EXCUSE ME?!..The OFFICIAL Bernie Sanders For President 2016 Thread

[Red1966]

1% has stollen 99% of the economic gains since 2010

So to little Ben, a better AOL meme would be:

"If you have a #GOPsupporter at your #Thanksgiving table, steal their plate as soon as they fix it and eat about 99% of it!"

And who held the Senate, the House and the Presidency in 2010?

 

[Red1966]

How do you explain the fact that 99% of the economic gains - provided by the increase in productivity of the 99% - have gone to 1% of the population since 2010?

Since '79, the top 1%'s income has skyrocketed while the 99%'s has stagnated. How do you explain this?

The value of labor/hr hasn't changed, but the value of leveraging that labor into higher productivity has. The "99%" hasn't increased their effort, but leveraging their effort through the use of technology (financed by those economic gains) has produced those gains. I note you are trying to conflate "economic gains", which could be nearly all new buildings, machinery, crops, and other means of production, to personal income. A subtle obfuscation of the facts.

CORRUPTION. The money bought the power. History tells us that revolt is next, but we have this relatively new option called the democratic process. IF we don't screw it up too much, it will lead us back to serving most of the people most of the time.

Democracy isn't new. Every democracy has failed within 250 years. Your optimism is unfounded.

You keep moving back to this point..2010.

Just how long was that period exactly in which he had time to effect change? 6 months? He did plenty..if you're unsure..post dates in question and I'll post his milestones and legacies.

Like it has now, because there's always someone looking to game the system..who would that be?

 

[Red1966]

And hospital chain CEOs. And pharmaceutical company CEOs... and then we move to finance, where the REAL money gets stolen.

So how is it that your heroes have not changed this while accepting millions in campaign funds from these scoundrels?

I dunno, Bernie Sanders? Hilary Clinton? You?

Wow, I would like to try some of your smoke.

I didn't bring up 2010, he did. At least a year, in which he had majorities in both the House and the Senate. He did plenty? Let's see, my sister's Obamacare wouldn't pay a single one of her medical bills, not a single one or any portion of one. Iraq has fallen into the hands of ISIS, Russia has begun a new campaign of global dominance, radical Islam has grown more powerful and acquired a homeland, too many to list here. Just because you can get a free PAP smear now doesn't imply good leadership.

Quit sucking up

Regarding your pool service biz..that's what we feel too..keep in mind you are not 'them'..you are 'us'..

Getting a wee bit divisive like the Liar-In-Chief, eh? Why are you liberals so divisive, so full of this control thing?

 

[schuylaar]

And the government didnt pay for it... Your point? Oh wait, it is you. NM ;]

You missed the point..

'WE' built that..stop with the 'me v. government' mindset.

You were successful..keep a big chunk, but make no mistake..on the roads we built..policing we paid for..get it?

Aren't you constantly bragging about you getting a free ride? Stop with the "We" bit. You didn't do shit.

It was a childish remark, my apologizes.

I don't want what you are smoking.
