He panders to the minority...

His campaign is clearly about the income inequality between the 99% and the 1%. He's pandering to the majority. Unless you mean minorities as in black / hispanic people. I agree with that, but the only politician to not pander to visual minorities in recent years is Trump.

If his form of socialism - addressing income inequality to the 99% - is the most dangerous, then what about the inverse? Other politicians are campaigning to offer more to the rich, who are screaming louder for more entitlements every day with lobbyists that the 99% can't afford / coordinate.

His idea of a utopia means hell for every hard working people out there trying to make ends meet.

I would argue that our current system is hell for 99% of hard working people trying to make ends meet.

To look at the situation as a 1% vs 99% is wrong. I don't care how rich the 1% is. I do care that lazy minorities, blacks (mostly), live off the tax dollars of americans who bust their ass day in and day out.

When you look at different numbers like top 10% pay for almost 50% of americas tax revenue and the fact that the top 50% pay for almost 90%, we have a lot of lazy fucks in this country not pulling their weight. Some 30% of our national budget goes to pay for social programs.

So to ask 50% of america whose flipping the bill for every lazy fuck out there, to pay more, just to give more to the lazy fucks, is insane. Cause it sure won't be the lazy fucks living off the back of the hard working that will be hurting under Bernie's programs.

I don't like entitlements for the wealthy either, but at least they create and provide jobs. The Koch brothers for all the crap they put up with, provide jobs for 100,000 people. The market gets something for giving entitlements to the rich. You give money to the poor and it does no one good and I've not seen anyone any welfare recipient thats created any jobs. So given the choice I'd prefer giving entitlements to the rich.

Programs like ACA hasn't done shit for hard working people but make their health care costs go up, but the lazy fucks and fat fucks who shouldn't be insured, are getting a free ride. If Bernie gets elected, whats going to happen is his administration will grossly underestimate what they can do and what the program will cost but now he has a promise to fulfill to all the blacks in this country that voted for him so he will raise taxes more just to keep his promise to people who don't pay taxes to begin with and their major contribution to society is crime.

Thats the danger of letting people who don't pay taxes vote, they vote for a pandering moron like Bernie who will do more for people who don't pull their weight than the people doing their part.
