>>69298547
Trump told the crowd that he would pay the legal fees. He actively encouraged violence. That's why Trump has to answer for violence at his rallies.
If a Bernie supporter does violence at a rally it has nothing to do with Bernie. It's all on that guy.
bernie memes are so try-hard
they try to give him a charismatic loveable "tough guy" personality he doesn't have.
So can we all agree that the difference between Clinton and Sanders shills is that Hill shills get paid for their time while Bernie racks up beta bux from "DO IT FOR FREE" tards?

A lot of the ground-level backlash against unions is from jealous workers whose own attempts at pulling fair wages and benefits failed. Get those guys a good deal, and the people who already have a good deal are less threatened.

Actually, the vast majority of studies on it show Americans will pay the exact same on health insurance through taxes. Not only this, the health care plan will generate an additional 14 trillion dollars in debt, but keep shilling if you think it will help you.

We also have the highest quality healthcare. and the studies DO show the same paid through taxes. Considering the average middle class American will spend a total of $152,308.84 between age 21 (average age of career entrance) and 63 (average retirement age) and will spend a total of $184,523.77 in taxes (assuming taxes aren't raised further to pay for the 14 trillion dollar debt increase that comes from his healthcare plan alone) you will spend far more through Bernie for healthcare and ed than you would under Obamacare which raised healthcare costs by AT LEAT 300% for most people. Shill harder for your raw deal, faggot.

Anon didn't say the government was corrupt. He was saying LIBERALS believe that the government is corrupt, yet want to give it more power. Pic related.
Corruption does not exclude representation. The President might be corrupt and sign a pardon for some awful human being because they funded their campaign. But that doesn't mean my congressman, senator, mayor, and governor don't represent me in government.

Reality being the rest of the world? Good job ignoring that. Keep shilling for insurance companies and red baiting.
>>69304198
Everyone agrees the government is corrupt. That's the problem. The solution is to fucking fix that, not say "oh well of course they're corrupt there's nothing you can do about that". We have among the lowest fucking voter turnout in the world. Congress is not at all more willing to pass something that more people would want, that is the definition of no representation.
>>69304289

Why do liberals make up arbitrary definitions of commonly used words in their heads? That's not remotely true, stop framing the world in absolutes. It makes you look like a five year old. You don't care what people want, you care what your people want.
>The solution is to fucking fix that, not say "oh well of course they're corrupt there's nothing you can do about that"
No one said that either, you fucking moron. If you think the government is wholly corrupt, the solution is definitely not giving that corruption more power. How much mental gymnastics do you have to perform to believe that putting power in the hands of corrupt officials would help us?

>>69304846
>JUST IGNORE THE COUNTRIES WHERE IT WORKS
That's exactly what you're doing. You're ignoring everything about the country where it works, as if universal healthcare is this isolated system that can be implemented anywhere at anytime and will only have positive effects.
Again, look at Brazil's healthcare system. Why doesn't it work in Brazil, but works in Norway?
Why could Scandinavian countries afford healthcare, but not Bolivia?
Why does Japan have extremely low violent crime rates compared to Britain, despite practicing nearly identical weapon restriction laws?
Why could Gadaffi's Libya afford to provide newly wed couples a free apartment, but we can't make Social Security solvent?
The Bernies believe that the hard workers will continue to foot the bill, no matter how high taxes are raised. Raising taxes gives a lesser incentive to work harder to earn more.
The union concept is the same:
There is no reward for working harder. However there is a reward for not working as hard.
You Bernie cucks will never understand this.
>>69294906
I already did in my state's primary and I'll vote for him again if he somehow miraculously gets the nomination otherwise I'll probably stay home because Trump, Cruz, and Hillary are all equally terrible imo.

That's what conservatism is, "less government". You think that it is inherently corrupt so you want to get rid of as much as possible. Do you really have to have me go through this? You couldn't get that on your own? You are framing "BIG GOVERNMENT" as not being able to POSSIBLY be representative of the people. The solution is to FIX the government, not just "give it less power". The only one framing the world in absolutes is you, with your absurd thinking that the government MUST be corrupt.

You are getting more hilarious by the second. The US isn't the only country in the world, other countries have the systems that Bernie is proposing, and guess what: they work. It's not a Utopian ideal. You can't ignore them, and brush off them by saying "B-BUT HAPPINESS I-ISN'T OBJECTIVELY GOOD".

If what Sanders wants to accomplish via his Wall Street Tax is discouragement of high frequency trading, why is he allowing it to apply to day traders as well?

>>69307837
>How can you seriously be arguing that happiness is not objectively good?
Have you ever done heroin? Makes you feel really happy. Shooting up heroin is not objectively good.
If an entire population is happy with a system that leads to an economic collapse that ruins billions of lives, that doesn't mean the system is good. A lot of people were happy with the financial market back in 06. Consumer confidence was at an all time high. The real estate industry was worshiped in earlier years for carrying the American economy on its back.

I am saying fix the government by getting corporate interests out and making it represent the people. That's not "GIVING IT SO MUCH MORE POWER".

Do these graphs seriously not mean anything to you?
>>69299161
Bernie's memes are forced and unfunny. They think they can paste some "DUDE REPUBLICANS LMAO" text on a pic of him and that makes it dank.
Trump memes, even if you don't like the guy, you've gotta admit are organically developed and build off each other.
The quote applies to Mr. Sanders and his legion of Bernouts because they are advocating for increased taxation to fund their free shit train. Hence the bit about plunder being a way of life. The cheering crowd is meant the underscore the false send of moral superiority leftists achieve in supporting such policies.
The quote is from a book called The Law and you can read it here.

Why are you pretending as if this is the only political view you hold? We both agree on this. So does Trump. His founding platform was running without being influenced by lobbyist money. But this isn't the only thing I believe in, faggot. Believing that money influences politics =/= THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT TO ITS CORE AND SERVES THE ILLUMINUTTY. QUICK GIVE THEM MORE CONTROL!
Are you in favor of gun control? More regulation? That is giving the government more control over citizens and opportunity for corruption.

The first part of the quote is referring to socialism as a system of legal plunder through means of taxation. The second part refers to the false sense of moral superiority socialists feel and the popularity of demagogues who come around offering to forcibly redistribute wealth.
It applies to Bernie Sanders because he is an avowed socialist and he is advocating higher taxes to fund his free shit train and free shit appeals to stupid and desperate people.

Except for the fact that before running for president, he contributed to nearly every political figure under the Sun. But oh, he says he's against it now, so he's obviously going to do something about it now.

By your own logic, it would be impossible for anyone other than a coporate stooge to get elected regardless of how hard you shill the 'fixer' canidate.

>>69310736
>assuming that businesses will magically cut peoples contracted wages to force the employee to pay for the tax
For what it's worth, the Congressional Budget Office last year said the tax would bring in less revenue — $80 billion instead of $137 billion over the decade — because of lower health spending and changes in the employer-sponsored insurance market. So it indicates some employers will pay the tax and pass the cost onto workers.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/11/20/how-businesses-are-planning-for-obamacares-cadillac-tax/
Most economists now agree that the burden of the corporate income tax falls on labor to some extent, but there is disagreement over the degree. This is important because the political prospects for cutting the statutory corporate tax rate, a goal shared by all tax reformers, may depend on the extent to which it can be shown that workers will benefit.

More likely large companies would make layoffs, resulting in a short term spike in unemployment. They also list entry level positions with lower wages, but they can only lower them so far without losing their ability to be competitive.
If you think that any major business is going to suddenly drop their initial offers by that much and risk losing talent/workforce to businesses that actually account for shifts in operating costs, then you should probably just stick to shitposting on a Maldovan smelting board

>>69311274
>FDR
It never ends.
Let's start with the New Deal. Its various alphabet-soup agencies—the WPA, AAA, NRA and even the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority)—failed to create sustainable jobs. In May 1939, U.S. unemployment still exceeded 20%. European countries, according to a League of Nations survey, averaged only about 12% in 1938. The New Deal, by forcing taxes up and discouraging entrepreneurs from investing, probably did more harm than good.
What about World War II? We need to understand that the near-full employment during the conflict was temporary. Ten million to 12 million soldiers overseas and another 10 million to 15 million people making tanks, bullets and war materiel do not a lasting recovery make. The country essentially traded temporary jobs for a skyrocketing national debt. Many of those jobs had little or no value after the war.
Read the rest of the article to see what the government did after that cripple faggot died to fix the economy. Slash taxes across the board sums it up nicely though.

wo UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
After scrutinizing Roosevelt's record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long years.
In the three years following the implementation of Roosevelt's policies, wages in 11 key industries averaged 25 percent higher than they otherwise would have done, the economists calculate. But unemployment was also 25 percent higher than it should have been, given gains in productivity.
Meanwhile, prices across 19 industries averaged 23 percent above where they should have been, given the state of the economy. With goods and services that much harder for consumers to afford, demand stalled and the gross national product floundered at 27 percent below where it otherwise might have been.
>>69312086
>and yes because he was rich, he had more a voice than the average person. Big deal.

>>69313363
Boogieman? Try harder. Look at the income inequality. Giving tax breaks to the top does not create jobs.The middle class creates jobs.
>why don't you explain how taxing everyone more
Because other countries, and our history have done it for you already? It's not just "increasing taxes", it's universal healthcare which would save the vast majority of Americans thousands. And giving the velocity of money back to the middle class, because, you know, they actually spend their money and put it back into the economy.
>>69313766
Where did I imply that change can ONLY occur from the bottom up? Are you daft? The elites changed it to benefit them because they had the power and influence to, because of a LACK of input via disenfranchisement from the majority.
>>69312661
I don't see how copying the same thing you posted before supports the notion that employers can literally pass the tax itself onto employees as a garnishment on your paycheck. That's not how that works.
This is done indirectly, by offering lower wages to new employees or hiring less people. I think you don't understand what the tax is, or how it works in comparison to an income tax.

>The elites changed it to benefit them because they had the power and influence to
If that is true, then the best way to fix the current problem is to make a few billion dollars in real estate, run for president, don't take any contributions for your campaign, and when you get elected, you could make america great again. Where have I heard that before?

>>69314341
>You are implying that change can only occur from the bottom up
Except I'm fucking not. Where do you see the word "only"? Change can occur from within, and from the bottom up. And obviously the change from within is not going to be sufficient, that's the entire fucking premise of the argument.
>If that is true, then the best way to fix the current problem is to make a few billion dollars in real estate, run for president, don't take any contributions for your campaign, and when you get elected, you could make america great again. Where have I heard that before?
You seem to fucking think the president is a dictator with unlimited power. Go fucking figure. The president isn't the only political entity, there's hundreds. Electing one isn't going to fix problems that those hundreds of political entities don't recognize as a problem. That's the fucking point of me saying that change should occur from the bottom up.
>>69314240
No, you are confusing influence with a single vote. Trump didn't get more votes than you because of his net worth. He used his influence to affect the political system. Anyone with sufficient influence can do this. This exists in any form of government. Name one where individuals can't influence politics outside of literally voting.

taxing can only help so much. US already taxes income highly, they just need to follow through with it and reduce loopholes and deductions.
what really fuels the economy is consumer spending. 2/3 of all economic growth is consumer spending. Once you realize that and digest that statistic it's easy to see how the answer to positive growth in a liberalized economy is almost tautological: if the people spending have more money to spend, the economy does well. that's why it's beneficial to tax the poor less, the rich more, and pay everyone more in general.

The solution is doing what Trump said and withdrawing our military presence in the world, extorting money out of countries that want our protection while requiring allies to spend a minimum percentage of their revenue on defense if they want us to remain allies.

Hello, reddit.
>>69315765
I don't know, but you posted a pretty irrelevant picture.
>They will not be able to succeed, because the power of corporate America, the power of Wall Street, the power of campaign donors, is so great that no president alone can stand up to them. That is the truth. People may be uncomfortable about hearing it, but that is the reality.
And that is why what this campaign is about is saying loudly and clearly. It is not just about electing Bernie Sanders for president, it is about creating a grassroots political movement in this country.
Please, tell me where Obama said this.
>>69315795
Bernie doesn't demonize people. You posting "supporters" isn't going to change that. And no, Bernie supporters aren't the only supporters that protest the most disliked candidate in history.

Why did Bernie vote down the audit the fed bill if wants to take on the banks?
Why did Bernie take donations from corporate donors if he is against corporate America?
Is this your first election?
We have heard this rhetoric time and time again.
We've elected leaders who said basically the same thing and guess what?
NOTHING CHANGED
Bernie is all smoke and mirrors. And you were dumb enough to take the bait.
Well played anon.
>>69314730
I never said anything about bearing the burden, the argument was whether an employer pass a tax directly onto an employee, which they can't. That's the whole issue with the Vox calculator, is that it implies that that's the case, its equating theoretical burden with actual, concrete income tax.
It's okay to be wrong anon, we're all friends here. We're not going to judge you

"When I decided to run," he says, "my calculation was that it was a long shot but that there was a possibility that the skills I had to offer—bringing people together, a track record of pushing against the special interests, a 20-year history of working at a grass-roots level to help working families, pretty well-developed evidence of being straight with people—that that might be what the country needs right now," he says. "And you know for us to have achieved what we've achieved so far is less, I think, a testament to me than it is to the American people and their eagerness for a fundamental shift in how we do business."
A change is necessary in the political system because the system fails to bend to their will. Check.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
We can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

He demonizes people who break the law and wreck the economy?
And the speculation does not nearly affect non-high frequency trades as you seem to believe. It is something like a .5% tax rate. That obviously only has any significant effect on extremely high frequencies.

>>69317357
>It is something like a .5% tax rate. That obviously only has any significant effect
And you don't understand the tax.
Probably because you think it applies to stock profits.
That way you can view it as any other tax, certainly not an undue burden, and the people you don't like (stock traders) should pay it and shut up.
Go ahead, tell me that's not your reasoning.

Soros isn't an international investment banker worth 25 billion? He's MoveON.org and Open Society foundation, the people rioting and infiltrating Trump rallies. Leo J. Hindery and Steven C.

>MYTH: The costs will be passed on to average investors.FACT: A fee of a fraction of a percent would make little difference to a person who intends to hold
onto stocks as a long-term investment. For example, an FTT of 1/20 of a percent would cost investors
buying $10,000 of stock only $5 when they purchase their shares. Also, research shows that most
traders will respond to a tax by reducing the frequency of their trades. This means that by trading less often, they will end up spending roughly the same – or even a lower – total amount on their trades.

But I didn't say average investors, I'm talking about those he wants to screw, day traders.
I'll give you a clue, if you're actually willing to listen.
Bernie's tax is on value, which means anyone who buys or sells stock, even at a loss, pays it.
That means you could lose tons on your stock you sold, and still have to pay more in the form of his tax.
That no other person running a business would accept this arrangement should tell you something:
Bernie is trying to punish ALL traders, and you should be honest enough to admit that.
>>69303145
more like paying thousands more, only to have it disguised within the federal budget. but hey dude, free shit, right?
>>69318081
A PAC is not even remotely the same thing as a Super PAC holy fucking shit.
>>69318402

Another big money donor to Sanders’ campaign is David Geffen, co-founder of DreamWorks Animation and worth a cool $6.9 billion. According to campaign finance records, Geffen donated the max at the time -- $2,500 -- to Sanders Senate campaign on Jan. 27, 2012.

A .5% tax is not "punishing" anyone. It is discouraging high frequency trades. Which make the market volatile. His specific proposal is designed to only effect those trades.And, it's not a punishment, it's a tax. That intends to provide something of benefit society.

The healthcare industry is so expensive right now for us because healthcare is now for profit, saving someone's life is for profit, selling medicine is for profit. Yes, excuse me for not wanting to let a bunch of greedy jews tell me that a simple blood test should cost 400$.
>>69318676
>A .5% tax is not "punishing" anyone
The .5% isn't on the profit. It's on the value of the whole trade.
If I buy for $600 and sell for $400, I not only lose $200, I still have to pay tax on $1,000.
Please detail how this is not punishment?

You are fucking delusional. MoveOn is a completely independent organization that doesn't have anything to do with his campaign.How are you even trying to fucking argue this? And you're saying $2,500 is "big money"? Holy fucking shit you can't be fucking serious. That's the limit for any fucking individual.

You are incredibly fucking dull and clueless and ignorant. His average donation is $27. That's not from big money interests. Again, MoveOn is a completely independent organization that happened to poll its members on who to endorse. He has been fighting special interests and corporate lobbyists for his entire career, and here you are fucking deluding yourself.
>>69319365

Wait, you're serious, aren't you?

ad homs are not an argument. You're intentionally refusing to scrutinize what's going on with his money, and even the indirect support he's receiving or from whom. You're intentionally refusing to look into the leads you're being provided.

Fucking kek. Soros donated 6 millin to Clinton's campaign.

>>69319638
>You're intentionally refusing to scrutinize what's going on

The amount of mental gymnastics is fucking insane. So you're saying the organization created to save a Clinton's ass is funneling money to a Clinton's opponent. Fucking lol. Just because you're a billionaire doesn't mean you can't support Bernie. Bernie's average donation isn't >$2,500, it's in fact less than $30. But keep acting like he's powered by big money interests, it's fucking hilarious. You are seriously acting like if you are wealthy you MUST not support Sanders for some strange reason.
>>69320206
Microsoft employs people. They make a lot of money. They are allowed to contribute $2,700 to any political campaign.

All right, you don't have to believe me, you don't even have to respond but I'll say this to you anyway.
Soros had a man hand me a check for 2400$ to pepperspray some trump supporters in the eyes at a Trump rally. I got like 4 white guys and ran away behind some Bernie bros. Then they got into a fight and the whole thing just escalated from there. I feel like shit because I know a lot of people got their faces kicked in, but hey, that was the easiest 24k of my life.
