We're not angry that billionaires can't solve our problems. I'm angry that billionaires are buying our politicians and manipulating our laws and regulations in a ways that favor their corporate interests at the expense of small businesses, startups and people like myself. I'm angry that I was making minimum wage and struggling to feed myself and find shelter and 26% of my income was taken off of my paycheck before I received it for taxes and Social Security, but major corporations like Google pay nothing in taxes after deductions and corporations like ExxonMobil even get subsidies from the government meaning that my tax dollars were going to for-profit corporations that were running multibillion-dollar profits, while providing no tangible benefits to taxpayers in return for those subsidies. I'm angry that deals sit before Congress today that have 80-plus percent of the American public supporting them and they cannot even get voted on because billionaires have paid our politicians not to vote on them. I'm angry that net neutrality was canceled by billionaires whose opinions are apparently so much more important then ours even though we are the voters. And bankruptcy protections are going away for the same reasons. Our students are in so much debt that it is insane. They can't even declare bankruptcy on student loans at all. Thats why we're pissed off.
@Al S Just disagreeing with your world view doesn't make him unstable. People don't want billionaires buying elections. Not them and not now. It is bad enough they have bought off the political processes. That goes for both sides of the aisle. Trump would never have been elected but for his antiestablishment platform... Nor Obama running on a platform of 'change' (neither of whom delivered).
I always love when poor, run-of-the-mill nobodys' defend egotistical billionaire assholes because they think they have a chance of being egotistical billionaire assholes someday.
"Are we prepared to take on the enormous political power of the billionaire class or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy?" ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
Some Other Dude really? I don’t know man... confess that isn’t something I’ve done a ton of research on but nothing came of that investigation and “The allegations that Jane Sanders fraudulently helped secure a loan for the college were outlined in a letter to federal prosecutors by Brady Toensing, an attorney who was President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman in Vermont.”
I'm all for redistributing wealth, but we should use a system that hasn't failed in most countries that implement it. A wealth tax is fundamentally flawed and a VAT with UBI makes sense.
Dave Chapelle ... Um, okay, pretty sure he's just your average TV host bowing to his corporate overlords. Continuing the ridiculous rhetoric that Bernie is unlikable, sexist, racist, this, that, um .. did we mention that we don't like Bernie?
That man who shouted at Schultz is a hero, and we need someone to do the same at a Bloombucks appearance. I lived in NYC in those years. If you enjoy skyrocketing rents and more giveaways to the rich, vote Bloomberg.
Blaming Bloomberg for skyrocketing rent is kind of like blaming Trump for a particular person’s unemployment. Sure, they’re technically related in a bureaucratic and overcomplicated way, but expecting the leadership to directly engage in helping you solve your personal problem without any consideration for other issues is unreasonable. I’m not a fan of a bloomberg run despite my neutral-positive feelings on the guy, but he was pragmatic, decisive, and left a good legacy with a lot of people.
Bloomberg is fair game, but picking on Bill Gates is simply unfair. Gates has given billions to charities and hospitals, at one point giving 90 billion all at once. He’s a great man and deserves appreciation, not degradation.
@First Last Oh, and Trump supports sing and dance kumbaya with everyone, including democracts and minorities ? The alt-right and Trump supporters are the most vile and agressive peope in the country. At least progressives and Bernie want to fight for you and YOUR rights to healthcare and quality education. You just want everyone else to burn.

@@LastStitch Its not stealing, by applying taxes. A country cannot function without a government tax. And the billionaires who have made a profit on the prosperity and freedoms of said government, should pay their fair share.
The fact that they are all trying to cast their bids means that they are afraid, terrified that they will actually have to be held accountable. The system isn’t to far gone to be saved and changed for the better, and that is the most frightening thing to a person who uses the brokenness of that system to enrich themselves.
Bernie's routines isn't exactly "swim, go to the coop and go back home". It's more like, up at 5, swim, go to the coop, go to a roundtable with veterans, have lunch, radio Interview, staff meeting on legislative agenda, meet strikers on the picket line and fly to Iowa for a rally. The dude's only time where he wasn't canvassing the whole country was the week of vacation he took after his heart attack. He's not really the lazy stay at home type talking to none type.
So true. He keeps an intense schedule! Earlier in the campaign, he was doing multiple parades in one day (walking 8 or 9 miles!), then going to a rally & speaking, plus meetings, plus travel. I'm half his age and I couldnt keep that up. I have complete faith in his ability to run the country.
Did a quick dictionary search because I was genuinely curious and I think the word you're looking for is "screw". He screws his employees by not paying them a living wage. It's only vilify if he spoke or wrote about them in a abusive manner.
Vilifying is a horrible word choice and secondly if you want a living wage you better play the american game of capitalism or sit your ass on the curb!! You are free to a certain extent 🤷🏾♂️

Warren kinda fits that bill too, she's been fighting for what's right her whole life, just not always in public office. Guess that's the reason Warren and Bernie are pretty open about having each others back, they agree on so many things.
Bernie has a lot of good ideas but he needs to attack less industries and focus tax reform for billionaires to pay a little more, and not the middle class. If He tries to demonize bankers, contractors and landlords and other upper middle class people he won’t win. His idea to tax real estate so much that contractors can’t profit from buying and fixing homes to resell, it’s ridiculous and pandering to populous ire against the wrong target. Making money shouldn’t be the problem. The problem should be things like access to healthcare for all or billionaires paying tax fair tax rates and not rates below the middle class.
@First Last It's a 2% tax. If 2% of your total assets is a billion dollars, ALL of your assets would be 50 billion dollars, total. Yeah, you wouldn't have that in a checking account. You would have it in stock. You'd have to sell stock. You'd still have 49 billion dollars, and presumably be doing whatever caused you to earn 50 billion dollars in the first place. Don't you think they have to sell stock to make payments pretty regularly? You aren't making money on a checking account, so they wouldn't keep much money in one. If you did not know, the wealth tax only cuts in at (IIRC) 100 million. That's still REALLY rich.

It's actually another subtle part of the overall #BernieBlackout . Trying to equate Bernie and Warren first (they are definitely *not* the same) allows them to only talk about Warren as if things like Medicare for All and taking on extreme wealth inequality are somehow her ideas.

@@someotherdudeIn a strong democracy, you can elect a bad leader and have the opportunity to correct your mistake. And the US constitution even provided a mechanism specifically for that purpose -- impeachment. The fact that Trump can call impeachment "unconstitutional" and have a large percentage of the population believe him is a strong indication that American democracy is no longer strong. And if Trump manages to weasel his way out of impeachment given all of the evidence of multiple impeachable offenses from both the Mueller report and the recent "perfect" phone call, it probably is a strong indicator that American democracy is not only weakened, but effectively dead.
@@altrag contrary to Republican opinion, Liberals are Patriots too. What has that got to do with your comment ? The right casts all opposing views as unpatriotic and anti American. Not true. We on the left simply view someone assaulting the Constitution as a threat to our Democracy, and we seek to do something about it. When this is finally all over and a balanced government returns where working together to form a more perfect union is the common goal, we must do something about gerrymandering, Superdelegates, Citizens United and that internal policy which suggests that a sitting president can't be indicted.

They are worried because a Wealth Tax on the Rich will not work and will actually hurt the middle class instead. Wealthy folks can just move to another country and change citizenship without worry. I'm sure any country would gladly take Bill Gates's 10-20 billion dollars in taxes any day.

I think that she would run circles around Trump, specially in debates, because she is so fast and focused and he is not.

Whilst the Bill and the rest of billionaires can easily get by without a care in the world and only contribute through charities they seem worthy.
@Jib Jabs oh really tell that to Elon Musk, Goldman Sachs, Jeff Bezos, Saudi Royal Family, The Glazers, Mark Zuckerberg, The Waltons, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, Shiek Mansur and a whole host of other billionaires and trillionaires who hoard wealth and distributes little to their countries economy only when it benefits them i.e. more wealth because wealth = power. Bill can afford to pick and choose which charity he wants solely because he has an exobitant amount of money that can surpass 3 - 4 family generations, he's set. Look at the current political climate, middle class is shrinking with little to no opportunity to rise up from their status and make it. You have to ask yourself why is the system setup that way? Who makes the rules? Who gains the most from these rules and system? It's always the ones with the most wealth because again money = power, with money you can influence governments, economy, education and health to a large degree, I'm not saying all wealthy people are selfish, greedy sobs but I'm pointing out to a system where it's messed up where a majority of the populace have little opportunity to gain because the few with the capital and the most amount of resources control and manipulate the control mechanisms in place for the majority of the populace to gain some semblance of quality living.
@Jib Jabs I agree, Gates is not out of touch, he's just awkward. The guy funds malaria vaccines, microlending, clean water... his working life is dedicated to helping poor people. There are plenty of b'aires to mock, why not pick a mean one, instead of one of the kindest men in America?
@Jib Jabs Hey, guess, what ? Others could give to chart=ity too and the government could give more if it wasn't all going to these guys so geez, how nice of them to do something for society.
@Jib Jabs Well, actually the wealthy are ruining it too. You don't think Microsoft has lucrative government contracts ? One of the things too is the current job works program we have with the out of control defense budget (It is HALF of the budget - everything else crammed in the other half, so consider that) and yet no accounting has been required by the Pentagon before Congress hands out funds to it (which tRump stole some for his wall, putting long due projects like base school updating etc. on hold. The wall that has been sawed through by a $ 100 saw too) . That one Inspector General's report found that they wasted 150 billion- and those contracts pay off for those initiating them, but if you call for defense cuts as a politician, like Bill Clinton, the right hammers you and you are accused of endangering the country.

@First Last Here's a way to understand why being a billionaire is way different than being a millionaire. If you made and saved $15,000 a day, it would take you just over 2 months to become a millionaire. It would take 182 years to become a billionaire. It would then take you 19,908 years to have as much as Jeff Bezos.
@First Last so you're just guessing how much Jeff Bezos has in actual money. And isnt that the same for Bernie. As in he doesnt actually have millions in cash, but in assets. The whole point is no one needs that much money, especially the owner of the company that makes billions, doesn't pay taxes, and until recently was subsidized by YOU the taxpayer because he did not pay his employees livable wages.
They already pay a huge proportion of the taxes that support government, and it's their money, presumably earned fair and square.

The Irish Italian Billionaires don’t creat millionaires and thats the problem. They dont spread their wealth enough to actually create much of anything after a point unless they actually go out of their way to. Most of the money gets tied up because at a point they literally cant spend anymore. What they tend to spend money on are things that are already owned BY billionaires and millionaires already. Its the buying populace that actually have the ability to make millionaires and billionaires but when they can only afford basic needs then the money they have floods from the company they work for, to larger companies that make the cheapest products. Making the largest companies richer but NOT lowering price of products. Smaller companies put more out into the economy percentage wise and that Percentage of movement is actually what we need to keep the economy flowing. When it gets clogged in one area then that money, for all the good it does, is not part of the economy.

I'm angry that deals sit before Congress today that have 80-plus percent of the American public supporting them and they cannot even get voted on because billionaires have paid our politicians not to vote on them.

Great talk, but his wife committed financial fraud to the tune of millions, while mismanaging a Vermont college into the ground.
Some Other Dude really? I don’t know man... confess that isn’t something I’ve done a ton of research on but nothing came of that investigation and “The allegations that Jane Sanders fraudulently helped secure a loan for the college were outlined in a letter to federal prosecutors by Brady Toensing, an attorney who was President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman in Vermont.”

Right... cause heckling is great and he caused rents to go up but rent controls did not. Do economics, not feelings.
Blaming Bloomberg for skyrocketing rent is kind of like blaming Trump for a particular person’s unemployment. Sure, they’re technically related in a bureaucratic and overcomplicated way, but expecting the leadership to directly engage in helping you solve your personal problem without any consideration for other issues is unreasonable. I’m not a fan of a bloomberg run despite my neutral-positive feelings on the guy, but he was pragmatic, decisive, and left a good legacy with a lot of people.

His idea to tax real estate so much that contractors can’t profit from buying and fixing homes to resell, it’s ridiculous and pandering to populous ire against the wrong target. Making money shouldn’t be the problem. The problem should be things like access to healthcare for all or billionaires paying tax fair tax rates and not rates below the middle class.

You'd still have 49 billion dollars, and presumably be doing whatever caused you to earn 50 billion dollars in the first place.
Don't you think they have to sell stock to make payments pretty regularly? You aren't making money on a checking account, so they wouldn't keep much money in one.
If you did not know, the wealth tax only cuts in at (IIRC) 100 million. That's still REALLY rich.

The extended roast of Bill Gates being out of touch is amazing
@Jib Jabs he is not fully aware of how hard middle to low income Americans live, especially given the increasing health care cost, educational costs and having to sort that out with minimal pay. Whilst the Bill and the rest of billionaires can easily get by without a care in the world and only contribute through charities they seem worthy.
@Jib Jabs oh really tell that to Elon Musk, Goldman Sachs, Jeff Bezos, Saudi Royal Family, The Glazers, Mark Zuckerberg, The Waltons, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, Shiek Mansur and a whole host of other billionaires and trillionaires who hoard wealth and distributes little to their countries economy only when it benefits them i.e. more wealth because wealth = power. Bill can afford to pick and choose which charity he wants solely because he has an exobitant amount of money that can surpass 3 - 4 family generations, he's set. Look at the current political climate, middle class is shrinking with little to no opportunity to rise up from their status and make it. You have to ask yourself why is the system setup that way? Who makes the rules? Who gains the most from these rules and system? It's always the ones with the most wealth because again money = power, with money you can influence governments, economy, education and health to a large degree, I'm not saying all wealthy people are selfish, greedy sobs but I'm pointing out to a system where it's messed up where a majority of the populace have little opportunity to gain because the few with the capital and the most amount of resources control and manipulate the control mechanisms in place for the majority of the populace to gain some semblance of quality living.
@Jib Jabs I agree, Gates is not out of touch, he's just awkward.
The guy funds malaria vaccines, microlending, clean water... his working life is dedicated to helping poor people.
There are plenty of b'aires to mock, why not pick a mean one, instead of one of the kindest men in America?
@Jib Jabs Hey, guess, what ? Others could give to chart=ity too and the government could give more if it wasn't all going to these guys so geez, how nice of them to do something for society.
@Jib Jabs Well, actually the wealthy are ruining it too. You don't think Microsoft has lucrative government contracts ? One of the things too is the current job works program we have with the out of control defense budget (It is HALF of the budget - everything else crammed in the other half, so consider that) and yet no accounting has been required by the Pentagon before Congress hands out funds to it (which tRump stole some for his wall, putting long due projects like base school updating etc. on hold. The wall that has been sawed through by a $ 100 saw too) . That one Inspector General's report found that they wasted 150 billion- and those contracts pay off for those initiating them, but if you call for defense cuts as a politician, like Bill Clinton, the right hammers you and you are accused of endangering the country.
US economy grew rapidly during the 50s and 60s in spite of the high marginal tax rates of 91% and 70% for the top earners. #BerniePres2020 #WarrenSoT

@First Last Here's a way to understand why being a billionaire is way different than being a millionaire. If you made and saved $15,000 a day, it would take you just over 2 months to become a millionaire. It would take 182 years to become a billionaire. It would then take you 19,908 years to have as much as Jeff Bezos.
@First Last so you're just guessing how much Jeff Bezos has in actual money. And isnt that the same for Bernie. As in he doesnt actually have millions in cash, but in assets. The whole point is no one needs that much money, especially the owner of the company that makes billions, doesn't pay taxes, and until recently was subsidized by YOU the taxpayer because he did not pay his employees livable wages.

Billionaires don’t creat millionaires and thats the problem. They dont spread their wealth enough to actually create much of anything after a point unless they actually go out of their way to. Most of the money gets tied up because at a point they literally cant spend anymore. What they tend to spend money on are things that are already owned BY billionaires and millionaires already.
Its the buying populace that actually have the ability to make millionaires and billionaires but when they can only afford basic needs then the money they have floods from the company they work for, to larger companies that make the cheapest products. Making the largest companies richer but NOT lowering price of products.
Smaller companies put more out into the economy percentage wise and that Percentage of movement is actually what we need to keep the economy flowing.
When it gets clogged in one area then that money, for all the good it does, is not part of the economy.
