Under Sanders, income and jobs would soar, economist says

I'm a grown man. I don't do "saviors". I belong to the church of "me". The idea of a savior is a wingnut concept. Ask your boy Cruz how he feels about saviors.

How much has Obama helped the black and poor in this country over his 2 terms? He promised hope and change. He seems to have lied to y'all....

And all of this despite an idiot obstructionist republican congress that's said "no" EVERY SINGLE CHANCE THEY GOT. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Don't go stupid because you are found to be wrong. The Obama admin put forward all those changes idiot. His signature is signed on every bill

 

[schuylaar]

Both sides give tax reductions to businesses and the wealthy.

You are only mad when one side does it.

I am in favor of a flat sales tax. No reductions to business or the wealthy. No more having to prove to the government what you make and what you spend.

oh you don't have to prove what you make anymore to the government..it automatically gets reported..ever take a look at your IRS file available to you online?

What a bunch of unsubstantiated bullshit. "People's View", citations from Obama's website...are you kidding me? That's like believing Obama's stats on the unemployment rate when in reality it's 3 times higher because people have given up looking & aren't counted any more, aren't being documented.

The recession still reverberates in various parts of the U.S., falling deeper into debt and leaving millions of Americans wondering whether the recession has indeed blown over. Since 2008, a total of 14 municipalities, including Detroit, have declared the rare Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

The middle class never climbed out of the recession. I don't think we're heading for a deeper recession....it's happening right now with the exception of Texas which is experiencing a boon, much of it being credited to the pro-businesses policies of Governors like Rick Perry and Abbott.

Obama didn't build that. None of those property redistribution plans / policies came about thru charity.

Government "charity" (eye roll) is an oxymoron.

Yep. Ever noticed that the "poor" are those sucking on the govt. teat? It's hypocrites like Hillary & Obama I can't stand. They could care less about blacks (except when it's election time) or the poor with the exception of promising stuff to get votes.

Look at the OP. They're falling for Sander's free this and that? Fools!

The warfare / welfare state throws bread into the crowd for the poor to keep them dumbed down and delivers cake to their military industrial complex / corporate cronies to keep them fat.

The system is designed to protect itself at all costs. It exists to redistribute wealth and sometimes must passify the peasants. The passification process can be done by giving them bread and occaisonally bits of shiny metal and ribbons and calling them heroes when they obediently die in foreign lands while doing masters bidding.




Bernie is a distraction, he sometimes identify's problems, but falls short on solutions...he's an economic imbecile and hypocrite too. After he loses to Hillary, most of his supporters will fall obediently in line and vote for Hillary, because they are obedient and easily manipulated, like good little sheep.

Government can't "give" anybody anything that they didn't take from somebody else...AND...it's always taken under threat of force.

Yes but who gets to pay the bill is the question that never gets answered.

[thebonzaseedbank]

Yes but who gets to pay the bill is the question that never gets answered.

No matter republican or democrat, conserative or liberal, the people are going to pay for it. Just be honest with us but they never will.

 

[Rob Roy]

No matter republican or democrat, conserative or liberal, the people are going to pay for it. Just be honest with us but they never will.

Government is systemically dishonest and fraudulent unless all the people in it gave their individual express consent to be part of it.

That hasn't happened, thus...government is systemically dishonest and fraudulent, since it relies on involuntary capture of the individual people it purports to serve.

 

[schuylaar]

everyone does pay taxes.

noooooooooooo..not everyone.
