Clinton Campaign Accuses Sanders of Trying to Win Nomination
 
Clinton Campaign Accuses Sanders of Trying to Win Nomination - The New Yorker

Is that true? I haven't been following politics for very long. Sanders was allowed to run as long as it was understood he shouldn't try very hard. It's a done deal.

It is funny. Kind of like TV wrestling where one wrestler goes off script and tries to win when he was supposed to lose. I bet that is exactly how the Dems are doing it.

Heck its not! If we take all the money from the hardworking rich people (even those ******** that inherited family wealth!) and give it to the poor, we will all be rich! Bernie might not be worth much financially (300K?), might not have done much in the 20 something years he has been in congress, but he is definitely ready to fix the inequalities with regard to rich and poor and run this country into the ground...LOL

Bernie Sanders on Economic Inequality

YES, when a serial under performer in life, that has absolutely no personal wealth to show (for his age, education, or service) wants to take from the rich and give it to the poor, it does remind me of a Robin Hood adventure.

You might be ready to just throw the towel in (or have already) and just join the crowd of takers...but if we are all takers how is that going to work out? If we all end up with the same no matter what effort or sacrifice we put forward in life; why would I (or anyone else!) want to work? So they can be punished financially if they did better than "Poor Steve" or "Poor John" (like "Poor" was on their birth certificate, LOL)? I know there will be no incentive for me to do anything other than lay on my ass watching TV in the provided housing, while keeping up with my social media on my Obamma phone!

Have you seen the gap between yourself the the wealthy. Did they work a million times harder than you?
There money makes money so they don't need to work and for all times their descendants won't need to work. It will be an ologothy soon. In 30 years the top of the Forbes list will be inherited money. Any problem with that?

NO problem with that. In fact, I applaud it!
WTF are they supposed to leave their hard earned money to some loser smoking crack in an alley and not their family? Did you ride the short bus as a kid?

I work hard for what I have in life, have made personal sacrifices along the way. I have not made millions and maybe I made some mistakes that prevented me from making millions, that is on me. If I support them punishing someone else that made more than me, when they get done with him - I will be next!

So you are more comfortable looking out for the welfare of the billionaires children and grandchildren than your own? And that's because they worked harder, are smarter and just plain luckier than you? And you don't think you have been brainwashed?

By the way, you will not be next. You don't really understand the size of the gap, do you?

Yes, I am more comfortable with them keeping their wealth and passing it on to whoever they want, it is their money after all.

It is you that has the brain washed problem. You are jealous of their wealth and you want to punish them by taking the wealth away from them and giving it to others that have done **** in their lives. That is ****ed up, the wealthy did nothing wrong, why are you taking their money from them? The wealthy person's kids and grandchildren did nothing wrong either and yet you want to grab the money away from them, so you can give it to some low life piece of ****, or maybe you feel it would be better if that money went to your kids and grandchildren? Maybe you did not work hard and smart, possibly you spent to much time cheating on your spouse or drinking with your buddies, but you feel you should have the same amount of wealth as everyone else that was not a screw up!

Whats next, we should all have the same vehicles as the wealthy, the same houses as the wealthy, maybe the same good looking spouse too?

Your making an assumption with regard to my understanding of the size of the gap, as that gap is not the same size for all of us on here.

LOL, I see...you want the same cash or it is an injustice to you.
Not too surprised to hear you are near broke. Stop whining over spilt milk, you can't change who you are with someone else's money. Possibly your parents refer to you as "Poor (insert your first name)".

The Sanders plan will help out our grandchildren. Does this bothers you?

I got mine the same easy way you got yours with an opportunity to go to college and chance to be in the middle class. You think his plan puts money in some minorities pocket that you hate, don't you?

You hate that more than you love your grandchildren.

Hate? Seriously? Why not just call me a racist, bigot, etc.? It seems that you liberals love to arbitrarily attach labels to anyone that doesn't share your idyllic view of the world...pretty pathetic really.

So, now you know what I think? Well, this is what I think, those that truly want to get ahead in life find a way. I never expected anyone to give me anything that I didn't earn, and I don't envy those that have been more successful, nor do I expect them to share the fruits of their labor with me.

I have spend much of my life living abroad and hold dual citizenship, U.S. and German. First hand experience living abroad and in the U.S. has proven to me that capitalism benefits far more people than socialism. But, then again in a free market economy you actually have to be productive if you want to achieve anything in life. Does the word productive scare you?

Have you ever lived in a socialist country? I like to hear about your experiences.

I just want what's best for my grandchildren, nothing more. I don't care who has more than me. I got free golf, a beautiful place to live and friends. I don't need anything else.

I just want my grandchildren to have the same opportunities I had. I can't afford to hire lobbyists to keep me rich so they can inherit it. All I have is a vote. And if I knew more about politics I'd probably find out that's worthless.

Why would they not have the same opportunities that you have had? What has changed? My children and grandchildren are well on their way to being successful. In fact they are likely to do better than my upper middle class income and lifestyle.

Do you really believe that an economy where the government controls the means of production and distribution (i.e., socialism) is the answer. Spend some time in a socialist country (not just a vacation) and you just might have a different attitude toward socialism.

I can't go on vacations much less move there. I don;t have that kind of money or time. I read about the top 10 socialists countries starting with Finland. Forgetting the climate it sounds like a nice, safe middle class place to live.

Guest 04-13-2016 04:07 AM

Let's face the truth, this nation is sick because the sickies have gained control forcing their madness on us all. To the young and uninitiated its normal. Sickies latest are to celebrate A Day Of Silence in school across the nation to honor the LGBT community. Psychiatrist sickies are now promoting pedophiles as just normal people and with a little help adjust their desire for children to a desire only for adults. Is it any wonder these same medical people struck homosexuality from the DSM?

Our politicians are mostly sickies greedy immoral people taking money from whomever wants a favor.

Hollywood unquestionably is the modern day Sodom and has a great influence over the young

It explains why Hillary, Sanders, Trump Cruz and Kaisch continue in their bid. Who in their right mind would ever vote for any of these people

Obama continues to deconstruct America with no interference from political opponents or the press

The Supreme Court is a joke and ignores law in favor of politics. so since it does not do what it was created to do its now useless

There it is, the reason you want the successful wealthy guys money; your a "bustout". Wasted all that help "by the labor of your elders" didn't you!

You are brainwashed into believing your grandchildren will have no future unless we take the wealthy guys money and send our grandchildren to college with it...I bet none of the colleges have a problem with that notion, but why don't you ask the 30 year olds working retail and restaurants around here if they have a college education (I bet more of them do than not, and there was no jobs in their field when they got the degree). You don't have to go to college to have a good life and good income. I believe there is quite a bit of money to be made in the service industry (somebody is going to be paid to fix what ever the doctor needs to be fixed), but you got to be motivated at whatever it is you do (aspire to be more than the person working next to you). That might be hard for your kids and grandchildren, as they say; the apple does not fall too far from the tree. I guess that can be illustrated with the other poster that is not in favor of socialistic ideas, as he pointed out his kids and grandchildren are on the road to success, and you the "bustout" has to vote for free money for yours. So, GET A JOB LOSER!

The rest of us better STOCK UP ON AMMO!
