    The one that already generates articles about which stocks to invest in if he wins. It's not Bernie...

    You suckers. Both parties are about less competition in industry. So they support the largest of the large.

    The Republicans pretend they will work with these companies and banks to ease up regulations.
    The Democrats pretend they will work with these companies to come into compliance of stiffer regulations.

    Then they craft legislation disguised to protect consumers. But in reality, it is always about blocking any and all upstart competition for these monster companies and banks.

    There is a reason we get almost all of our news from strictly entertainment outlets. It is about divide and conquer and who better to do that than the same people who create endless emotionally manipulative tales to shape the way we think?

    Bernie Sanders is all about economic fascism as Mussolini was. So is Trump.

    From someone who has been given some really lucrative federal contract work, there are tens of millions of people in this nation totally dependent on the USA to support and enrich themselves and their loved ones. That is called a ruling class.

    Trump of course. Which is not a bad thing if you want more wealth to come back into the US. His tax plan calls for higher incentives for them to keep their factories and jobs here. And unlike Sanders, he will have better support in congress to actually get some done.

That's why Trump is bad news. He'll skew the whole system even more in favor of big business (himself.)

    Also 5.7 trillion is only a 1/3 of the national debt, where do you think he's going to get the rest of it from?
    That hit at the rich would only be true if Trump actually means what he says. You just need to look at how he has flip flopped on everything. He was in favor of abortion rights now he is against them. He was for illegal immigrant amnesty now he is against it. He was a democrat now he is a republican. Basically he is just a self-serving pandering egotist who will say whatever gets him one step closer to the white house.

    It is why the republican establishment prefer him over Cruz because they believe he'd cut deals with them and not actually go through with anything he is saying.

    This is a tax on WEALTH not income. And there's no guarantee there won't be MORE one-time taxes coming for the super rich.






    Sanders: Wants to raise taxes on the middle class.

    http://time.com/4183856/bernie-sande...s-health-care/


    So, one of these guys is talking about taxing the WEALTH of the super rich. The other is talking about taxing the middle class. Which one of these candidates do you think the super rich and the corporations are gonna support? I think its obvious that the corporations will almost universally get behind Bernie Sanders, don't you? Bernie Sanders is practically the corporate champion here.
    Most definitely Shillary Clinton

    Look at the date: 1999. That was the total debt 17 years ago.

    This poll is pointless as Congress is in charge of taxation and spending. Since Trump is such a wild card, and Sanders is a member of the minority party, there is no reason Congress would go along with either person's plan.

    No one even slightly educated on the issues is going to buy this.

    Will taxes go up on the middle class with his policies? Yes.

    But they will experience a net decrease in yearly expenditures.

    Knock off the misleading bull shit, though I don't know what you would have left if you did that.

    isn't Sanders in favor of a tax on futures trading? also did Grumm miss the part where Trump already went groveling to the wealthy backers? they turned him down.

  15. #35
    This is kind of a silly thread.

    Mr. Sanders entire campaign is about how corporations are too big. Although I agree with him, why would the corporations he is against side with him?
