I haven't seen a Communist take a beating like this since Rocky IV. (I stole that line.)

Anyone calling Bernie Sanders a socialist doesn’t know the meaning of the word.Anyone who thinks Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark or most of Western Europe are socialist do not know what socialism is.Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Every one of those countries listed have successful private enterprise corporations who are as thoughtless and careless and lacking social conscience as any in the US. The difference between the aforementioned nations and the US is a solid social safety net including healthcare and the governments are secular. Laws are also in place to prevent government from gerrymandering and rigging elections. Gun crime is minimal.People still fall through the cracks and of course nothing is perfect... but there is no denying these nations are safer to live and generally have happier citizens.Sanders is not a socialist..Post edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0 -

He no longer has any possible chance of victory in this race unless he starts to address the details.His eminence has yet to show.

Once again, Canada’s healthcare system is not perfect and needs work, but I am proud that a homeless person can seek medical attention if needed. Most of whom have serious mental illness.Post edited by 1ThoughtKnown on0 -

If you are referring to Amazon the company not paying any taxes well sadly that is nothing but the MSM filling your brain with whatever filler they want to get you to think the way they want you to.
Let high level this for everyone:
Amazon has a huge book profit.
Book profit doesn't equal tax profit.
Amazon issues a ton of stock options to their employees.
You get a tax deduction for those stock options because the employee pays the tax on those options at ordinary rates so the government actually gets more money then if Amazon the corporation paid the tax on them at 21%.
Amazon also has a lot of federal NOLs from all those years of not turning a profit.
The combination of those two are the reason they pay little federal tax federal tax as a company.0 -

But seriously, that flew over most of the people’s heads here. They just don’t get it yet it is all Trumps fault. Even though the tax code hasn’t changed much the last 30 years.91 - Ames Iowa CY Stephens Auditorium

Hey Ed, if you're still supporting Bernie, I got a great tune for you.
And a dominant song in a genre you're making a courageous effort to contribute to.http://youtu.be/_Xlkla4Jrbk
