Bernie needs to have some specifics here. Okay, it's not 90%. What is it? 50% 60% Everything he claims to want to do is based on this, yet he has absolutely no idea how much the tax rate needs to be. This is his issue. He needs toe facts at his disposal.

Glad he got the socialism thing out there again. /s
 
Can anyone explain what different it makes if you call it islamic extremism or whatever the fuck else word you use? How does that change the actions we have to take?

What in the fuck is the point.
 
Why did Bernie called himself a socialist? Such an idiotic decision.

Because his tax plan and education plans are Socialist philosophy.

He IS a Socialist. What needs to be done is that we desensitize that word because we need a Socialist economic structure to maintain this country's middle class, the healthcare system and Social Security.

Question:

Can Bernie really raise the taxes on the super rich just by becoming President? Yes. I'm a newbie. Please explain.

Nope -- Most if not all of the things the presidential candidates on both sides say they want to do cannot be done without congress.

The exception to this is war stuff. Presidents have broad powers to do the hell they want with the military, and this is partly enabled by congress being complicit in this. Easier for them politically to be less involved.

Does he, though? He can't set the tax rate anyway as president.

oh shit Facts and Evidence being deployed

now he's doubling down on his Verifiable Facts!!

feels nice to have a civil debate
 

boiled goose

good with gravy
There are intelligent ways to describe your policy than say im a capitalist or socialist. That is reductionist. Bad move by Sanders.

He should say he supports some socialist stances and some capitalist stances and detail them. Then say he is against crony capitalism.
