Bernie Sanders Made $1 Million In 2016 Selling Socialism To College Kids

[Bleipriester]

Why can´t he sell something?

Are you playing stupid or does it come naturally?

Do you think authors in socialism live from socialism alone? They need money, too.

Isn't that what the state exists for? To give us money. It is what the Bernster believes.

Learn what socialism actually is.

I know what it is. I've probably forgotten more about Socialism than you'll ever know. Go peddle your ignorance elsewhere.

No, you have probably not the slightest clue.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Totally usual that publishers pay in advance, if the author is expected to sell. Why are you crying and whining?

Why is he selling anything? That $1M should be distributed to the poor.

/---- Socialists are stingy. They want to give away other people's money.

-- Not to be confused with the capitalists who want to keep other people's money...?

/----- Other people voluntarily give their money to capitalist when they buy a house, car, use a credit card. They get something in return. Socialists confiscate other people's money against their will and the only thing you get in return is spit in the face by the ingrates. Being a Socialist tool like yourself, I thought you'd already understand the difference.

LOL

And them we'd have a health care system comparable to Venezuela or Cuba

So do you just assume successful socialist healthcare systems in nations like Norway or Denmark are failures because you like to cherry pick systems like Venezuela? You are profoundly ignorant

Danish PM tells Bernie to stick it where the sun don't shine: Denmark is NOT a Socialist nation.

Danish PM in US: Denmark is not socialist

And neither is Bernie Sanders. And neither does your link make that claim. Lying fucktard.

Sanders is, and has always labeled himself a "Democratic Socialist". I know that's inconvenient to your partisan hackery fantasy so you have to lie it away but that's what it is, and that's always been what it is. Your own link doesn't describe the Danish PM mentioning Sanders at all. You completely pulled it out of your ass.

Bernie Sanders is a confirmed--(dyed in the wool socialist)--& that's why this country would have never elected him. This country is center that leans a little to the right--and the majority of this country get a foul taste in their mouths when it comes to socialism.

Socialism is always democratic and not communism. Since at least the fifties, everywhere but USA dupeworld. ""We're all socialists now" Finland PM when ACA passed. That guy must earn over 250k. No Dem would sock the middle class again.

Democrats don't refer to themselves as a Democrat "Socialist"--not unless they want to scare the hell out of everyone. Look--you got screwed over by a politician that was promising very unrealistic things that had zero to no chance of passing in a Republican or a Democrat congress. I can't think of one single campaign promise of Bernie Sanders that would have ever come to fruition.

Free College education was about as realistic as a 1000 mile wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Breaking up the BIG BANKS was the biggest lie I have ever seen any candidate campaign on. Sanders knew dam good and well that the Federal Government has no authority over Federal Reserve Banks.
Bernie Sanders Can't Explain How He'd Break up the Banks

You got screwed over--learn from this lesson and move on--and don't ever again look at Presidential candidates, or any candidate for that matter, without being very skeptical of wild campaign promises--(before you break out your checkbooks and or vote for them.)

Hillary Clinton was the only one that was campaigning on issues that she knew she had an opportunity of getting done, and she was very honest about what she knew couldn't be done. You didn't listen.

Free college is unrealistic? It's happening in New York one of the largest states in the US.

Breaking up the big banks? That's not really what he wanted... but what he wanted is a lot better than Trump who is working to dismantle Dodd-Frank.

Was passing laws against off-shore tax shelters unrealistic? No.

Give me a break--BREAKING UP THE BIG BANKS aka Wall Street Bankers was Sanders main campaign platform. We already have regulations on off shore banking. You people have got to get a clue here--that Main Street keeps it's money on Wall Street and you're not going to get near it.

Bernie Sanders Can't Explain How He'd Break up the Banks

BULLSHIT. There is no rules forcing people to pay taxes on off shore tax shelters. The U.S. has offered many times to give tax breaks to those with these types of accounts if they paid off what they owe on it. And they never do... because the U.S. has no punishment in place to force people to do it.

Can you read? This is directly from the IRS> This issue also came up in 2012 with Mitt Romney. The Presidential retirement is held in an off-shore bank account and many people use them more for security reasons than anything else--because they don't want beneficiary's (children--grandchildren's names) leaked due to risk. But American citizens are REQUIRED to pay American taxes on off shore banking accounts.

U.S. citizens, resident aliens and certain nonresident aliens are required to report worldwide income from all sources including foreign accounts and pay taxes on income from those accounts at their individual rates.

"There are many legitimate reasons for holding offshore accounts, including convenience, investing and to facilitate international transactions. By law, U.S. taxpayers are not permitted to use offshore accounts, such as foreign bank and securities accounts as well as trusts, to avoid paying tax.

In most cases, affected taxpayers need to fill out and attach Schedule B to their tax returns. Part III of Schedule B asks about the existence of foreign accounts and usually requires U.S. citizens to report the country in which each account is located. Certain taxpayers may also have to fill out and attach to their return Form 8938, Statement of Foreign Financial Assets, if the aggregate value of those assets exceeds certain thresholds that vary depending on filing status and whether the taxpayer lives abroad. Additional filing requirements apply to those with foreign trusts.

Separately, taxpayers with foreign accounts whose aggregate value exceeds $10,000 any time during the year must file a Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) electronically through FinCEN’s BSA E-Filing System. The FBAR is not filed with a federal tax return and must be filed by June 30 each year."

They aren't FORCED to do it. And it isn't JUST about individuals. It's about companies that don't pay taxes on profits overseas. Do you have any clue how much money those corporations owe the U.S. in taxes? This is from 2016. And Sanders wants to eliminate this and FORCE them to pay up, not just make them offers to pay it at a reduced percentage.

Correct. Mostly.
You don't always have to be a Democrat to vote in the Democratic Party primary, so not necessarily "Democratic Party voters".

At the risk of drawing flies like Special Ed in here, the words "democratic" and "republican" are available to anyone who chooses to use them in an organizational name. When so chosen they become capitalized, at least in English. Nothing in that process means that, say, the National Republican Party had anything to do with the current Republican Party, or that Jefferson's "Democratic Republicans" had anything to do with either contemporary group.

The dishonest poster above was attempting to conflate "democratic socialist" with "Democratic Party" out of wilful ignorance or out of dishonesty, or both. The first is a philosophy, the second is a political party.

Having denounced the appeasement of the Nazis in the 1930s Blum was imprisoned by its puppet Vichy government. The Nazis ordered his execution at Dachau in 1945 but it was not carried out.

So thanks for at least identifying what democratic socialism is not. Baby steps.

Democrats don't refer to themselves as a Democrat "Socialist"--not unless they want to scare the hell out of everyone. <snip>

Oh fuck you Ignoramus. I just said "Democratic Socialist", which as you damn well know has zero to do with "the Democratic Party". And you're such a dishonest fucking hack that you edited my words and take the point somewhere it never was. I can only conclude that you're not only grossly dishonest but flatly illiterate. Ram it back up your ass where it came from, moron.

And STILL unable to cite this "210 million raised from the Democratic Party" and STILL unable to cite these posts of mine on anybody's speaking fees. You're fucking retarded.

Now they invent new terms in order to attempt to distance themselves from the countless failures of socialism.

Yeah, brand "new". Only goes back to the nineteenth century.

James Keir Hardie was an early democratic socialist,
who founded the Independent Labour Party in Great Britain (1893)

You too can Wiki

National Socialist German Workers' Party.

What's the acronym for that?

NSDAP.
Dafuk's that got to do with anything, Godwin?

Now watch me tie these two disparate loose ends into a crossroads:

Léon Blum (1872-1950) three-time Prime Minister of France --

The socialist Hitler was elected by the people of Germany, dufus.

Hitler was never a "socialist", Dumbass. He joined up with a party that already had that then-trendy term in its title, a term to which he objected but went along with for its marketing 'hook'.

--- unless you're actually going to sit on the internet and suggest that Adolf Hitler was this honest boy-scout type who would NEVER engage in something as disingenuous as propaganda.

-- which also means you're naïve enough to think the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", the "German Democratic Republic" and the "Democratic Republic of Congo" have and had something to do with "democracy"

--- in which case you're actually stupid enough to believe that all three of these countries must therefore have been founded by the Democratic Party ...... because hey, it's in the name, and the name is the thing, right?

Guess how many grapes, how many nuts ---- win a prize

Funny how everyone who praises the glories of socialism do not live in a socialist nation, and those that do live in surviving socialist nations wish to flee to America.

Who are these people who live in socialist countries who want to flee to America? They're not from the places where socialism is done right like Canada and Europe.
