Which is exactly why the government's power and scope needs to be vastly curtailed.

Get a job and fork over > 50% of your income

you want crappy services and short supplies and government control of your life, then time to pay for them

The difference is that Trump & Congress is trying to diffuse a very difficult situation. Bernie wants to fundamentally change the way the country works permanently.

Once the country gets through this situation it will go back, hopefully, to life as we knew it. That would not be the case under Sanders.

Hmm.... I don't see republicans advocating for class warfare against the bourgeoisie. If they are giving money to the so called capitalists, are they really reading Das Kapital?

Not sustainable at all.
That is about you will believe when all you tune into is MSM talking points and propaganda. Very sad.

And the establishment corporate owned Dems paved the way for them to get power. Trump was able to BS about the forgotten man because the Dems abandoned their Progressive FDR roots and became Republican-lite and now they are the GOP as the GOP became the party of Trump. Screw 'em all!

I haven't watched the video but have seen the same inane talking point doing the rounds recently. Kudos for your yeoman's work on sticking to the script. Unfortunately, it just demonstrates total ignorance on Socialism.

And no, the rebranding attempt of calling it "Democratic" socialism isn't working.

Trump is for ALL AMERICANS already here! Democrats are for ALL of Latin Americans wanting to invade our country, DEMANDING their "rights, and "free" stuff! So far, the Dems and ILLEGAL ALIENS are winning! Does anybody REALLY think the published figure of 12,000,000 ILLEGALS already here is correct? Try 40,000,000. ENOUGH ALREADY!! Trump 2020
