    What are the working hours? I don't quite get that either. When there is work to do? When you know what to do? When you have energy to do?
    Or when someone tell you to?

    51% is majority. #KnowYourMath

    This has been a major concern in America for decades and neither party has really done anything to stop the influx of mass illegal immigration. This is why Trump resonates with many Americans. Many of them know he will actually fight hard to make sure illegal immigration is under control because lobbyist and special interest groups are not controlling him. Sanders is another one that resonates with America, but he has no better chance than a snow ball in hell to win the primaries. Hilary is this election's golden goose for the democrats.

    Wealth redistribution is another name of "profit caps"

    You are penalizing those that make profits, then giving it to those that didn't earn it. It's promoting "entitlement" off the backs of those that earn their wage.

    Correct. Only rich dilettantes like you two, who don't work as hard as the vast majority, the Democrats.

    Do you mean they are thinking like employees? Employees that want a protector? All of them? Are there none that can see themselves running free under their own power?

    If you tax the upper 1% by 90%, then that is absolutely a cap on profits. When you support raising more on corporate taxes, that's another cap on profits. When you eliminate corporate subsidies, you are capping their profits. Bernie Sanders is using emotional verbiage to dodge the real wording here. He can't outright say "cap corporate profits" because that's a "bad word".

    Aw bull Mags. You could explain how all this works and how is a huge damper on effort to work for the employers. But hell, educated people should already know these things. Sanders is simply pandering for the vote. He doesn't give a shit whether anything works but he does know that the people that will vote for him don't know either.

    It's pretty hilarious because throughout my life, I've put in 4-5 years of not being paid even min wage (had to pay employees and vendors first) and working long hours 8am-8pm to get my business off the ground. I had no health insurance, or subsidies. I actually had to do a lot of shit for free to get my business off the ground.

    With that hard work, I became successful and now I'm considered lazy because I post in here? I could give a shit less of what anyone thinks of me because I paid my dues.

    And here's the funny thing.... The big money corporations can afford to move outta country, avoiding tax, piggy backing the free trade agreements the US put in action, while having their corporations in countries that limit corporate tax. The people hurt are the middle class that can't afford to do this. They are the true victims here.
