I don't see a square detailing his views on taxation of the middle class to pay for the leech class.
Exactly- While the minions go to his rallys and scream and shout for him we will see how much screaming and shouting they do when they realize their Sanders' tax liability!
Obama did not deliver because of a republican congress hell bent on discrediting him. The America people, including young people, have become aware of living in a corporate government that is manipulated by the wealthiest people who have our politicians dangling from puppet strings. They are aware that Wall St. soars at the expense of Main St. They see their jobs disappearing and what jobs are left are for minimal pay and little to no benefits. The majority of Americans want change and a president who will represent all the people not just a few. Sanders is a socialist but he is not purposing to change our government to socialist.
This Marxist or socialist name calling is simply a attempt to discredit. Sound familiar? Instead of trying to talk down a good candidate why not tell us of all the good things the republicans have accomplished? Tell us what the republicans will do if elected.
"Obama did not deliver because of a republican congress hell bent on discrediting him."
Funny, I re-call him having his OWN Congress for 2 years.
Most people know Obama doesn't need ANY help in "DISCREDITING" himself. he does a DAMNED fine job all o his won!

The sign of a good leader is bringing your opposition together and reaching compromises.
Obama not being a good leader with no experience completely failed at this where Bill Clinton did a pretty good job of it.

Obama is not the first president to deal with an opposition party in congress. Obama didn't get things done because he chose not to so he could vilify the Republicans. According to accounts of the dealings with John Boehner on the so-called "Grand Bargain," they had a deal that would have raised some taxes (at great cost to Republicans and hard fought for by Boehner). Then, Obama called at the last minute to demand more. He knew damn well Boehner wasnt going to get more concessions, so my conclusion is that Obama deliberately scuttled the deal so he could cry about a do nothing Republican congress and the party of no during the 2012 campaign. He's not a leader. A leader would have done what he could for the country instead of trying to destroy trust.
Whether or not you like Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump, you should at least try to understand why they are so popular amongst a large number of citizens. They're unconventional in the sense they are not entrenched in the established political games; they bring a new message; they both tell the truth without sugarcoating it.
I never imagined Trump running for President, but it tells me people are frustrated with how things have been going on for so many years.
I support Bernie Sanders because I see him as a compassionate human being who is genuinely concerned about this country and the entire world. Go beyond your fears and concerns and see what he is really about.
"Let's talk about socialism. I think it's very important to bring back the idea of socialism into the national discussion to where it was at the turn of the [last] century before the Soviet Union gave it a bad name. Socialism had a good name in this country. Socialism had Eugene Debs. It had Clarence Darrow. It had Mother Jones. It had Emma Goldman. It had several million people reading socialist newspapers around the country. Socialism basically said, hey, let's have a kinder, gentler society. Let's share things. Let's have an economic system that produces things not because they're profitable for some corporation, but produces things that people need. People should not be retreating from the word socialism because you have to go beyond capitalism"
-Howard Zinn

Bernie is not a Marxist or a communist. Those ideologies believe in authoritarian leadership and no private enterprise. BERNIE believes in democracy (rule by the people) and private enterprise. Therefore, he is not a Marxist or communist.
Geez.
