Bernie Sanders supporters are broke

[thereisnospoon]

he is supported by common folk.

Yeah. And?

Are you above the common American?

I suppose you may as well alienate them, too. You've already lost the black, Latino, young, and LGBT vote.

How can one lose what they never had?.....
I did not know the so called transgender( lets stop lumping these weirdo guys who like to dress in women's underwear in with gays) niche made up a significant voting bloc?
And who the hell are you to assume that every member of these politically correct classes must vote in lockstep for democrats? are you implying that these people cannot think for themselves?

 

[thereisnospoon]

And that's why wages are stagnant. Right to work means right to work for less. I know a lot of business owners who support Bernie. Imagine that.

The last labor report has ages up 2.5% in 2015.....
I find it amusing how you people use information to serve your own political purposes.
You bitch whine and complain about the alleged downtrodden middle class. Then you cheer lead the low unemployment rate. Then when convenient you target the alleged stagnant wages using statistics that tell only a very small part of the story.
Best U.S. wage growth in 6 years
You cannot have it both ways..
Right to work means precisely that.
It means that no one can be compelled to become a member of a labor collective in order to procure and maintain employment.
One by one, states at the behest of their citizens are asking their respective state's legislatures to abolish rules that included protections for labor unions in the labor marketplace. 25 sates are now right to work.
Left wingers, in bed with labor collectives cannot stand it that people in half the states have the freedom to choose whether or not they can join a collective or not join....

And there are people who work hard and make good decisions who are still broke. They are the majority...sadly. What you did is simply prove there is NO such thing as the american dream. Thank you.

Actually, they are NOT the majority....In any even there are lots of people who make a very good living that are struggling financially due to their inability or their unwillingness to manage their finances properly. They live beyond their means. They save nothing because they fulfill their wants.
If a poor couple who were both working were selected for a one time $100,000 tax free check. No strings......There is high likelihood the couple would be back to where they were or even worse within a year.
The fact is many people have no money because they cannot resist making poor decisions.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

That's why they want Bernie, he will work to give them stuff.

More.....

The numbers were stunning. To implement single-payer, the analysis showed, it would cost $4.3 billion in 2017, with Vermont taxpayers picking up $2.6 billion and the federal government covering the rest. To put the figures into perspective, Vermont’s entire fiscal 2015 budget, including both state and federal funds, is about $4.9 billion.

The last estimated pop of Vermont is 626,000. there are 258,000 households in Vermont. According to realtor.com the avg net worth of each household is $447,000 which includes the value of the real property.
That works out to $11.5 billion.....That would bring the above cost of the proposed single payer system in Vermont to roughly 40% of the new worth of the state's property owners.
Seriously?

The RWers are giving up and resorting to Photoshops earlier than usual, I see.

and you are resorting to lies and begging in support of the Free Shit Guy

Nah, trying to explain in even the simplest of terms how completely unrealistic Sanders free shit programs are fly's right over the lefts heads. Its a waste of time.

They are true believers in Sanders.
How any thinking rational human being can believe Sanders proposals have a realistic chance of coming to fruition is a mystery.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Wow, look at that. hillary, supposedly the warrior of the middle class, is THE favorite candidate of the one percenters. Who knew?

The rich like free trade and immigrant labor, apparently

Wrong.
The rich like crony capitalism and gov't bailouts. That's why they tend to be Democrats.

Thank you, Capt Irrelevant.

As you can see, a majority of the wealthy vote Republican. It's a voting block they cannot win without.

Not true. The wealthiest Americans typically vote democrat.
They also typically donate to liberal causes and democrat candidates.
They do these things to satisfy their guilt and self loathing over their wealth and successes.

I love it how far right folk are incensed by Bernie. He drives em nuts. While I don't think he can win, and I like trump myself, its good for the country that he is gaining momentum. Division is healthy.

Who is "incensed" by Bernie? Nobody on the right that I know or heard of.

Wages are stagnant because if a business owner can't find an American to do the job for lower pay, they find a foreigner to do it; sometimes legal and other times illegal.

And while DumBama is ushering these people in, you are blaming states that made their own decision for businesses not to be held hostage by unions. It's their right to do so, and in some cases was even held for a vote by the people.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

What Republicans are switching to Bernie? I don't know of any or heard of any.

Those who don't feel represented by the Clown Car.

They do with the senior citizens bus????

Sanders: 74
Trump: soon to be 70
Clinton: 69

Your point?

You only have two people running for the nomination on your side; both senior citizens. So you found one out of eight candidates on our side?

I'm glad you find victory in that.

LOL! You think an income of 250k makes someone wealthy.

I see this 2 ways.
1. it is fuckin ironic
2. he is supported by common folk. I would like to think common folk would appreciate work and such more than free shit and no military.

or.

3. The 40% of the population that controls less than 1% of the wealth STILL has 40% of the votes. The middle 20% that controls 4% of the wealth still controls another 20%. Most of these people have jobs and are still struggling.

The fact is, the billionaires and millionaires push most of the candidates, but they only have 1% of the votes.

If "Socialism" is suddenly popular, it's because Americans are starting to realize Capitalism is a shit sandwich.

when it is used as a bludgeon on the 90% of the population due to undue influence in Washington

 

[JoeB131]

No, Capitalism in general is a shit sandwich. It is based on exploiting the work of others. A truly equitable system would be one where everyone has a job, and if fairly compensated for his labor.
