Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

[the other mike]

Actually, all of our nation's infrastructure was built by private interests before the Progressive Era.

Yeah with the help of slave labor.
Good point.

Wrong, idiot.

The railroads, steamship lines, and oil lines were not built with slave labor.

Your ignorance is astounding.

Damn. Who shit on your pizza tonight Timothy ?
Or are you this uncivil with everyone all the time?

That's why he demanded that Wall Street be bailed out to the tune of trillions....Rube.

Got a link, Pussy?

Wall Street Bailout

"The Senate approved a $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

"Senator Bernie Sanders voted against the bill that would put Wall Street's burden on the backs of the American middle class. 'The bailout package is far better than the absurd proposal originally presented to us by the Bush administration, but is still short of where we should be,' Sanders said. 'If a bailout is needed, if taxpayer money must be placed at risk, if we are going to bail out Wall Street, it should be those people who have caused..."

What do you think "quantitative easing" was, shitferbrains?

But Sanders has ZERO say in what the Fed does?

Bernie is finished now. He had a real good run. But the DNC simply wont allow him to be the top of the ticket. Biden will win enough tomorrow to consolidate his momentum. And, we will be down to just a few candidates, which will help Biden also. I still think Clinton will be the nominee in the end tho.

It's 12:51 PST as I write this, and it looks like you're right about Biden's momentum. If Joe wins a plurality of delegates but falls short of winning 1991, I don't think the DNC superdelegates would deny him the nomination the way they almost certainly would if Bernie had the most delegates.

Maybe Biden will tap Hillary for his Attorney General?

Did they steal it? Or was it from creating useful goods and services?

They stole it from the useful workers who produced the goods and services. That's how capitalism effects wealth for a few by impoverishing the many.

I am fascinated that Liberals, who have no class, insist on having a President with class.

How are you using the word "class"?

America's Egregious Economic Inequality in a Single Statistic

"As egregious as America’s economic inequality may appear, the reality is somehow even worse. Those are the findings of the University of California, Berkeley’s Gabriel Zucman, whose latest research reveals that the .00025 percent now own more than the bottom 60 percent. To put that statistic in perspective, 400 individuals control more wealth than 150 million combined."

Here's how I use the word class.
Let's take Karl Marx as an example of low class. He couldn't provide a comfortable life for his family, almost froze to death many a winter, and died broke as a joke after spending most of his existence working on a failed theory.
Yet, you are in awe of him.
Enuff said.

You're lying.

That's how capitalism effects wealth for a few by impoverishing the many.

That's why Russia, Cuba and Venezuela were so awesome?

Because it was socialism impoverishing the many.

their representatives?

How did capitalism affect Russia?

Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin: When the White House fixed a Russian election

"By the time Yeltsin announced in early 1996 that he would be running for a second term in the presidential election scheduled for that summer, he had become one of the most despised figures in Russia, having presided over the catastrophic consequences of the privatization of the Russian economy.

"The impact included a GDP decline of 50 percent, hyperinflation, rampant corruption, skyrocketing violent crime, the collapse of medical services, food and fuel shortages, nonpayment of wages and pensions, and a plunge in life expectancy."

Class: The Little Word the Elites Want You to Forget

"Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith and Karl Marx grounded their philosophies in the understanding that there is a natural antagonism between the rich and the rest of us.

"The interests of the rich are not our interests.

"The truths of the rich are not our truths.

"The lives of the rich are not our lives.

"Great wealth not only breeds contempt for those who do not have it but it empowers oligarchs to pay armies of lawyers, publicists, politicians, judges, academics and journalists to censure and control public debate and stifle dissent."

In the link, Chris Hedges explains why the rich are happy to talk about race, sexual identity, gender, patriotism, religion, immigration, abortion, and gun control.

Because those issues divide the public into multiple warring tribes of culture combatants, and, in the process, demonstrating why malignant parasites like Trump and Bloomberg can switch effortlessly from one party to the other.

"Once oligarchs seize power, Aristotle wrote, a society must either accept tyranny or choose revolution."

If he was right, what's your choice?

Ooppps, seems your thread just got dog poop on its shoe, lolololololol!

ut you economically illiterate free lunchers don't understand markets, so you demand that the rich banksters and Wall Street wheeler-dealers get bailed out.

What do you understand about a "free" market that distributes good and services based on ability to pay, Butt-plug?

Your pretensions to economic literacy are almost as funny as your Pathic memes.

 

[georgephillip]

The alternative was to let the bad paper clear out of the market and for stupid people to eat their losses.

How would that have affected US unemployment numbers, Loon?

How about Consumption?

Bernie is a Communist so he has no class to start with.

Bernie's a FDR Democrat who wasn't born rich:....."

That scumbag fdr WAS born rich.

That scumbag fdr WAS born rich.

Which might explain why he choose to save capitalism instead of bury it?

More broken windows....Gubmint has no money of their own, therefore "gubmint spending" comes from the pockets of the productive, who would have spent, saved, invested, or given away those funds themselves.

But you're a fucking economic illiterate, so it's not surprising that this most simple of concepts needs to be 'splained to you.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, GeorgiePoorgie is astounded that so many Americans are class conscience and aware; even tho' he'll never admit it!

And he thought that him and Bernie had the corner on class.......

How aware are you?

America's Egregious Economic Inequality in a Single Statistic

"In recent months, there has been a concerted effort among the left wing of the Democratic Party to address the (economic) imbalance.

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has floated the idea of a 70 percent marginal tax rate on income earned in excess of $10 million; Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a wealth tax targeting the top .1 percent of American families; while Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced the For the 99.8% Act, which would dramatically expand the scope of the estate tax, among other ameliorative measures.

"These proposals have proved enormously popular, with a spate of recent surveys indicating widespread support for soaking the rich."

Alot has changed in the last 8 years for the better, thanks to our fearless President Trump!

Except Trump has only been in office for three of those 8 years. Why isn't consumer debt or farm bankruptcies declining under your Fuhrer?

For the same reason the richest one percent continue to prosper just as they have for the last forty years.

Household debt hit another all-time high. Is it poised to level off?

Whose fault is it when you have household debt GP? When I had debt, it was my fault. I don't blame others.
