    There are many many things that I do not agree with Bernie on and I am not a supporter but I am glad that he is running for president.

    Viewing that through the lens of political theater that was an excellent ad.

    dviss! Wake up!!!!

    If this man got his way, it would turn this entire country into and unemployed zone. Who the hell is going to take risks, work their asses off creating jobs and pay the sort of taxes this fellow says he wants?

    No one with a whole or even half a brain would do this!!!!

    The income tax was passed about 100 years ago, starting out at 1% up to 7%. Democrats salivated over this revenue bonanza, take advantage of every crisis to raise the tax, reaching the confiscatory rate of 92% during WWII. It was only possible then, because people knew we were in a fight for life, work was survival. And then there was the not so small matter of creating empires. Government created industries need to fight the war, where private parties owned these new industries. Like Kaiser shipyards and Jeep, Aluminum companies along the Columbia, and many more. These guy had a good deal paying 92% tax on earnings when they receive ownership of government created industries.

    Those day are gone (I hope), and no one is going to work and give Bernie their earnings! They either will not do it, or they will do it somewhere else. Simple as that!

    If you want the labor participation rate to climb higher that it's current all time high, vote for Bernie. You will deserve the results that are predictable. You probably will not be able to correct it for several generations.

    I find it fascinating how we all can see the same thing and take such differing mean from the same stimuli. See your post praising the message as excellent! I see brain wash in action!
    The only thing I could agree with was the cry, The Kingdom of God is in the hearts of all men. It is, I wish him well on selling this truth.

    If everyone thinks exactly the way do you your opinions count for nothing. The beliefs and opinions that are different than yours is what give yours meaning.

    Paid for by some rich Republican. I got through a minute of it, but it's 13 minutes long. 12 more minutes of the actor yelling in his fake accent, I just couldn't take.
