Like I said, if Bernie doesn't even buy cars made by the UAW, then he's a hypocrite. It's plain and simple.

He wants to raise taxes on incomes over $400,000. If you aren;t in that group, not to worry. Whatever it is called, taxes or deductions, you are going to pay for health care. You will necessarily pay less with UHC because of economy of scale and the expense of the insurance company removed from the equation. Middlemen add cost without adding value.

If you can't understand the math I can't help you.

If you want to argue that he's a winner in his personal family life, then have it. 3 wives, a child who publicly condemned him, that may be your idea of success but it's not mine.
Don't forget the daughter he wants to date. Pervert.

One of the most successful human beings in the late 20th century? As Nick Kristoff point out:
Quote:
Back in 1976, Trump said he was worth “more than $200 million.” If he had simply put $200 million in an index fund and reinvested dividends, he would be worth $12 billion today, notes Max Ehrenfreund of The Washington Post. In fact, he’s worth $4.5 billion, according to Forbes.

In other words, Trump’s business acumen seems less than half as impressive as that of an ordinary Joe who parks his savings in an index fund.

You Sanders fans are dreaming. There is no way you can import thousands of people into this country, supply all their needs as well as the American citizens, and not expect a backlash from the productive members of society over the backbreaking taxes it would create.

I already paid off my student loans, and it wasn't easy. Why should I have to pay for someone else's education? You shouldn't punish success and reward people with their hands constantly out. Creating more jobs and giving people the opportunity to succeed is a much better option.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
is flummoxing many left-wing activists by expressing concern that open immigration would depress wages for many American workers. “It would make everybody in America poorer,” Sanders said in response to a question on an open borders policy from Vox, a hard left online opinion journal.

As I've noted before as Sanders says he would do it, what we are doing is simply getting a little of "our" money back. He would place a tax on trades. Taxpayers were forced into the largest bail outs in history with Wall Street and this would simply allow them to benefit a little with that money, not just Wall Street.

A child who publicly condemned him? What are you talking about? Link, please.

Trump is being criticized because he chose to work instead of just investing his money? And who is to say he would have continually increased it by investing? So many lost their shirts on Wall Street during the recession.

Trump has raised his children to be hardworking, responsible adults. Even though raised with every advantage, you have never seen them like so many other children of the rich - clubbing, partying, getting into all sorts of trouble. Don Jr. said he used to spend weekends mowing the lawn at one of their summer houses. That's how Trump himself was raised; working on his dads construction sites. Great work ethics in that family.

I don't throw stones at people who are divorced and remarried. To do so is petty and small.

According to his website, Sanders wants amnesty(because those poor illegals are "vulnerable", after all), opposes border security, wants to expand DACA, sign the DREAM act into law, increase funding for Legal Services for illegals, require employers of illegals to provide transportation, housing, and workers compensation, etc.

HOLY COW. NO THANKS!
