Who is we? More people getting handouts? We wouldn't be better off under him I can promise you. Originally Posted by nwarounder

Bernie is the only logical choice right now.Where would the money go? That is a good question. Being that "President Bernie" wouldn't be alone to make decision, I would guess the money would end back in the hands he took it from in the first place.
Sure, he said he'd raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, but that's not a bad thing at all. Trickle down economics is a fucking joke that's been spoon-fed to the lower class for decades. There's a reason we're in the mess we're in right now.
The only real question is where the money goes. Bernie says that it will go to infrastructure, job creation and financing college education. That's all well and good but we need something a little more concrete than a bunch of verbal cliches.
I like Bernie though. He seems honest. He's always stood for taking the money out political campaigns, which just makes you want to trust him more. Originally Posted by shanm

I can't understand why any American would waste their time on a socialist.Because you have no idea what socialism actually is, that's why. We are constantly bombarded in this country with the tired tropes that we know better and we're superior and there are no better ways of doing things other than the way we do them. There are many ways to do things. Plenty of countries are running just fine on what you would call 'socialism' and their people are happy and they have good lives.

Ok so lets say Bernie wins and he implements extensive Socialist Programs. What do you expect to see happening that will give rise to a better, happier more prosperous America that Capitalism failed to provide?Are you serious? Capitalism is predicated on cheap labor. Once that labor is no longer cheap, the jobs leave. That's why we are a service economy. The production jobs left, for the most part. Capitalism is the reason for wealth inequality. Greed. If you work a full-time job, you should make enough money to support yourself on it. Instead, we have people below the poverty line, who require government assistance to make ends meet. And you continue to show your lack of understanding by talking about 'socialist programs'. They're just programs. Bernie is a democratic socialist. Democratic socialism is simply the support of economic intervention to promote social justice within a capitalist economy. It's not about the state takeover of industry, which is I think the fear of most conservatives.
