Bernie Sanders' Lake House

Translation: I hate it when liberals have dough. I expect them all to be ascetics living in caves like Jains worshiping Siddartha. When one succeeds while trying to help others, it drives me nuts.

 

Gates created the company....he also spreads his wealth all over the place...through his foundation and private spending on homes, cars, etc

 

We could establish a legal line and over time that line might become definitive.

Oh, I think many judge wealth as immoral, period.

 

Bernie’s message isn’t against having nice things, it’s against systemic corruption that has ruled over Washington for decades.

There is no problem with making a good living. The problem comes with buying elections.

 

It's all one rigged Jewish play to make goyim look bad anyways. Evil goyim billionaire Donald Trump vs man of the people jew who wants to give everyone free stuff

 

I was hoping you would google those questions yourself to find the answers. But decided to post the answers for you, as I'm sure you won't bother doing the research.

<<< PART 1 of 2 >>>​

How much money did Trump inherit from daddy?

How many businesses has Trump bankrupted?

How many Trump business ventures failed?

How much debt is Trump in?

How much money did Trump borrow from banks, but lost within a span of less than a decade?

How many times has Trump been sued?

<<< END OF PART 1 of 2 >>>
​

 

<<< PART 2 of 2 >>>
​

How many times has he been fined for business fraud? What about charity fraud?

How many times has Trump stiffed his workers & contractors?

How many illegals has Trump hired (and also not paid)?

How many counts of conflicts of interest has Trump committed while in Office?

How much have taxpayers had to foot to pay for Trump's golf outings thus far?

<<< END >>>​

 

All you have to do is google Bernie's accomplishments and/or bio. It's all there. I've posted this stuff already elsewhere.

 

Already posted the proof for you. Do you know how to google?

 

Seven bills were enacted.

 

Bernie's passion has been politics from day one...so much so that he didn't care about living in squalor as he sought political office. All the while being poor, he also didn't sponge off govt welfare programs. He was never interested in money...but about seeking a meaningful pursuit in life.

Hell, anyone can flip burgers or be an office drone...which is what most people do...or even try to start a business. But how many out there are willing to live like a church mouse & to forgo the comforts of modern living as they diligently pursue a more meaningful existence?

 

He sponsored 7 bills that were enacted...not 3. What you need to understand is that it's not easy to get a bill passed...and it's especially difficult if the proposed bill/resolution/amendment is one that's progressive.

Considering the fact that most congressmen are pro-establishment corporate shills, it's far easier to get a bill passed that benefits the rich...and harder for one that benefits the working class. Bernie would have thousands of bills with his name on it were he able to get them passed.

Bernie has been very busy and earned his money in politics. He's sponsored/co-sponsored over 7100 bills/resolutions/amendments...and was even nicknamed "The Amendment King" for getting more amendments passed than any other congressman. He is trying...but he's up against strong opposition & resistance from every branch of govt.

 

Used the Quote tool to address these points since I want to try and resolve the appearance of hypocrisy.

Being wealthy is immoral if the wealth was derived by EXPLOITATION.

Being wealthy is moral if the wealth was derived WITHOUT exploitation.

Is Bernie an immoral hypocrite given that he has NOT exploited anyone to obtain his own modest measure of wealth? Must he sell his wife's lake house and give the money to those who are now HOMELESS because of the GREED and EXPLOITATION of those who are immoral?

Or is the answer to RAISE TAXES on the immoral WEALTH that was derived from EXPLOITATION that resulted in those people being homeless?

Bernie's position is CONSISTENT with his own lifestyle. He does not condemn those who have become wealthy through HONEST means. What he is advocating is the RETURN of the wealth that was dishonestly STOLEN from hardworking middle class Americans.

The single biggest driver of wealth INEQUALITY is INCOME inequality!

We the People need to REGULATE corporations so that EVERYONE who puts in an 8 hour day is paid a LIVING WAGE! That single regulation will end the CYCLE of EXPLOITATION that is the cause of our current problems.

A Living Wage ensures that hardworking Americans can afford to pay all of the bills in the area where they live AND be able to save for retirement and other expenses like college, etc, etc.

No one supports Living Wage regulations!

The taxes that Bernie will impose on the wealthy will provide for the things that make it possible to work for a living. People with children need affordable child care in order to be able to go to work. If they were paid a living wage that would be a bill that they could pay. But since they are NOT being paid a living wage using taxes on the wealthy to pay for affordable child care is the means by which we eliminate the INCOME INEQUALITY.

In essence no one will support any regulations that force corporations to pay living wages so the alternative is to tax the wealthy to supplement the pittance in wages that are being paid so as to achieve the same end goal.

You cannot force corporations to behave morally but you can use taxation to reset the IMBALANCE caused by corporate immorality.

Not a perfect solution but better than the current corporate death spiral of impoverishing the middle class.

 

Your forthright honesty is appreciated as is your willingness to be open minded and learn from others.

While I was focused on the explaining the basis for Bernie's position I did not deal with some of the disinformation that exists around his campaign and the "Bernie Bros".

Yes, there are some extremist Bernie supporters who are just as odious and embarrassing as those who support the criminal IMPOTUS. I do not condone either their inflammatory rhetoric or any violence they may engage in. They do NOT represent Bernie or his campaign.

That aside there is a massive amount of disinformation out there about Socialism and Bernie himself. There is even a slur about Bernie having a "child fetish" which is based upon something he wrote many decades ago about small children playing on a beach while naked. I can recall that was how I went to the beach as a small child. Norms and standards change over time and exhuming things like that and using them to cast aspersions on someone's character is both dishonest and disingenuous.

Socialism as understood during the Cold War is no longer around. What we have today is Social Democracy which embraces the positive aspects of socialism with the positive aspects of regulated capitalism. The claims that Bernie will turn our nation into another Venezuela are just hyperbolic fear mongering disinformation.

Bernie is far from perfect when it comes to being the choice for the next POTUS. I would much prefer Warren if I had to make the final determination but I don't. For all his many faults Bernie is way superior to the criminal IMPOTUS in every respect. Granted that is a low bar to get over but Bernie is clearing it by a significant margin.

To be brutally frank I will vote for ANYONE but the criminal IMPOTUS just to be rid of him. However I am comfortable enough with Bernie to not be in that situation. Get back to me if the DNC is dumb enough to try and screw Bernie over twice in a row.

 

The net worth of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, is not publicly known. Various news organizations have attempted to estimate Trump's wealth, including Forbes, which put it at about US$3.10 billion as of 10 February 2020.[1] Over the years, Trump's public declarations of his wealth have often been in the $50 billion range, far higher than contemporaneous estimates of it by news organizations.

 

What post #?

 

This is the link I used to come up with the 3 bills.

Laugh all you want, a socialist millionaire with three homes is as corrupt as it gets.

Yep, he’s got nothing done

 

No, you have no more reason to be worried about Bernie than those who worried that the criminal IMPOTUS would start WW3!

And that is an excellent example to use to explain why your worries are unfounded. There have had TWO occasions where the criminal IMPOTUS could have ignited a shooting war between ourselves and Iran. Both were as a result of his lack of understanding of the consequences of his impulses and his appalling lack of decision making skills and knowledge of how to deal with foreign nations.

In BOTH instances an armed conflict was avoided by those around him that managed to figuratively give him a time out while negotiating with their opposite numbers in Iran to avert the impending disaster.

While I doubt that Bernie has those same egregious shortcomings your concerns about his more "extreme socialism" will be dealt with in a similar manner. If he proposed something that would tank the stock market overnight and wipe out your retirement savings those around him would implement a similar time out strategy. They would tell him that they are going to take it under advisement and will come back with proposals that would be viable alternatives to achieve his goal WITHOUT the consequences of a tanked stock market and the wiping out of retirement 401k's.

TBH your 401k is in far more jeopardy from the unholy alliance between the Wall Street Casino Banksters and the fiscal malfeasance of the GOP. Had you been someone who was retiring at the end of 2008 you would have been effectively wiped out.

So, no, you have nothing to fear from that aspect of Bernie because one person does not get to change everything overnight.

What is far more likely to occur are what I call interim disruptions to the status quo. None of them will have long term negative impacts but they will result in a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Yes, some things must be changed but there won't be any dire consequences of the type that you are concerned about.

 

The FACTS prove you wrong again!
