

So by your absurd logic, you're going to equate Canada to China?

Good one.

China is a Socialist one party state controlled by the self-labled"Communist Party". This does not make it a communist state.


Communism implies there is total equality among all classes socially and economically. China has an immense wealth gap as well as private markets everywhere. In China, cash is influence, opposite of what communism strives to achieve.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong and clearly have no clue what you're talking about.

Neither do you though, so it's all OK.
