How about this?  Who do you think owns a majority of businesses with 15 employees? 

 

Or the estate tax which would level many middle income folk and steal their inheritance.

 

Or his policy of taxing every stock transaction.  Again, it is the middle class who can least afford this kind of crap.

 

It is easy to say the rich but the bottom line is that the money Bernie needs to do everything he wants will have to come from the backs of the middle class because that is where the money is.

[Adam]

Again, it isn't terribly complicated or difficult to increase one's wealth. It is primarily a matter of motivation. 

[mtangelsfan]

Bernie wants to make that harder. 

 

He wants to take from my charities and give the money to his charities.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Anyone who plans on raising taxes is going to hurt the middle class.  We've seen time and time again when the solution is to try and "tax the rich" and the middle class gets screwed the most.   

[Adam]

I imagine that any one of the posters on this board, if motivated, could go out and increase their monthly income by $2000 per month.

 

Anyone think that isn't achievable?

By placing tiny little ads in the back of newspapers...

Sounds like everybody we elect

Good for him. It isn't like the Dem Establishment is representative of his views or positions. 

[Jay]

Agree. I like that there are some people out there on both sides who are challenging the establishment.

[TobiasFunke]

He should have done that from the beginning, and a lot of his supporters were questioning why he was running as a Dem.

Sanders has made it clear he won't run as a 3rd party candidate

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he will not run for president as an Independent if he falls short in his bid to secure the Democratic 2016 nomination.

 

Speaking at the Newseum in Washington on Thursday, Sanders said that if he ran a third-party campaign, it would draw support away from the Democratic nominee, potentially handing Republicans the White House.

 

“I would not want to be responsible for electing some right-wing Republican president,” Sanders said.

 

However, Sanders, an Independent and self-described socialist who caucuses with Democrats in the Senate, acknowledged that it was something he considered.

 

“As I was contemplating what I’d do, one decision I had to make was, there were a lot of people telling me to run as an Independent,” Sanders said. “They said the Republican Party is an extreme right-wing party, and the Democratic Party is too conservative, too cozied-up to big money … and that I should run outside of the two party system.”

 

“I thought about it,” Sanders said. “But I reached the decision … that the only way at this particular moment in history that we could run an effective campaign was within the Democratic primary and caucus system.”

What a difference a month makes

"ED KLEIN CONFIDENTIAL has learned that the Vermont socialist is poised to declare a third party quest for the presidency."

 

 

Come on!  If you can't trust ED KLEIN CONFIDENTIAL, who can you trust?

[red321]

Yes...I'm sure that's the case Jay....even though he has stated since the day he announced he would not run as a third party candidate...he has suddenly changed his mind and strategically leaked it to Ed Klein.

[juansavage1]

I asked before what the policy differences are between Sanders and any other liberal Dem. There aren't any. Sanders appeals to very liberal white college students and others who are overtly ideological because Sanders is overtly ideological. Clinton is as liberal, but like most politicians hides her ideology and pretends that she's just solving problems. So, overtly ideological liberals prefer somebody who is a proud leftist.

He's the piodeportes of political reporting.

He's the Walter Cronkite (or as some people pronounce it, Jorge Ramos) of internet news.
