Bernie the Commie would destroy the middle class and turn the U.S. into Weimar Germany. The fact that he's getting any votes at all shows how far this country has fallen.

Dont just spew your idiocy without proof, Correlate Sanders with communism. Go!

Bernie Sanders:
Bernie Sanders is not just a socialist, he's a Communist. He and his supporters are subversives and traitors.

Sanders had a USSR flag in his Vermont office for years. He is a communist. But for the love of god, don't tell his fanbase that

Because we are broke and he'll make us broker.

How is ridding congress of the vipers gonna make the middle class poorer?
[–] aboutime 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
The middle class is where the most tax revenue can be generated. Sanders plans to raise taxes for his giveaways will have to come from them eventually when the rich leave (like the 60's exodus from the UK tax scheme) and the tax on wall st. transactions peters out. That will either crucify the middle class or we will default on our debt, sooner than later. Which vipers in congress does he want to get rid of? How will that change his plan?
[–] brother_tempus 3 points 1 point 4 points (+4|-3) ago
because his policies will hurt the middle class, not help them .. along with hurting the economy and will not stop any more wasteful wars

Did you watch the clip at all? You have the gall to say that the other candidates are more passionate about the middle class? Are you retarded?

fanbois clip < Sander's stated 12 point policy of fail

Socialists aren't popular for a great reason! He won NH but we will see how he does in states with black people in them

Well look around you. Your options for the candidates are Sanders, or the fucktards that just wanna propagate cronycapitalism further!
[–] Rummel 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I'll pick the cronies over a socialist any day, if those are my only options. Capitalism at its worst is still better than socialism at its best.
[–] BoiseNTheHood 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
Crony capitalism is an oxymoron. Where there is cronyism, there is government planning in the economy, or in other words, socialism.
[–] brother_tempus 2 points 0 points 2 points (+2|-2) ago
Sanders polices change nothing other than introduce new cronies that promote his corporatist ( healthcare, education, green energy, domestic entitlements , etc .. )
