When I think of a socialist, I think of higher taxes and more intrusive centralized government.
Bernie has openly stated he's a socialist. So, why do you support someone who openly states he will raise your taxes and expand government?
If Bernie could, he'd restructure the tax code to break up large fortunes and distribute them more evenly toward the middle and working classes. This is what they do in the democratic socialist countries he admires. I think this is great. There is very little Bernie and I diagree on.
I like your enthusiasm, Mike ... but you're HIGHLY delusional if you think the old man can win in the general.
Now PLEASE stop your misguided, foolish protest and get behind our strongest candidate...
Are you supporting Bernie's positions more or Hillary's more? If going by electability, the latest poll shows Sanders leading Cruz by 19% in the important swing state NH, while Hillary is losing by 4% to Cruz.
The "strongest candidate" is losing to Ted Cruz in NH!!! Similar numbers regarding Trump.
People need to realize that Sanders is the strongest candidate as he has so much more cross-party appeal than Hillary and Hillary is unable to create the type of excitement that Bernie is getting which brings more people who previously didnt vote out to vote. People who support the policies of Bernie should not feel the need to pick Hillary even if they dont want to because of "electability".

I'm sorry that you failed so badly at life that now you feel you should take money from others who earned it. Please continue to try for success.

He is the candidate that I don't consider another 'self-centered' thieving SOB!

Since when? European countries are the largest tax havens on Earth. Furthermore, they don't have a FATCA law forcing foreign banks and financial institutions to disclose account information, as does the US.
Anyway, you mentioned that we're taxing small American businesses out of existence so I'll post relevant information on that:
Actually what i said is we're legislating small businesses out of the ability to compete with big businesses who help write the laws to keep out the competition.

We thought the same about Obama.. after all, who'd be stupid enough to elect him once, let alone twice.

And here is why the left will never get it..
You can NOT tax people to break up their fortunes since WE TAX INCOME, NOT WEALTH...
