So voting for Bernie, you're voting for a childlike President who will never age!

Did you do a lot of acid in college?

Well, if the Republican Demigod Ronald Reagan was a symbol of Presidential perfection until he was 77, I am sure Bernie would be okay.

Besides, he will probably step down after a year or so and his Vice President, Hillary Clinton, will take over as POTUS.

I don't think Bernie as bad ideas, he is just tied to a label that makes him unelectable.

Why wouldn't anyone support the way Sweden and the other Scandinavian and European countries do it? Tax the hell out of the middle class and poor to provide their benefits, and let the rich hide investment income and capital gains in foreign accounts so that they're not taxed at all. Works for Scandinavia and Europe. Their people are happy with that arrangement.

As a working class person, you would earn better wages, have far better pensions, far longer vacations, and much better benefits like family leave and sick leave.

Fine by me. The working class and poor would be paying for what they get.

How do you know? How is the rich's foreign hidden income and wealth counted? Their foreign accounts have strict secrecy laws.

Because you have said so repeatedly. Sweden's system yields low income inequality. Interestingly, Americans also support universal programs like social security and medicare. It is very popular.

Are Americans too stupid to elect him, is that what you are saying?

That's a good basis to choose a president. I weigh ideas and proposals.
