Yeah, they work when you have a 20-25% VAT tax like European countries have. We should do that here. Wonder why Bernie never suggests it.

these fools will vote for him without even understanding what his intentions really are.

After 8 years of Obama failed policies, it seems like they are hungry for more, the future of America
LOL!

That IS a surprise to me actually.

Because the key word is "equality." You say it like it's a bad thing.

It has been that way since the '60s in Iowa City. I watched the "hippies" riot, burn cars, and throw rocks at the National guard in the '60s. It was not uncommon to see a North Vietnamese flag flying in some dorm windows.

All college campuses now are nuts. Why? Because the profs are all libs and no one in the universities has had to work for a living yet. Remember what Churchill said?

I'd love to see the poor pay 30% more for everything.

They might actually end up paying for all the programs that benefit them.

Go Bernie.

Give us some Swedish socialism.

WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!!

Probably because he is placating businesses. These are the ones importing most of the items- like iPhones, computers, etc. These are the people who would be paying the taxes. Sure, consumer goods costs might rise slightly, but not enough for most people to notice. People can always buy a Samsung over an iPhone.

I don't think many people around these boards actually understand how a "Value Added Tax" works......

Before or after the national guard was called in the kill people at Kent State? No matter. They don't do that anymore.

Sooo..... IOW, the professors are educated people who never became jaded over their positions in life? These people ACTUALLY WANT TO pay more taxes to help the less fortunate??!! GTFO!! Who would have thunk it....

Now, back you your regularly scheduled Monday morning circle jerk.

I guess all the liberals are at work during these hours.

what back woods did you come out of -Utah's ? Finger pointing is all they taught you at home ? In college you exchange all types of ideas and thoughts- I pray you are NOT a teacher
I'm sure he's not. That's why he's so pissed at the educated and poor.

Does it matter? People would pay 25% more for everything. EVERYONE would pay instead of the minority who pay now (77.5 million tax filers paid any federal income tax at all. U.S. population is 320 million), and the revenue for Bernie's programs would be collected.

You Libs are so cute, always coming up with a new BS politically correct term "He is not a Marxist, he is a Social Democrat". 8 years, these same fools would say "Oh no, Obama is not a Liberal, he is a "Centrist". Whatever the hell that means.

another liberal! "duh....look at Europe!".

Europe is almost bankrupt from all the social spending.
Look at Germany, Italy and Greese.
