"Poor" doesn't just mean "unemployed."

You have access to his father's income statements? Post them here.

The point is, he's more conversant with the everyday impact of low wages on families than any of the other candidates. If elected, he could surround himself with as many economists as the fancy Ivy League colleges can churn out in order to deal with the lofty intellectual stuff, but when it comes to sleeping on the fold-out sofa because your parents can't afford a bigger apartment, he doesn't need instruction.

Bernie is a moron. If you raised taxes on the rich to 99% it would have just barely covered Obama's billion dollar deficit leaving nothing for the pie in the sky spending Bernie is proposing. Now considering that raising taxes to 99% on the rich would most certainly destroy the economy altogether well there you have it, Bernie is a moron.

You're come back is ignorant.

So now you must prove he was actually poor, with personal facts about his youth.

He will not hire economist b/c no socialist understands any economy what so ever, if they did, they wouldn't be socialist.

“In this country we going to make profound economic changes,” he said. “The people on top will not continue to accumulate billions of dollars in personal wealth while children in Baltimore and inner cities in this country go hungry, and have inadequate healthcare and education.”

It’s that comment about education that really grates. For Baltimore spends rather a lot on the education of the children of the city:

Wallace said that Baltimore ranks third in per capita school spending.

That’s only true if you look at the 100 largest school districts. Among the top 500, Baltimore ranks 20th. Among school districts with at least 5,000 students, Baltimore ranks 160th in spending.

Leave aside the rank for a moment and look at the actual sum: $15,000 and change per pupil per year. That is, Baltimore spends more per pupil than the GDP per capita of those countries mentioned, South Africa, Nigeria, India, China and the West Bank (and, obviously, North Korea). There really is therefore a large difference between this Sanders claim of equal poverty to those places and the reality. It simply is not true at all that Baltimore is as poor as those places.

It's also the $15 an hour min wage. In a state like California or New York, good. It makes sense.
But in Mississippi and Alabama, it will destroy the bit of economy Republican policies haven't already trashed. You can't be president and deal in absolutes. Like Bush did.

Any form of socialism will ultimately destroy any economy...

I am getting sick and tired of Bernie and the Bernie Burnouts referring to welfare as "low income." Free stuff is not earned income.
