No they won't. The only way to pay for Bernie's programs is massive tax increases on the middle class.

It's not wrong. You could confiscate 100% of billionaire's assets and it wouldn't pay for universal healthcare.

You'd also be taking that money out of the economy which would impact jobs and investment.

Then why is Bern driving his tax increase down to the 31K range?

US real GDP is roughly 19.2 trillion annually.

The Green New Deal alone is projected to cost 93 trillion over 10 years.

That's almost half of the total economic output of the entire country. The mental gymnastics required to think rich people are going to fund this is staggering

Even the oft used Denmark as a model to follow has growing poverty. They have homeless people.

Exactly. Unless you are extremely poor you'll be paying for it. Nothing like voting for the government to steal from your neighbors

Replying to @AGHamilton29
Denmark has one of the highest tax rates in the world. Average Dane pays over 45%. That’s how they afford their system. Even a similar system would mean a huge tax hike for nearly every American.

Replying to @AGHamilton29
Denmark’s system is very localized. It’s managed at a regional and local level, not federal. M4A would be exact opposite.

Denmark allows supplementary private insurance. Bernie’s M4A plan notably bans it.

Replying to @AGHamilton29
Denmark also has huge immigration restrictions and severe restrictions on access to healthcare for foreigners and illegal immigrants to limit costs. Bernie wants to do the opposite and open up government-funded healthcare for anyone who is here.

You do realize the wealthy will just move their money elsewhere.. I'll never understand the mindset of attacking the most financially mobile in order to pay for your own laziness..

I think this is a flash in the pan and a more conservative movement will prevail.

This thread is a perfect example of what our country is like. A question is asked of the other side without any real interest in discussing the topic

I don't hate anyone. I pray for him every day.

Which policies exactly?

I don't see a cohesive plan, just sound bites and knee jerk rx.

I'm considering voting for Bernie for fun. I get to consider things like this because I've never lived in a swing state or even a swing district. Maybe I'll base it on which candidate's SNL character says the most Louisiana-related things from here until the election.

And more strides need to be made in feeding the hungry in America.



This is a community issue. Not one for the government. All it takes is a few Gofund me/FB awareness groups to spread a message and the community can take care of itself. Take a look at what LSU fans did on gofundme for the 2019 season. There were numerous fundraisers such as GSU family, BR food bank, Lower Ohio food bank, Colton to meet O, and more.

Bernie will stop the wasteful spending, feed the hungry and make college free.



The same man that praised standing in line for bread is gonna end hunger in America.

quote:

The income from legalizing weed will be substantial to the economy.



My advice is to get off the drugs. I have no issue with the legalization of weed. However, given your previous comments I think You've smoked yourself stupid.

quote:

Having to dish out over 100k for college is ridiculous.



I agree, but the answer isn't for it to be free. The answer is to remove Universities' incentive to continually raise the cost of tuition based on the amount of federal money they can receive. They can charge whatever they want because they know we will pay for it. It starts with the banks. It's a corrupt system that needs legislation not handouts to fix.

quote:

Tax the hell out of the rich


This never fricking works and the top 1% already pay 90% of the taxes. Ask Brazil how that worked out. Bernie is just like Lula da Silva. He's not a communist he's just that new cool socialist... Keep buying the rat poison. It will end with misery.
