Well, idiots like yourselves believe this is capitalism when if you simply listened to the fathers of capitalist thought Adam Smith and Milton Friedman, youd find out this is not capitalism. Many of you supported the bailouts and now we are 50 trillion in debt and youre wondering why? Yes because of people like yourself.
I could be working more. But. Yeah. 3 dudes shouldnt own half of everything. Not even Jesus. Or the Phrophet Mohammod, or Buddha, or Moses. No one should. This is why I hate the game monopoly.
Most of the time the reason these people get so rich and successful is a combination of hard work and innovation, and once they've gotten successful, the need for these things goes away, like with Apple. These people are rich because we made them rich.
There were people speaking out about Reaganomics and "trickle down theory" but they were scoffed at. Some even went as far as to call the naysayers communist (I wonder which side said that) ?
@@bunyipdragon9499 Not to mention that the talking heads of news television were all conservatives. The only liberal featured in bookstores or television of that time, was occasionally Robert Reich. Otherwise, there was no liberal counter allowed to the Reagan argument by the MSM of that day.
@stevenmitchell1 interesting your comment came through to me but it doesn't seem to be posted public. Guess you hit a nerve. ( I agree by the way, that's why those that tried to warn us were shot down so easily😡)
Fifty years ago, people thought that unions were safe (and then Reagan lied to them), and corporations weren't "people" yet. And the conservative propaganda machine wasn't up and running to full power yet.
One of the only politicians who is openly speaking out against enormous corporations and their donations. Thank you. In this environment where everything feels like it is for sale and nobody is accountable, I need this.
I find it kinda charming that government agents promote "eat the rich" rhetorics now that they are grow afraid of influential corporations after sticking with them for past 50 years on every occasion. Remember the United Fruit Company?

I just did the math, that 50 trillion divided by the (estimated) number of workers in America comes to about $300,000 PER WORKER. Just imagine what you could do with $300K. A new home? A new car? Pay off your debts? But that was taken from us. Every one of us. For the sake of those who already have more than they will ever need. It's sickening.
It is the result of free market and capitalist economics, of corporate greed and human greed. It is a lack of a "common" way of thinking about common progress and development. Of course, it is not wrong that there is a difference in the wealth of citizens - the important thing is when fairness disappears when the rich gain power - or the possibility of more than one "vote" in a democracy.

Since the beginning of time up until just 1 century ago, the 1920's, there were circa 1.25 billion on this planet & now 8.5 billion humans. The human species has destroyed this planet. Bernie was the ONLY person with the common sense that would have saved this planet for many future generations but actually & as a matter of scientific fact it's now too late.

I am in the UK and its exactly the same here. The rich pay next to no taxes. Royalty pay no taxes. Its sickening. Too many people struggling to make ends meet. I wish we had someone like Bernie here.
The issue is that he can't offer a real solution to this. If the government taxes the corporations more, we'll still be paying for it. We're literally stuck in a system that no matter what the politicians do, we the people get screwed over. If they tax the rich, they don't give it back to us. If they tax the rich, the rich will charge more for everything. If they artificially raise our wages, the rich will charge more for everything. We're stuck. Bernie is correct about the problem, but he doesn't have a solution for it, and neither does anyone else.
Just end the two party system and be like all other western countries, real democracies for the people and take all that money out of politics, why is it leagal to buy politicians in the US?
You should pay attention to the work of Committees where Bernie is Chairman..... He does have some effect, but as Capitalism crumbles worldwide, we need to prepare a new state of mind?
And yet, half or more of the discussions in this thread are people playing out party politics as usual. If you really stand with Bernie and his ideals, then you also are against the two parties. You are against both, if you are logically consistent.

Probably the reason Trump and a bunch or Republicans got elected is because that's who they're catering to. Whether or not they will actually help the working class remains to be seen, but like with all politicians, he was elected because of his promises to the majority.
However are the oligarchs and billionaires that bring immigrants in the first world in order to pay them cheap wages (thus reducing the wages of the local workers) and keep the supply of resources of the third world constant by removing poor population and bringing them to the first world (reduction of probability for revolutions). The people voted for Trump for keeping their jobs and having some law and order. But both political parties have the same plan for the populace: its destruction.
Precisely. “Find a scapegoat and fixate on it”. So it was about immigrants, borders, etc., rather than the greedy people at the top, who supported Trump bc he is going to make them MORE wealthy. I suppose a billion doesn’t go as far as it used to?!?
@@rhysfridays3871 who else are you going to give control over the currency than the government? There's not really another way to do it, because whoever is setting the control of the currency might as well be the government for all intents and purposes.

Or are you talking about the lack of checks and balances and accountability to voters when they change it without authorization from voters?
Bernie has been on the right side of every issue for over 50 years. Imagine where we'd be if the DNC hadn't forced Hillary on us but let the voters actually choose the candidate. We would even be talking about Trump.
And they're queuing up another tax cut for billionaires, while two of these billionaire DBs are on an advisory panel to determine budget cuts. So how can they transfer money that should feed children or provide health care into their pockets. Sickening.
If he would practice what he preaches, he might have more of a following. But he also likes to keep his own money rather than distribute it to the less fortunate as he has pandered for decades now, and has lived very comfortably in doing so.
When i did the economics 101 unit at university decades ago, we were taught that, under the theories of capitalist economics ‘competition’ would prevent excess profits. Which meant that, technically, billionaires shouldnt exist under capitalist economics, because competition should whittle prices and profits to a minimum. Even my professors teaching that unit openly stated the theory underlying our economic system was false - because those conditions never exist in the real world. We live in a system, worldwide, that is a gigantic lie. And once again, people are starting to see the lie very clearly. The question is, how do we change the system peacefully, before it collapses violently, as it has done so many times before throughout history. Democracy should mean we can peacefully change this, but the unjust economic system has reached out to prevent even that.
Before Reagan, there was Milton J Friedman who founded the death cult of Shareholder First economics. It was beta tested as Thatcherism before its final form as Reaganomics. Both of which are still in full force.
Youre an idiot if you think its that simple. What about 1911 and the establishment of the federal reserve. Interest rates no longer being set by the free market?

Back then, the richest people were still living extraordinarily extravagant lives. Going back to that tax rate would not have an influence on their way of life, but if that extra money were handled properly, it would make all the difference to the majority of Americans.

You know there were so many tax loopholes and writeoffs in the 1950s that the tax rate was actually lower effectively than it was today?

@@Gandhi_Physique I think the argument is more that if we have a variable rate they get taxed more. eg: 90% == 900 million for everyone else, and they still have 100 million that is more than enough money for anyone to do with. Not the inverse where they get less % taxed (eg: 10%). But yeah even just a unchanging % for everyone would still be better than what we have now.
@@futuza Yeah, of course. Variable is something I'm not sure if I support or not, but at the very least it should be the same as everyone else. Still maintaining some threshold where people in poverty are able to keep the money they do make, or at least get it back at tax time.

1 billion dollars you need to spend at lease 10,000 dollars weekly for 240 years spending and no humans can live that long , the greed is destroying the us
My math might be off, but I got 124.8 M by that count. (10,000x 52weeks in a year x 240years). If my math is right, even if you spend 10,000 A DAY for 240 years (10,000 x 365 days x 240 years) it’s 876 M… which is still less than a billion! 🤯. Totally agree, the greed is destroying us!
You could spend $27,397 a day for 100 years and it would just about equal a billion dollars. Elon Musk could spend 300 times that. He could spend 8.2 million per day for the next 100 years and be fine. Does this seem fair to you?

If by maximum wage you also mean money earned through non-salary/non-hourly/non-tip means such as stock options, etc., then yes -- if you don't put a cap on that, then the rich just jack up prices until they get minimum wage earners back down to grinding poverty.

The amount of wealth a tiny number of people has gathered is bordering on evil.
If the Democrats had campaigned on these issues, they would have won, but they’re too afraid of upsetting their wealthy donors. Instead, they chose to focus on topics that don’t affect every American. Yes, LGBTQ rights are important, but it’s hard for people to care about that when they have to work two jobs and are still barely able to survive. The same goes for women’s reproductive rights not even all women in the U.S. care enough about this issue to vote, so how can they expect to rally men around it? Similarly, with student loan relief, those who paid off their loans by being frugal are going to feel bitter about others receiving relief while they lived a basic life to pay theirs off as quickly as possible. And the list goes on. Issues like raising the minimum wage, fair taxation based on income, free healthcare, nationwide improvements in education with free meals for kids-these are topics that everyone can get behind. But instead, the Democrats built their campaign around issues that primarily affect minorities. I also believe the majority of Americans don’t want their tax money being used to provide free healthcare for Israelis while funding the killing of children with American taxpayer money.

Exactly. We're working harder than ever, and making less real money than ever before in this country. Our leaders are allowing this to happen, election after election.

I would have agreed some years ago. Third party from the left will ONLY HELP THE REPUBLICANS stay in perpetual power. They have redistricted and gerrymandered their way to power. The Electoral College gives them a shot nationally. Even "red states" maintain their state legislatures by clustering all black, brown, and poor working class voters into 2 or 3 districts. Then there's the billionaire-funded voter suppression, purging voter roles, archaic anti-voting laws like ID requirements, no mail-in ballots, etc. Billionaires fund both parties, to be sure. However, if billionaires were restricted or if donations to PACS were eliminated - the Democrats would survive, not the GOP. The US is a plutocracy. Corrupt and at the end of a broken economic system. We live under a neofeudalist two-tiered economic hellscape. If we start peeling votes from the Democratic Party, we will all be doomed to something similar to the Handmaid's Tale. Don't doubt it for a second.

What he says here is spot on, and why his campaigns were undermined -by both parties. No way the super ultra uber rich billionaires would allow it.
The issue is that he can't offer a real solution to this. If the government taxes the corporations more, we'll still be paying for it. We're literally stuck in a system that no matter what the politicians do, we the people get screwed over. If they tax the rich, they don't give it back to us. If they tax the rich, the rich will charge more for everything. If they artificially raise our wages, the rich will charge more for everything. We're stuck. Bernie is correct about the problem, but he doesn't have a solution for it, and neither does anyone else.

@@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists Kudos. Not many will get that.
because they have too much power
Trump redirected the anger to the immigrants, and away from the ollagarks, and billionaires.
However are the oligarchs and billionaires that bring immigrants in the first world in order to pay them cheap wages (thus reducing the wages of the local workers) and keep the supply of resources of the third world constant by removing poor population and bringing them to the first world (reduction of probability for revolutions). The people voted for Trump for keeping their jobs and having some law and order. But both political parties have the same plan for the populace: its destruction.
exactly right
Precisely. “Find a scapegoat and fixate on it”. So it was about immigrants, borders, etc., rather than the greedy people at the top, who supported Trump bc he is going to make them MORE wealthy. I suppose a billion doesn’t go as far as it used to?!?
immigration is a huge issue. a bigger issue is the government having control of the currency and being able to debase it and set interest rates.
@@rhysfridays3871 who else are you going to give control over the currency than the government? There's not really another way to do it, because whoever is setting the control of the currency might as well be the government for all intents and purposes.

Billionaires should not exist. No one needs that much money.
When i did the economics 101 unit at university decades ago, we were taught that, under the theories of capitalist economics ‘competition’ would prevent excess profits. Which meant that, technically, billionaires shouldnt exist under capitalist economics, because competition should whittle prices and profits to a minimum. Even my professors teaching that unit openly stated the theory underlying our economic system was false - because those conditions never exist in the real world.
We live in a system, worldwide, that is a gigantic lie. And once again, people are starting to see the lie very clearly. The question is, how do we change the system peacefully, before it collapses violently, as it has done so many times before throughout history. Democracy should mean we can peacefully change this, but the unjust economic system has reached out to prevent even that.

Youre an idiot if you think its that simple. What about 1911 and the establishment of the federal reserve. Interest rates no longer being set by the free market?

If there's a minimum wage, then by logic's sake, there ought to be a maximum wage
If by maximum wage you also mean money earned through non-salary/non-hourly/non-tip means such as stock options, etc., then yes -- if you don't put a cap on that, then the rich just jack up prices until they get minimum wage earners back down to grinding poverty. This is not theoretical -- they're already doing it. Because wealth isn't just about Greed -- it's also about Envy.

If the Democrats had campaigned on these issues, they would have won, but they’re too afraid of upsetting their wealthy donors. Instead, they chose to focus on topics that don’t affect every American. Yes, LGBTQ rights are important, but it’s hard for people to care about that when they have to work two jobs and are still barely able to survive. The same goes for women’s reproductive rights not even all women in the U.S. care enough about this issue to vote, so how can they expect to rally men around it?
Similarly, with student loan relief, those who paid off their loans by being frugal are going to feel bitter about others receiving relief while they lived a basic life to pay theirs off as quickly as possible. And the list goes on. Issues like raising the minimum wage, fair taxation based on income, free healthcare, nationwide improvements in education with free meals for kids-these are topics that everyone can get behind.
But instead, the Democrats built their campaign around issues that primarily affect minorities. I also believe the majority of Americans don’t want their tax money being used to provide free healthcare for Israelis while funding the killing of children with American taxpayer money.

@Endoterrestrials comrade we need to unite the entire left as we have been shown that the workers need a mass party diverse in ideology but united by guiding principles and must advocate for all proletariat and not just be another group that is part of the bourgeois culture war
Progress, Unity, Democracy and Socialism
As a Leninist we must unite the groups and run locally as DSA can't do the work alone and many just run as Democrats so we need to form a workers party
Like if the Socialist groups merge with communist and syndicalist groups and appeal to the rural communities and all people then we have a fighting chance against capitalism
From a comrade to another please take this advice and put it into action
@@daniellovestortoises3044 DSA voted this year to break from the democrats. I have the same concerns as you, but I believe the current direction of the DSA is one of a new party and leftist unity.
'' When the axe came into the woods, many of the trees voted for it because they thought that its handle was one of them.'' Turkish proverb. This is what we saw at the last election. People who voted against their own interests, ie, poor people who voted for Republican billionaires.
I wonder why do they need more and more money? What do they do with it? Nothing will ever change only to get worse!
Good question. I like Bernie but I have never given a dime to any politician and I never will. And I wouldn't even consider giving him money. They already get more than enough money from their donor class to buy what they want. My thin wallet will not vote loudly enough since the supreme court decided that money is free speech.
Stop buying from and Bankrupt their businesses. Buy & make what you need and want, locally. Do this in less and less concentric circles outward like ripples on a pond. Follow the money ( the corrupt monies are tied to politics through religion and fear mongering war & resource exploitation) and disconnect. So stopping the resupplying of those ripples.
Also get in front of everything you want by advocating its toughest & most sincerely self accountable & reliable action.
In example: Women (and men) need to write abortion rights and law to most basic human distinction, between lawfully take action and medicinally, dont cut healthy flesh or break hypocratic oath. Because of viability, without womb of mother, public wants stronger law distinguishing from technologically antiquated Roe v. Wade.
Choice conscious Women and Men should write that Civil Rights Act with Ob/Gyn experts. Not religious and willfully ignorant who dont understand the anatomy or medical practice.
After a certain dollar amount that money translates to power. So they are gaining power- which is what all narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths want.
If jeff baseo took the money he spent for him to go to space for 10 minutes he could have gave Every Amazon employee $75,000.00 each and still had money left over. But him being able to tell people he had went to space is more valuable than people having homes.
Let that sink in. My goodness. I swear, if you presented these numbers like that to people they would get angry and rightly so instead of idolizing these morons.
Corporations can still make profit and pay workers well. It's just against what they believe they deserve, disgusting.
The old tax scheme had corporate income taxed so high, that it was more profitable to increase employee wages and benefits than it was to have that be reported as earnings. Shockingly, the middle class thrived, and we became a powerhouse economy.
In England businesses must try to maximise profits by law! It is a legal requirement. If they don't, they can be sued.
@@ianoliver3130 its the same here
Deny! Depose! Defend! Come on everybody
Don't do that. That's how you end up on watchlists.
How bout Oppose? We need an opposition not a resistance to the convicted idiot coming to office.
Most of em fell into the money. Right place right time, now we all suffer because of their greed.
Thank you so much for the "Good Fight" Mr. Sanders. We need so many more like you.
Thank you, Bernie!
I do wonder what the timeline where Sanders won the primary and the election in 2016 looks like.
The Associated Press (led by 3 journalists) strategically announced that Hillary Clinton had already wrapped up the delegate count for the Democratic nomination, on the eve of the June California Democratic Primary. That news article was published by the Wall Street Journal evening edition, at exactly 8pm PST ( for prime-time news outlets) the night before the primary, and the record-setting pre-primary registration of young voters that spring, actually resulted in the 2nd lowest voter turnout in modern California election history, giving Hilary Clinton the victory. The Associated Press/Wall Street Journal announcement the night before was perfectly orchestrated, giving Hilary Clinton the primary win, with the largest batch of state delegates to the Democratic Convention.
Hey back in the early oughts we could of had Nader. Then the DNC convinced liberal America never to try and do anything democratic ever again
Its probably either the same as this one. Or way way way worse. Most of his economic ideas do not track math. Meaning what he thinks will happen. And what he thinks will help you... doesn't hold up o what he believes. Itll make things worse. Be glad he lost.
Check it out yourself. Its all 6th grade math. Most of what he says economically is complete and total nonsense.
@@pdxmusl1510 Which is why other countries are able to do these things that are "complete and total nonsense."
@@pdxmusl1510how do those clown shoes fit you? They look pretty comfy
Pre-Reagan: Wealthy people paid 70% in taxes.
Post-Reagan: Wealthy people pay 28% in taxes.
SCREAM IT BERNIEEEEEE! WE’RE ANGRY! The smart people are angry and aren’t giving up. We are CONTINUING to support our greatest politician ever in you, and we WILL get our messages across! IDGAF IF IT TAKES ANOTHER 60 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR DREAM IS REALIZED BERN! For everyone, whether they realize they want it finally or don’t realize it yet. We all, 100% of Americans, want what you can give us; it’s just a large marjority of us don’t know it yet bc no one with an important and loud enough voice cares to help you educate them Bernie. Well I care, and I always will. Thank you for always inspiring this lowly Nebraskan kid, and don’t stop fighting citizens united, fighting for the PRO act, fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, for unions, for workers, for families, just thank you
Amen and God Bless good sir
Well said Bernie!!
You’re right, a lot of us are angry. The issue is we lack politicians who showcase that same level of angry and channel it. You need to run on these populist ideas and attack relentlessly the other side and any opposition saying they’ll never do it. When they say they will call them out, tell them I dare you to do it because you won’t. Force them into a difficult position. When they halve measure call them out say to everyone I told you they wouldn’t do it. And if they actually do it guess what? You outplayed and got something accomplished because they towed to the political theater. Be more aggressive
That old Native American proverb springs to mind. You know, the one that finishes with "money cannot be eaten".
Not an “old Native American proverb” but a quote from a particular Abenaki man who was interviewed in the 1970s.
@@Porook You mean an Abenaki Indian?
Exactly. We're working harder than ever, and making less real money than ever before in this country. Our leaders are allowing this to happen, election after election.
In a capitalist economy, you don't get rich by "working hard"
You get rich by "owning things-capital". Be it property, care homes, shares, services.etc.
Money makes money. You are exploited if you only have your labour to sell.
Senator Sander's, I implore you sir, to take this last chance to formally establish a worker's party. If the same uber wealthy, sold-out SOBs are still running things in the Democratic party, a whole lot more of us are going to vote for more of the Trump insanity.
america cannot break out of the 2 party system. Auxiliary parties are doomed to fail, that's why Sanders tried to run as the democratic party presidential candidate, since he knew it was his only opportunity to change things.
There are workers parties in the US. But you will never hear of them because the billionaire media giants will never give them airtime, funding support or newspaper space. Jill stein wasn't even allowed to participate in the party leaders debate on TV!- because she didn't command 25 percent of the electoral vote!- I wonder why!!!
@sammxn Sanders has done his job. The fact you have resigned yourself to a two party system is all the establishment wants, and Bernie is allowed to speak the way he does because ultimately he’ll convince people like you to vote blue no matter who.
@@worker-wf2em I'm not even american. I am just telling it how it is and explaining the situation which will not change. I think you should reflect on why my comment upset you, since I was just making an observation and wasn't even stating an opinion.
Man, we could pay off our national debt with that 50 trillion dollars
We need more people like him in politics who actually represent us
I don’t agree with Bernie at all on 99% of things but I like that he’s not afraid to speak the truth
Well as of yesterday there's one less CEO that will be stealing our money .
Thats not the solution.
@@pdxmusl1510 No, it's just one step towards it.
Yup, that will definitely cause the company to change and not just hire a replacement.
Justice was not served.
@@Gandhi_Physique Yes it was. Justice is personal. Aim Better.
Your anger is understandable, but your approval of one of the highest levels of violence is disappointing.
Do I particularly care about this person? No, I don't know him. Does this accomplish anything? No, he'll be replaced. If this is the path we choose to walk, there are more effective means of changing a company. His action is but a pittance compared to what would have to happen, but there arent many that could live with themselves doing it.
Tax the rich.
As work trickles down, money trickles up.
Ya I'll listen to a guy that's a million air with multiple vacation homes ,about transferring of wealth. He's a public servant that make less money a yr than me. He's a crook.
STOP ORDERING AMAZON PACKAGES!
You have inspired a generation Bernie!
Thank you for your political consistency and commitment to the american people.
People are ANGRY, especially women! I have turned off all social media because WHO DO YOU THINK OWNS SOCIAL MEDIA? Pitting one American against another when the real enemies are the millionaires in this country, safe in their bunkers. What sport! I will be buying my Christmas gifts from individuals, mostly women.
We were told in the 1980s by Reagan and followers that if all that money would go to the top they would use it to provide jobs and increased standard of living for the working class. We got a trickle. They got a massive amount.
Even back then I knew that was a joke. Nobody willingly gives up money.
Lucky you. I got nothing. Was your trickle yellow?
Like any pyramid scheme it doesn't work that way because it is ultimately a grift and a scam
We have a $7 minimum wage that has not changed in decades, wait staff relies on tips since the basic hourly wage is $2, working people can't afford daycare or rent or healthcare. Meanwhile the price of gas and groceries goes up while the rich and famous flaunt their expensive cars and homes and fly around the world in private luxury jets.😢
And also funnel money into politics so the politicians will give them tax breaks. Why are we not angrier?
You know, _every_ insurance company has a CEO...
Well, Trump surely is not the answer. But they are too stupid to realize this. 😮
Each individual has to come up with the answer. You sure won’t find it in D.C.
I know, I know’ Kamala would have been the best choice, she has demonstrated how to manage hundreds of millions/billions😅😅
I’m not going to show sympathy for the turkeys that voted for thanksgiving when their on the chopping block, I’m only going to show sympathy for those who saw the writing on the wall and tried to vote against this.
The problems we have are caused by Democrats thats the facts if you were educated you would know that
@ultimatewinfestation7194 then you are saying that you realize Democrats are the bad guys , proven fact
Thank you, Bernie, for explaining the TRUTH! You are the man.
the truth is what you dont want to face...99% cant do what the 1% do..
We allowed this oligarchy to take over.
THE GOAT SPEAKS!
Let's go, Bernie. Third party
I would have agreed some years ago.
Third party from the left will ONLY HELP THE REPUBLICANS stay in perpetual power.
They have redistricted and gerrymandered their way to power. The Electoral College gives them a shot nationally.
Even "red states" maintain their state legislatures by clustering all black, brown, and poor working class voters into 2 or 3 districts.
Then there's the billionaire-funded voter suppression, purging voter roles, archaic anti-voting laws like ID requirements, no mail-in ballots, etc.
Billionaires fund both parties, to be sure. However, if billionaires were restricted or if donations to PACS were eliminated - the Democrats would survive, not the GOP.
The US is a plutocracy. Corrupt and at the end of a broken economic system. We live under a neofeudalist two-tiered economic hellscape.
If we start peeling votes from the Democratic Party, we will all be doomed to something similar to the Handmaid's Tale. Don't doubt it for a second.
Just listen to that maniac Vance speak, listen to a Peter Thiel interview or Tom Homan. These people are ideological maniacs.
2028 Bernie !
He should consider running green.
I heard a rumor he wants to start a new party? Did anyone else hear about this?
I wonder if Bern would give up his wealth. After all he owns at least 3 houses. Or is it them but not me as all politicians.
Americans dont bother to vote, Dont know thier state reps, local councilor, congressman, senator and sometimes president. Dont care to learn about policies, money or the economy. Dont care to learn American history. Know more about celebrities than policies affecting their lives. Vote against thier own interests. But lets blame anybody else but us. We have to accept some blame for where we are.
Yes, more fun clicking on a dramatic gossip clickbait than read a boring article about policy 😔
Thank you, Bernie.
Once again Senator Sanders defines the prevailing mood in America.Biden failed to call out the greed of big corporate and so was blamed for inflation.Trump will be far,far worse on this issue but will propagandize is low information supporters that their financial interests are being hurt by those whose survival depends on government support.
Thank you Bernie
Back in the day, the French had a quick and easy solution.
Let me tell you, it was not quick or easy...
This will not change, and it will only get worse

We were robbed ,,Billionaires hate Bernie because He is in the right
Mine also
Reality: Nope.
@@DanteSimoncini Thank you for doing your part to boost engagement on this video so that more people will see it! All of your comments are helpful to spreading the message.
@@zoyadulzura7490 You're welcome but what does this have to do with my reply?
"3 people have more wealth than the bottom 50%"
That statistic alone should make EVERY American wake up to what is happening to them.
These are the people who get tax cuts from republicans.
And one of them, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet has been appointed with task of arranging "Efficiency savings" in the next government. We had that in the UK under the last Tory government. It means slashing government spending on things like the NHS, welfare benefits for the vulnerable, public roads maintenance, social care,etc. Austerity,in other words.
And yet the wages in America are probably the highest in the world on average (excepted maybe Switzerland), that's how crazy the cost of life is here.
With Bernie 🎉
Bernie is the best thing that could have been. What a missed opportunity. The Monopoly game won.
It can't end with Bernie, or else this country is literally doomed. We need more people like him in politics.
No... burnie is just telling you what yoy want to hear. Its not based on facts or reality. Hes as much of a liar s all the others. Probably more. He just tells lies you want to here.
If you do the math on what he says. Ive found 90% of what he says to be wrong.
@@pdxmusl1510 You've never done the math, and that 90% figure you pulled out of your ass.
He needs to retire to ONE OF HIS 5 HOMES - which the AMERICAN population paid for ! This guy has never worked a day in his life !
Investing in real estate is not a crime. It's a luxury you wish you had. Don't be angry because someone worked hard.
How many golf courses does he own?
Your inability to reason is troubling.
He's trying to fix things for you. For us. And you don't want to hear it.
Enjoy your poverty. It's what you're fighting for.
Meanwhile, he's fighting to give you something better. And you continue to hate.
I wish I had paid more attention to Bernie in the past. He is so right, now we have a dictator as a president. I am partly to blame although I never voted for Trump or his surrogates and never will.
Bernie 2016 was a missed opportunity, just like 2024, we have elected the wrong person
Those were not elections, they were selections. Just like 2000.
And it started with Reaganomics.
Thank you Bernie for speaking the truth!!!!
