Bernie dragged his feet on this issue in 2016, and when he finally presented his "plan" it was all about eat the rich, class envy nonsense.

Bernie is an idiot. If he wants Democratic Socialism, the high tax rates need to get pushed waaaaaay down the income scale. He acts like taxing the high income earners is not a moving target. Everybody has to pay, not just the wealthier folks.

I bet his "new" plan smells just like his 2016 plan, and the koolaid drinkers will lap it up.

Counting Soviet Union and Venezuela as socialism, is like saying that North Korea count as an example of failed democracy because it calls itself a "Democratic" state, so it must be true.

Lets ignore that these states call themselves democratic and socialist because they seek to appeal to the masses. Socialism means workers are in control of the means of production. Its absolutely absurd to believe that has been the case in these dictatorships.

Its always interesting to see how easy it is for people, even in developed countries, to believe the propaganda of dictatorships if they like the propaganda they're hearing.
