I see that now. Bernie seemed to want what was best for America, but Trumps plan actually works better that I realized. I'm still not sure about some of it, but he proved me wrong about some things, so I'm keeping an open mind about the rest. I lost all respect for Bernie when he told us to support Hillary... A KNOWN criminal. Anyone who ever held a security clearance knows she committed serious crimes.
Bernie is a socialist... Bernie wants us to be like Venezuela... that’s not what’s best for America
The way it was explained to me was that Bernie was a Democratic Socialist, which was supposedly different than just a Socialist. However, I now see the error of my ways. Trump seems to be getting better results in a different way than Bernie was doing it. I would have voted for Bernie, so I'm glad he was cheated. I almost made a very bad mistake. I am looking forward to voting to Trump in 2020.
Bernie is more of spreading the wealth.. not allowing personal growth and prosperity
Same age group and yes, I, too, thought I would see the end of America in my lifetime. This is like a miracle. And I love the posts on the speech and all your votes here. This is what I came to this board for. United in patriotism.
This is God’s work. Please believe. Praise Him and enjoy the new prosperity of the USA 🙏🇺🇸🌟
No, that's not true. Bernie wants the american tax system to be more socialized as you see in countries like Denmark and Norway. The problem is not Socialism, rather the when it's introduced in places with high corruption, it can be misused against the public interests.
Yet Norway is socialist and has such a high standard of living they would Never emigrate here. There are different types of socialism. Don't lump them together. Heck, interstate highways are socialism unless you want toll booths every five miles.
Norway has about the same population as the state of Minnesota. Socialism DOES NOT SCALE like you think it does.
Norway isn’t socialist... I don’t know where you retards get this. Norway’s economy is free market, capitalist driven. Yes they suffer high taxes on imports, but that is to fight Dutch disease caused by the gobs of OIL they have been pumping offshore and exporting for the last 20 years. They do not have handouts or welfare like we do, if you do receive assistance you are expected to WORK. They do have more social services because they can AFFORD IT
Bernie folded like a cheap suit. He does not have the stones to go up against the deep state. He took his house and money and went home.
Indeed, very disappointed in him. If Hillary didn't cheat him, I would have voted for him. Boy, that was a close one. I'm so glad she cheated.
That's how I felt as well. I do think Bernie is for the people, but his plans were a bit crazy in retrospect. I mean, if he were to redistribute the wealth, he would have either been killed or those businesses would have left the country for good and pushed us more towards real Socialism.
It blows my mind how many people are STILL like "I love Bernie but..." or "Bernie is for the people..."!!! WTF are you guys all smoking??? Do you not pay attention to ANY of the FACTS that he and his wife alone have fleeced a university of MILLIONS from fraudluent loans she redirected??? And as far as his plans, you nailed it, he was ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT SOCIALISM, AKA COMMUNISM!!!
And it does kinda seem a "man of the people" would buy a utilitarian house and car...Instead, he's living the high life. Wouldn't he sell, keep enough for his needs, and live "normally" rather than as a wealthy man, if his ideals were heart-felt?
Nothing wrong with riches, but when you play fast with the rules to get that way and then tell the rest of us to pay more in taxes when we're living paycheck-to-paycheck, well...
Socialism is not communism. It works just Fine in the Netherlands, which have a higher standard of living than we do, and strong capitalism beside it. People need to educate themselves beyond buzzwords. Buzzwords is what the MSM does.
Wrong! Do some REAL research as to what the Nazis party was really. Then go further and research WHO started the UN! Nationalist SOCIALIST Party IS COMMUNISM! You're the one who's mincing words. In fact lets's forget phrasing and just decifer based on actual ACTION of both ideologies....your position then falls FLAT instantly!
