Bernie Sanders logic: There are five people in the room, one has $5 and the rest have nothing. The person with the $5 should give everyone else $1 so that everything is equal. Aka he is for thievery. The people with nothing need to get a job and earn their money instead of asking for handouts from the wealthy. Success is not a curse. It is a blessing. Capitalism works. Socialism is a failure.

Under Bernie, just because I went to Harvard undergrad, then to Harvard Medical school and spent nearly $400k on my education I should just give my services for a low price because healthcare should be a right not a privilege. I should then pay higher taxes so those who are less successful than me benefit from my earnings.

Idiocy personified.

Under Bernie, others would have the same opportunities you do. Instead of the poor being the ones who are cursed, the poor are the ones who don't work hard enough.

France pays for all college tuition much like Bernie suggests and college grads in France have a 23% unemployment rate.

Meanwhile in the US there are countless stories of people going from rags to riches ... Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Ben Carson, Kevin Garnett, Chris Gardner, etc..

Trump has yet to tweet one word about our 4 brave dead soldiers killed in Niger. He has tweeted plenty about the NFL and NBC. But nothing about the KIA's

Cccp logic: Why should I donate too charity? Just because I am sucessful in not getting cancer means that I am privledged?

Why should I have to pay more taxes? Just because I am sucessful means that I should pay more taxes than the lazy? They should have to pay the majority of the taxes!

Why should I tip? The waitress should get a better job. It's their fault that the owners of the resteraunt don't pay them minimum wage.

The ratio of rags to riches and the ratio of people who never made it out of poverty is towards the latter. They are exceptions to the rule.


Think more like Finland.

Why are they the exception? Did they get some special chances or did they just work harder than the rest?

Nice try lefty. No one ever said anything about Charity. That is someone's right to donate if they so choose not forced by the Govt. If I make $100 and you make $10 and we both pay 20% then I pay $20 and you pay $2. I still pay more taxes. Why charge me 70%? Tip again is a choice not a forced action. You are losing this debate and badly.

Don't compare the US to the Nordic Countries who are for the most part homogeneous and pay next to nothing for military spend or innovation. What was the last innovative tool created by Finland. If you recall, Iceland recently went bankrupt.

Again if I get a medical degree from Harvard why should I be forced to give my services away for cheap. If I am a master plumber I charge what I want but as a MD I cannot? Illogical lefty nonsense.

Not rags to riches left but poor to middle class, there are 1000s of examples. I work with two persons like that now. They were Dems too and now have joined the GOP full blast. I remain an independent only because I am pro choice and I do not like how some corporations treat their long term employees. Other than that I have nothing in common with the Dems.
