Foxx Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 20 minutes ago, snafu said: ... Sanders’ approach is just a side door to his goal of reshaping everything. When he says things like revolution and movement, he means revolution and drastic change. He means to impose that change on a majority of citizens who don’t want that change to be so drastic. If you think that Executive Branch regulations aren’t enough to get the ball way down the road then you’re not seeing what Bernie can accomplish on his own — and for the next person that follows Bernie to take it further. ... it all began with: look at the imagery of the last image, does it remind anyone of anything? Sanders is the ultimate next guy who the globalists want to implement their 'agenda'. the problem is, they are not sure he is the right guy at the right time, he is too early. he was supposed to be the 'next guy', after the next guy that could bring us just down the road a little further in the plan unveiled under the obamanation. we just need to be pushed a bit further down the socialist road so that we will eagerly accept the full blown ideology when it is adopted. of course, it may be that Trump has so thwarted their plans that they are left with no other alternative than to try and force that change upon us in the current paradigm. damn the torpedoes and deal with the fallout after the fact may be the revised plan to put us back on their planned track. long ago they found that in order for them to implement their globalist desires, they understood that it is going to be much easier to reduce the US to third world status than it would be to raise third world countries to first world status and would take entirely too long to do, if it is even possible. Sanders is their wet dream, don't fall for their rhetoric. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 February 25, 2020 The Rebranding of Socialism as 'Democratic Socialism' By Dave Ball While it may be true that “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Shakespeare) it is also true that socialism by any other name still smells like socialism. As we approach this year’s elections, the purveyors of socialism have tried to rebrand their product by calling it “democratic socialism.” The sales force and marketing department of democratic socialism, the Democratic Party, and the mainstream media, are plying a new fairy tale that democratic socialism is nothing like socialism. No siree, nothing like it, they sing in chorus. The chorus, however, is badly out of tune. Democratic socialism is not the wonderland of inclusiveness, social justice, equality, and happiness it is advertised to be. It will not end human exploitation and it will not save the planet. It is still socialism, just with a new name. Socialism has never worked for any nation and it will not work in this country, even with a new name.

She can tell Bernie where they keep the coffee filters in the West Wing dining room I guess. Can't tell if you are being facetious or not. What experience does Michelle have that would actually qualify her to be president? 10 hours ago, Buffalo_Gal said: Black, female, and I will leave out the obvious transgender joke because I actually think Michelle is very nice looking. She does not dress for her frame or age (either her advisors hate her, or she does not listen to good advice, although her plastic surgeon is top-notch), and that is why she generally looks so terrible. When she dresses for her height and frame, she looks very good. If that is what you are considering as qualifications for president then I nominate Carrie Underwood. She's not only better looking but can also sing. -) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It concerns me too, despite my economic libertarian leanings, but for what I imagine are entirely different reasons. I'm actually not so concerned about billionaires as I am concentration of power by multi-national corporations. What threat do you see in rich CEOs and the like? I'm not concerned about the CEO's Rob. I'm concerned about the people trying to scrape by who may (or may not) be affected by the consolidation of wealth. As I said, I wouldn't want to live in a country that didn't allow citizens to become wealthy, even uber wealthy. But if you look at healthcare outcomes, upward mobility rates, income disparity, etc; something's gotta give. Healthcare alone; we spend TWICE as much as the next country on healthcare and our outcomes are 26th! There's no where to go but up. Let me just ask this question re: CEO's since you're likely referencing the 400/1 figure I cited. At what point is it a problem? If, let's say, the average CEO was making 10,000x that of the average worker, would THAT be a problem?

Bernie Sanders reveals 'major plans' to be funded by new taxes, massive lawsuits, military cuts By Gregg Re | Fox News {snip} He released his plan on his website just minutes after promising to do so during a CNN town hall. However, the fact-sheet highlighted for the first time that many of Sanders' expected cost-saving measures relied on conjecture and best-case scenarios. For example, Sanders' document asserts that a "modest tax on Wall Street speculation ... will raise an estimated $2.4 trillion over ten years" and, in one fell swoop, make all "public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition-free ... and cancel all student debt over the next decade." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bernie-sanders-payments-green-new-deal-medicare-for-all-explanation 10 years? Oh no, if Bernie wins, he won't leave when his 2nd term is over. He'll be our new dictator. Dooooooomed.

If, let's say, the average CEO was making 10,000x that of the average worker, would THAT be a problem? A poor man in the USA today is as wealthy as a rich man 60 years ago. I just spent $300 on a flat screen tv that is much bigger and better than the flat screen I paid $1500 for in 2006. My vehicle is much better than a vehicle that I paid twice as much for 2 decades ago. We have such marvelous inventions such as GPS and smart phones that poor people today all have. With our abundance of natural gas it costs much less to heat my home than it did 15 years ago. I could go on and on but the thing to remember that is most important is that wealth is relative. As far as healthcare goes, remember we here in the USA pay for a vast majority of the world's medical and pharmaceutical research. Generally speaking we don't have long wait periods to see a doctor or rationed care. When you compare our health results to those countries with universal health care you are comparing apples to alligators. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She helped pass that school lunch program thing earlier on with bipartisan support in Congress so she does have some experience when it comes to writing and passing a bill. Other than that, she worked at the University of Chicago as an Associate Dean I believe and had a leadership role at the university's hospital.
