So your rebuttal boils down to name calling.

Bravo.

Those who work the process are a part of making the money. Bernie is not arguing that he should control the money. He is arguing that they should have more control.

If you want to name call, don't bother.

I understand that my example is an extreme but it would make the point. They take in $43 billion, pay the CEO and upper managers $30 billion, they have $12 billion in costs and pay the workers $1 billion.

They would argue there is no profit. Maybe not but there is plenty to go around.
Wait, you believe a company with $43 billion in revenue is paying $30 billion to the CEO and upper management?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Well to be fair to Bernie in his dream of a Socialist Utopia there is no Profit for anyone because any of it is taxed and returned to the overlords of Big Government to be dispensed to those that can't or won't work.



Profit is a dirty word used by greedy capitalists, the enemy of the People.

In the interest of being fair and balanced, Bernie is an idiot too.
