kathy beck. Thank you for your reply. Yes, the corporate honchos on top create an environment that leads to low employee morale and that's why the employee/customer relation can suffer. I worked with a few hundred different people in my store and I can tell you that there were no drug addicts there. Mostly, there are people who are semi-retired or have been hurt on the job at some other business. For example, I knew an electrician who fell off a ladder who needed a year to recover. He worked at HD until he recovered enough to get back in his truck and go on as a professional in his field. The problem with HD management is that they pay so low and have a point of view that employees are expendable. That is the biggest problem. You would not accept that in the military or in teaching or at home with your family. So why would anyone think that's acceptable in any place of work? This is why people don't stay at HD and why customers suffer from their experience. I can go on and on. There is so much wrong with the company. And, I'm sure it's the same at Lowe's…
I'm sure they are terrible. But the plight of the worker isn't the point of the story. Those employees would've never had a job there, if Home Depot never existed.
@Joe Joseph what a peoples champion you are. God, it must feel good for you to fight the good fight for the little people. Those poor employees... Rich Man Bad. You should join Antifa.
I have an idea - why don't all of us get to choose how to spend our tax dollars - just like them - we wouldn't have 700 billion dollar annual war budget and the people could fund their own healthcare. These 2 make me sick, not jealous just disgusted
"Never paid the minimum wage". If all business owners did the same then millions wouldn't be calling for Bernie Sanders to step in and create laws to force companies to do the right thing. Stop blaming Bernie. Blame your billionaire friends for pushing back on even the most modest regulation and tax increases.

@@Windthro01 Erik, I too am a white guy. I am also a waiter and have been for a decade. I paid off my 20 thousand dollars in student loans so I have no sympathy for people who feel burdened by student debt.

@@philosophicalwisdom2505 But he's right. The HD doesn't make the customer buy from them instead of the little guys. The Customers do that. Welcome to economics, go back to highschool.
I was in Executive Protection for Depot 3 years. I used to talk to Mr. Marcus when I patroled the area. Very cordial and courteous man. Very Intelligent. Always had something good to say. Very different than most executives there. He was always talkative about the Ga. Aquarium. His project. Folks need to listen to Mr. Marcus. He knows.
Throw in Venezuela to defer from the policies that Sanders is proposing that would help the struggling people in the US. Sanders is not against of small entrepreneurs, he is asking to tax big corporation who are large enough to have "gone public".
One of the best stores. I could go in, speak to a qualified (retired) plumber in the store and say - "I am trying to to such and such' and he would say 'Right, you could do this and that, and these are the items you will need!'. No other store does this.
the home depot customer service sucks big time, they have a bunch of unhappy people very unprofessional, definitely not the same place as it used to be, after many years shopping at home depot I spent a lot of my money in there, no anymore not a single penny!
Wish we could have more old guys on Fox like these 2 gentlemen! Fantastic role models-comedians, winners, grinners, brothers. Inspiring and touching too! Bring back us old codgers! I am 64 and I am so proud of myself...battling on to be the best ME I can be. Thank you God!
At 8:50 the guy says he has no problem paying higher taxes, "provided it's used to redeem the futures of young people". Then the host brings up Sander's plans of free college and forgiving college debts (to me, those sound like plans that could redeem the future of young people). And then the other guy's response is just, no no no Bernie is the enemy. But Bernie's policies sounded exactly like what the first guy said he was for. And then they just moved on, after saying kids today don't learn about western civilization and history. Is that even true? I feel like learning about the USA's history is a pretty common school subject. And if kids aren't, couldn't they go learn those at free college?
@Tessmage Tessera the oil companies were pissed and the British and US governments destroyed Venezuela trying to get back in...... I'd rather ride a bicycle to work and pay $5 a gallon than to cause war around the world

@Hope For the Planet Sweden was more a socialist country from the 60's to the 90's but it was called the middle way or third way...a mix of capitalism and socialism that worked (Volvo.

Given away to those who never contributed.
"Why don't Bernie Sanders do something about these kids, who commit suicide everyday". Bernie Sanders proposes medicare for all (which covers mental healthcare) and now the same guy wanna move to Australia if it got implemented. That's the problem with the elite. He had no problem bragging about doing something to help veteran (because he wants praise), but as soon as a government plan to do what he's bragging about doing is proposed, he complains. He want's basic human needs to depend on his charity and not an unbiased security net.
What we are tired of is all of these billionaires getting all of these tax payer funded tax breaks and tax payer funded bail outs and not paying a "Cent" of tax for years on end!
Home Depot is a terrible store to shop at - unless you shop at one where there is a Lowe's close by. Lowe's is good competition for shoppers against Home Depot.
He does not pay crap at home depot, I know companies will do what they want to do they should put more effort in their employees and less in there stock holder
The people who work for any company are actually the company's biggest asset. The better the employee, the more the stock holder will make. A good work force can make or break any enterprise. They talk a good talk but seem out of touch with reality of the common store.
I would love to be an entrepreneur but can't afford the health insurance to do it - just wait and see if Bernie wins and gets Medicare for all through how many entrepreneurs you will get - maybe that's what they're afraid of.
I first shopped at The Home Depot in 1985 in Fullerton, CA. I've never stopped trusting them and now I've shopped in Hawaii HD for 11 years and recently Utah.
todd dyer - I don’t do drugs. The Democrats in stage for both debates are snakes (except for Biden) in every sense of the word..... they are delusional beyond sanity....

So few understand what made the U.S. and capitalism work; a free market and a free people combined to achieve greatness. Bernie Marcus is absolutely right when he says they just do not teach this stuff anymore. Honestly? I do not think they ever did.
I am an entrepreneur, and my neighbor can't pay for medical subscription for his kid. So please don't ask me to fight for the billionaires. I like Bernie Sanders because he is going to take care of the American people, give them healthcare and education, on top of that he is against wars in the middle east. All of this with Average american worker donations!
@Joe Joseph Obviously you have no understanding of how economy works. How many jobs did Home Depot provide? How many family did these business owners provide for? They could simply sit on their $2M and do nothing, instead, they took a risk to make something. Then again, IDIOTS like you will never understand that.
@@raywalteroutdoors Yeah exactly, why does everything think when a business man says "We had this much money invested" they mean "Oh yeah we just happened to have 2 mil". If any of them took any form of economics class they would know that starting a business needs some sort of investor to put money into the IDEA that you patent and put out. If you had an idea as revolutionary as HD's was, and brought it to the right investor with an actual chance at making it work? You could get 2 mil in backings yourself.
So let me get this straight. I would start a business except that I don't have any student debt and I don't have any healthcare premiums. I should hate the fact that my new enterprise doesn't have to provide healthcare for my employees because they already have it. Also it's outrageous that the money that people don't pay to the banks for student loans and don't pay to the health insurance companies is now being spent in my new business. I get it now Home Depot guy. Sign me up!
So it seems now you don't care if you lose a customer. After the rudeness I experienced from the employees today at a local Home Depot, I left my items at the checkout and went to a similar store a few blocks away to buy what I needed. I'm all for capitalism, but it seems you don't care about customer service and basic courtesy. Money is important, so I'll spend mine where people are friendly and helpful. Another great thing about having freedom and choices.
Bernie is not the enemy of entrepreneurs. Instead of having student loan payments, allow consumers to have more money to spend. That sounds good to me. Go Bernie!
So if you don't have to pay for your student loan... who flips the bill. You should apply for citizenship for Venezuela. Let us know how your doing in your new shi*thole socialists country.
Bryant you actually know Economics but also the fact is under Social Democracy a free market alternative to Home Depot is far more likely to emerge (because the founder would not be stuck working at Walmart and being without needed resources but getting to use his potential). For James why would we have to move to a Latin American Country which speaks if we want Social Democratic Policies which are practiced in places which speak English. I am into Spanish but the fact is not everyone wants or needs to learn it and if i was some non Hispanic American living in Kentucky why would i want to learn Spanish?
@Bryant505 and who do pay for everything that is free? in the end, no one has any money to pay or buy anything because you got everything for free and everybody else had to pay for it, so instead of having money to buy what they need they now have debts they did not sing up for, they have YOUR DEBT to pay, so instead of working for themselves and their families, they are working for your stupidities, way to go, you are selfish and entitled, if you want to be a weight to society, maybe you should ask the rest of society if they want to pay for your ineptitude to produce any worth to help others. Your stupid choices should not be a weight to anyone, but you.
*and who do pay for everything that is free?* The same group who can continue increasing the Military budget and already uses tax dollars to pay for goods and services. *so instead of having money to buy what they need they now have debts they did not sing up for, they have YOUR DEBT to pay* The point is Public Colleges would be free at the point of service and be paid for by taxes by all of this. This is not akin to just slapping a random guy down with the debt of another rather a small percent of all of our incomes goes to it (via tax) and that small percent grows larger and larger covering more People despite it being small). *Your stupid choices should not be a weight to anyone, but you* By stupid choices getting a College education falls on the list! even if our majors are not Feminist history or art?
When Bernie Marcus gives away money to a worthy cause, there are no strings attached. When Congress "gives" away money with one hand, they are taking something away with the other. God bless these fine gentlemen!
I don't know if anyone will read this comment. Listen to this and then stand up and fight for all you are worth. I quote.

7:57 - **congressmen** should be deciding how excessive wealth/resources are distributed towards social benefit because THEY ARE ELECTED and YOU AREN'T... and YOU being good at accumulating billions of dollars doesn't make you at all morally elevated or more expert on civic matters - in fact it very much suggests the opposite.
This guy is dense... first off medicare for all will help new entrepreneurs because its ridiculous to have to depend on a job to get health care. With medicare for all new entrepreneurs have less to worry about. Also nothing can beat stimulating the economy than canceling student loan debt. When the banks got bailed out that money stayed in the banks. If students get bailed out they will put that money back into the economy.

So they put all the little "Entrepreneurs" out of business. Mom and Pops, family businesses. Try opening up a little hardware store and competing wth Home Depot or Lowes. Hey Marcus, why should you decide what hospitals get built etc... Why should you get to spend the fruits of other people's labor?

It shows you how disconnected these people are. I’m happy for his success but don’t even try to relate to students if you believe 2 million is “no money” 😑
These two founders had vision and a dream. Sounds like a cliche but they took a chance with no guarantees and that is something that any American should relate to.
Well most Americans don't have a friend whose father is the biggest banker around they had connections too
@@divasbraidz It seems you have missed my point entirely. You should rewatch this video and please pay CLOSE attention to what they are saying.
@@mdkutzler8495 Nah I just see a white guy with money telling me that capitalism solves everything, even though this country has a 1.3 trillion dollar student debt and total have total of 10 trillion of debt in general. So how the hell is borrowing going to solve anything.
@@mdkutzler8495, You say "Diva Hair" "...should pay CLOSE attention to what they are saying." You misunderstand what "Diva Hair" is all about. "Diva Hair" knows exactly what they are saying, but "Diva Hair", like Bernie Sanders, doesn't want anyone to listen to or trust in what they are saying. Listen to what these gentlemen are saying about what Bernie Sanders, and probably "Diva Hair" want, and you will understand the goal of "Diva Hair".
@@Windthro01 Erik, I too am a white guy. I am also a waiter and have been for a decade. I paid off my 20 thousand dollars in student loans so I have no sympathy for people who feel burdened by student debt. Capitalism works because my investments in the stock market allowed me to pay the last 5 thousand dollars in loans. That was called capital gains. Capitalism works when you let it.
🔥🔥 Bernie 2020!🔥🔥
Bernie Sanders is a Amazing supporter of the people! The rich don't need tax breaks!
The Enemy of my Enemy is my Ally? Go Bernie.Go
Bernie no hope in hell. TRUMP 2020.
Put all the family owned hardware stores out of businesses forever. : (
exactly!!! but they want to put bernie sanders down crazy weird american double standard as usual
Not here home depot's are to far away so our local hardware and paint stores are doing fine.
@@lt6731 sanders is a ridiculous idiot. His tax would hit me because i have $500.00 dollars in the market and i live month to month on ssi.
@Jack London That's good to hear.
@@nethanelmasters5170 That's good to hear.
They put many mom and pop hardware stores out of business.....and still do so .
Wrong. You did. It was the customers decision.
The wheel put many workers out of work too. Sheeeeeeesh
@@philosophicalwisdom2505 But he's right. The HD doesn't make the customer buy from them instead of the little guys. The Customers do that. Welcome to economics, go back to highschool.
So did Walmart. Its called keeping up with the times. Do you still want a 60 model Plymouth?
I was in Executive Protection for Depot 3 years. I used to talk to Mr. Marcus when I patroled the area. Very cordial and courteous man. Very Intelligent. Always had something good to say. Very different than most executives there. He was always talkative about the Ga. Aquarium. His project. Folks need to listen to Mr. Marcus. He knows.
hhahahahhahahahahahaaha
Throw in Venezuela to defer from the policies that Sanders is proposing that would help the struggling people in the US. Sanders is not against of small entrepreneurs, he is asking to tax big corporation who are large enough to have "gone public".
I like Bernie Marcus and Ken Langone. Bernie Sanders is a mess!
Bernie Sanders is a god
You look like a mess liv!
college will become affordable, when we stop paying the college president and dean millions of dollars salaries...what a rip off
One of the best stores. I could go in, speak to a qualified (retired) plumber in the store and say - "I am trying to to such and such' and he would say 'Right, you could do this and that, and these are the items you will need!'. No other store does this.
the home depot customer service sucks big time, they have a
bunch of unhappy people very unprofessional, definitely not the same place as
it used to be, after many years shopping at home depot I spent a lot of my money
in there, no anymore not a single penny!
Wish we could have more old guys on Fox like these 2 gentlemen! Fantastic role models-comedians, winners, grinners, brothers. Inspiring and touching too! Bring back us old codgers! I am 64 and I am so proud of myself...battling on to be the best ME I can be. Thank you God!
muaha ha ha ha …. we need to elect Bernie. These oligarchs are the cancer of our life
I love Home Depot. And I go there every day.
At 8:50 the guy says he has no problem paying higher taxes, "provided it's used to redeem the futures of young people". Then the host brings up Sander's plans of free college and forgiving college debts (to me, those sound like plans that could redeem the future of young people). And then the other guy's response is just, no no no Bernie is the enemy. But Bernie's policies sounded exactly like what the first guy said he was for. And then they just moved on, after saying kids today don't learn about western civilization and history. Is that even true? I feel like learning about the USA's history is a pretty common school subject. And if kids aren't, couldn't they go learn those at free college?
Venezuela? Hey Marcus, think that has anything to do with the embaro, sanctions, and economic warfare waged on them by the US?
@Tessmage Tessera the oil companies were pissed and the British and US governments destroyed Venezuela trying to get back in...... I'd rather ride a bicycle to work and pay $5 a gallon than to cause war around the world
there is food in Venezuela, but literally they make 4 dollars a month and it cost 2 dollars for a hot dog...plenty of food but u have to have someone in another country sending you outside money to live...
Great stories, very interesting. I noticed one attacked Sander's socialism saying a major
store revolutionary concept could NEVER happen in a socialist country...then I think of Sweden's IKEA.
or any company from Canada? lol who also invented basketball... Md also needed 5 million dollars in advance to build this company... no problems! lol anyone can do it!
jim gunn Ikea sucks. Cheaply made crap breaks down like everything else made in china. Socialism is good there because nobody lives in Sweden. Our population is too great for this failed system to work anyway. Venezuela a socialist hellhole
@@annaphillips8188 sooooooo.... when China makes a socialistic model that works with over 1 billion people you then say?.... and please, ikea worse than American products? lmfao thats why 75% of Americans own ikea products? lmao hillbilly! more people living in Sweden woth brains maybe than your country
@@annaphillips8188 The US believes in socialism and welfare for crooked
failing banks, criminal stock brokers, dairy industry, farmers, military suppliers but not the people.
Find a western nation that doesn't provide "free" healthcare....except
for the US. Get your priorities right....a stupid useless wall or healthcare?
You deserve nice things, too.
@Hope For the Planet Sweden was more a socialist country from the 60's to the 90's
but it was called the middle way or third way...a mix of capitalism and socialism
that worked (Volvo. Ikea, Scania, etc.)
(Health care, free education, etc.)
It's true mass migration threatens social programs, health care, housing
prices, education...everything that that society had worked so hard to pay for.
Given away to those who never contributed.
He looks great for a 90 year old
If you are capitals you should cross your fingers that Trumps makes the S&P great again!
All of Europe and Asia would disagree
We had no money. We raised 3 million dollars. They gave us a 3 million line of credit. We had no money.
"Why don't Bernie Sanders do something about these kids, who commit suicide everyday". Bernie Sanders proposes medicare for all (which covers mental healthcare) and now the same guy wanna move to Australia if it got implemented. That's the problem with the elite. He had no problem bragging about doing something to help veteran (because he wants praise), but as soon as a government plan to do what he's bragging about doing is proposed, he complains. He want's basic human needs to depend on his charity and not an unbiased security net.
What we are tired of is all of these billionaires getting all of these tax payer funded tax breaks and tax payer funded bail outs and not paying a "Cent" of tax for years on end!
Home Depot is a terrible store to shop at - unless you shop at one where there is a Lowe's close by. Lowe's is good competition for shoppers against Home Depot.
Two old men talking about old times. Good luck starting home depot with six figures of negative equity
He does not pay crap at home depot, I know companies will do what they want to do they should put more effort in their employees and less in there stock holder
@Tuco The Rat Your right, he does want ever he wants. I am a contractor of a big company who says they care but they dont care
The people who work for any company are actually the company's biggest asset. The better the employee, the more the stock holder will make. A good work force can make or break any enterprise. They talk a good talk but seem out of touch with reality of the common store.
Bright and good guys both of them. Thank you for living the American hope. No free lunch, use brains and hard work.
Wtf are you talking about????? These guys don't want you to get wealthy! They want to take your money
@@Exoticgirl1 why wouldn't they want me wealthy? The more money I make, the more crap I can buy at Home Depot
Social Democracy is a healthy blend of capitalism and socialism.
The arrogance of the rich who always think they know better what’s better for society than government.
Government does not know what is "best" for anyone GAWD
kathleenirish a democratic society is run by its people not a few wealthy. A corporation isn’t a democratic entity.
I would love to be an entrepreneur but can't afford the health insurance to do it - just wait and see if Bernie wins and gets Medicare for all through how many entrepreneurs you will get - maybe that's what they're afraid of.
Thank you for supporting Tony Stewart throughout his Nascar career home Depot. You made a wise choice

If snakes could talk this is what it would look like.
Yes I heard snakes talking at the Democrat debates this week
todd dyer - I don’t do drugs. The Democrats in stage for both debates are snakes (except for Biden) in every sense of the word..... they are delusional beyond sanity....
todd dyer - this is a party that cares more about illegal immigrants than they do their own citizens. Reason is quite simple because they know they’ve got a new group of voters depending on a bigger and bigger government welfare state which gives them more power.
Steve Zagata - and who do you feel are “better” people? These two guys have made 1000’s of people wealthy, they employee thousands, they offer good quality products at low prices. So who do you consider to be “better people”????
@@tubularbill Biden? He's like the Hydra of Lema married to Medusa. But don't concern yourself with him, he just got a knockout punch from Kamala the Destroyer. He's done.
So few understand what made the U.S. and capitalism work; a free market and a free people combined to achieve greatness. Bernie Marcus is absolutely right when he says they just do not teach this stuff anymore. Honestly? I do not think they ever did.
4 ignorant statements in 4 sentences, bravo. You achieved idiot of the day
We LUV Home Depot in Vancouver Canada!!
That's awesome, I didn't know Canada had Home Depot!
I am an entrepreneur, and my neighbor can't pay for medical subscription for his kid. So please don't ask me to fight for the billionaires. I like Bernie Sanders because he is going to take care of the American people, give them healthcare and education, on top of that he is against wars in the middle east.
All of this with Average american worker donations!
Bernie Sanders has been consistent over the years... Same crazy ideas. 😂
Socialist liberals are insane...
@Jack London Seriously, do some actual research, you sound like an idiot.
Socialism works just fine,, untill you run out of other people's money.
We had $2M 40 years ago. Lol, we were broke. Lol
Obviously you're not a business man
@Joe Joseph Obviously you have no understanding of how economy works. How many jobs did Home Depot provide? How many family did these business owners provide for? They could simply sit on their $2M and do nothing, instead, they took a risk to make something. Then again, IDIOTS like you will never understand that.
Amen. I made $31,000. Last year and I cry for joy for these business men.
They didn't have $2 mil their investors did. They had the Billion dollar idea.
@@raywalteroutdoors Yeah exactly, why does everything think when a business man says "We had this much money invested" they mean "Oh yeah we just happened to have 2 mil". If any of them took any form of economics class they would know that starting a business needs some sort of investor to put money into the IDEA that you patent and put out. If you had an idea as revolutionary as HD's was, and brought it to the right investor with an actual chance at making it work? You could get 2 mil in backings yourself.
Let’s do what old rich guys say cause that’s worked out for them nicely. Gtfo
Typical lazy liberal play the victim reply
So let me get this straight. I would start a business except that I don't have any student debt and I don't have any healthcare premiums. I should hate the fact that my new enterprise doesn't have to provide healthcare for my employees because they already have it. Also it's outrageous that the money that people don't pay to the banks for student loans and don't pay to the health insurance companies is now being spent in my new business. I get it now Home Depot guy. Sign me up!
So it seems now you don't care if you lose a customer. After the rudeness I experienced from the employees today at a local Home Depot, I left my items at the checkout and went to a similar store a few blocks away to buy what I needed. I'm all for capitalism, but it seems you don't care about customer service and basic courtesy. Money is important, so I'll spend mine where people are friendly and helpful. Another great thing about having freedom and choices.
I plan to take business eleswhere!
Bernie is not the enemy of entrepreneurs. Instead of having student loan payments, allow consumers to have more money to spend. That sounds good to me. Go Bernie!
So if you don't have to pay for your student loan... who flips the bill. You should apply for citizenship for Venezuela. Let us know how your doing in your new shi*thole socialists country.
Bryant you actually know Economics but also the fact is under Social Democracy a free market alternative to Home Depot is far more likely to emerge (because the founder would not be stuck working at Walmart and being without needed resources but getting to use his potential).
For James why would we have to move to a Latin American Country which speaks if we want Social Democratic Policies which are practiced in places which speak English. I am into Spanish but the fact is not everyone wants or needs to learn it and if i was some non Hispanic American living in Kentucky why would i want to learn Spanish?
@Bryant505 and who do pay for everything that is free? in the end, no one has any money to pay or buy anything because you got everything for free and everybody else had to pay for it, so instead of having money to buy what they need they now have debts they did not sing up for, they have YOUR DEBT to pay, so instead of working for themselves and their families, they are working for your stupidities, way to go, you are selfish and entitled, if you want to be a weight to society, maybe you should ask the rest of society if they want to pay for your ineptitude to produce any worth to help others. Your stupid choices should not be a weight to anyone, but you.
*and who do pay for everything that is free?*
The same group who can continue increasing the Military budget and already uses tax dollars to pay for goods and services.
*so instead of having money to buy what they need they now have debts they did not sing up for, they have YOUR DEBT to pay*
The point is Public Colleges would be free at the point of service and be paid for by taxes by all of this. This is not akin to just slapping a random guy down with the debt of another rather a small percent of all of our incomes goes to it (via tax) and that small percent grows larger and larger covering more People despite it being small).
*Your stupid choices should not be a weight to anyone, but you*
By stupid choices getting a College education falls on the list! even if our majors are not Feminist history or art?
Home Depot is my favorite store.
When Bernie Marcus gives away money to a worthy cause, there are no strings attached. When Congress "gives" away money with one hand, they are taking something away with the other. God bless these fine gentlemen!
The pigs are getting scared imo
The only pigs I see are the ones who want to be fed without working the land.
I don't know if anyone will read this comment. Listen to this and then stand up and fight for all you are worth. I quote.

To all Americans, Do the right thing, Vote for freedom.
The system is clearly broken. 63% of working households cannot afford a $1000 emergency, over 85% of bankruptcies are caused by a medical emergency, and 43% of the homeless have jobs.
every item at that store is overpriced.
I will vote for Sanders. What about you?

7:57 - **congressmen** should be deciding how excessive wealth/resources are distributed towards social benefit because THEY ARE ELECTED and YOU AREN'T... and YOU being good at accumulating billions of dollars doesn't make you at all morally elevated or more expert on civic matters - in fact it very much suggests the opposite.
What a great interview of 2 legendary American entrepreneurs! I'd love to sit down with these guys and pick their big brains. Much respect!
It helps a lot when you have wealthy dads. They are not Steve Jobs that for sure.
This guy is dense... first off medicare for all will help new entrepreneurs because its ridiculous to have to depend on a job to get health care. With medicare for all new entrepreneurs have less to worry about. Also nothing can beat stimulating the economy than canceling student loan debt. When the banks got bailed out that money stayed in the banks. If students get bailed out they will put that money back into the economy.
I love Bernie Sanders

Love these two great American genius business persons. Bernie and Ken are some of the best business persons in world history.
Why doesn't Venezuala have food? Maybe because the government put price ceilings on food so low that businesses couldn't make profit so they went out of business, does Bernie Sanders want to do that? No. This is absurd.
Oh common, what harm can a short little National-Socialist (Na-zi) do?
moron of the month over here^^
So they put all the little "Entrepreneurs" out of business. Mom and Pops, family businesses. Try opening up a little hardware store and competing wth Home Depot or Lowes. Hey Marcus, why should you decide what hospitals get built etc... Why should you get to spend the fruits of other people's labor?
