Rich guy complains he's not rich enough

[Stradling]

That he isn't capable of creating wealth despite being in his prime years for a very long time, while making a lot of money for a very long time. Yet we want to make him president, and hope that whatever he puts into place won't prevent us from being prosperous, something he isn't even capable of doing for himself.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Maybe he isn't interested in being rich.

What a concept.

[Stradling]

Ok. Then he has some awesome spending habits.

[Adam]

He's a mooch. He says batshit things and holds batshit positions because young people are batshit crazy and will allow him to continue his parasitical lifestyle.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Again, how can you make that assumption without knowing all the facts?

This is such a stupid argument, and one of the dumbest threads you guys have come up with yet.

[Adam]

I'd be defensive too if Bernie were my messiah

[Tank]

Oh I just wanted to emphasize the point you guys conveniently ignore.

Nothing more.

LOL.

Do as I say, not as I do.

[Stradling]

He's just another guy. He says different things, but he is the same as the rest. I wouldn't vote for him because I am not in favor of increasing wealth distribution.

[Make Angels Great Again]

You guys are pretty cynical.

[nate]

I'm glad you think your posts are worthy enough to quote yourself. You should add a like to them as well.

 

Haha!  Well done

Speaking for myself, I am not a cynical person, ask anyone that follows me on the main board. I have just seen his payroll tax idea, and quite frankly, on that alone he can go **** himself. I find it incredibly offensive to ask me for even more money, just so it can fund programs that I don't really believe in. Not to mention they get enough of our money, manage it better. Not sure Bernie can manage it better when he isn't capable of doing it himself.

You guys are pretty cynical.

And you're young and idealistic, just as we were (in varying degrees). Nothing wrong with that.

What you lack is real world/life experience, something all of us have. You'll understand better once you're out on your own and working hard to earn your pay, and some politician comes along who wants to take more and more of your cash while making grand promises of how his plan will fix a lot of life's inequities (which it won't).

[Make Angels Great Again]

Fair enough.

I happen to see that taxes are actually at the lower end historically, so we'll disagree there.

Not even gonna address your last sentence.

[Tank]

You will at some point.

[Spirit]

Again, how can you make that assumption without knowing all the facts?

Hey! I left open the possibility that he has a gambling, hooker and/or cocaine problem.

[Adam]

At least the socialist economists still like him

[Blarg]

You guys are pretty cynical.

at least we are not all that gullible.

Speaking if that, I miss gullibleguy.

[nate]

Just going to leave this here

[halobob]

Haha, that was an entertaining 10 minutes.  Thanks AJ and AFL!

People like their own posts will never not be funny.

The fact that you haven't liked this is the biggest fail this forum has ever seen.

[Spirit]

Maybe we've talked enough about Bern is a rich white guy who doesn't like to share his wealth, while wanting others to do so.  

 

Maybe we should look at what he paid in taxes.  The guy made over $200k and paid an effective tax rate of 13.5%!  This is the guy bitching about corporations taking advantage of tax loopholes.  

 

Pretty appropriate that his initials are BS.

LOL at this thread - it has revealed just how deep the idiocy goes. I can't take it anymore - you guys win.

Cool but before you go can you please respond to Geoff's post about 13.5% tax rate and if you think that is ok for a person making $200k.
