  1. +Daniel Fisher When it grows wealth overall then that is actually good for the economy.

  2. +doubtingmantis Wealth does not equal income.

  3. +doubtingmantis If you want money out of politics then you have to get to the root of the problem, that is the federal government having too much power. That is exactly why the founding fathers created the constitution and would have opposed Bernie Sanders. FDR prolonged the recession turning into a depression. The Glass-Steagall repeal did not cause the recession. You hold government accountable by making it as local as possible, not expanding the federal government. Really, I find it crazy how Bernie Sander supporters think. They are complaining about the government so their solution is to expand it? Really?

  4. +doubtingmantis You don't have to listen to him. Bernie makes how much a year misleading the public? And he is funded by taxes.

  5. +doubtingmantis Bernie is a career politician. He never was able to keep an actual job except for being a politician which he got by just running his mouth. The fact that people buy into what he says shows how ignorant his supporters are. Take the "living wage" for example. The inherited flaw of the min. wage is that it is setting a standard on how much one pays per hour, not per week. So if the min. wage is set at $15/hr and someone only works 10 hours a week, are they earning an income high enough to live off of? They are earning a "living wage" according to Bernie. I find it amazing that Bernie's supporters don't question that idea and did not come up with the idea of abolishing wages and demanding a "living salary". But thinking that much will hurt their brains so "living wage" is all they can come up with. Bernie is all rhetoric, that is it. Another example is his "free college". He is literally lying or hiding something from the American people because $70 billion a year will not pay for it.

  6. +doubtingmantis I feel Bernie is a politician. He will spew rhetoric to get elected. If he even thinks he can get his policies passed with congress then he is crazy. And if they are passed, if he thinks they can actually work then he is even crazier. Around 2% of min. wage workers work full time. Raising the min. wage to $15/hr is not going to increase hours. His thinking on that is flawed. Corruption exist in government because of the power the federal government has. All a corporation can do is offer you a job or a product. It can't do anything by force. Government can. Money in politics is just a symptom of a disease. That disease is a federal government that has too much power. Increasing the power of the federal government is not going to help. Bernie himself may not be corrupt, but what about future politicians? "There is something wrong with our system when CEOs make on average 475 times more than their average worker," Not really. Look at the executives of Walmart. The top 6 executives of Walmart make a combine $77 million. If they were to take all of that money and give it to the 525,000 employees who earn less than $25,000 a year, they will earn an extra $147 a year. That is it. Those CEOs earn that much because they are in charge of that much. You are looking at the CEO pay compared to the pay of one employee instead of all of their employees. Cutting CEO pay has proven to not do anything to increase pay.

  7. +doubtingmantis Bernie is a one trick pony. It is attack the rich and free shit. That is it. He does not listen to anyone. I saw a video of him talking about student loans and how he has letters from people who are having a hard time paying them off. I sent him a letter showing my student loan debt and how I plan on paying it off and understood the risk when I got it. Of course he does not bring that up. " If Bernie becomes president, hopefully he will be able to inform a brainwashed public on what is really going on in the country.  Bernie realizes that the media is controlled by powerful corporations that have their own agenda. The people of this country need to get their information from unbiased news sources." That is your job to get info. Are you suggesting that Bernie abolishes free speech? "The younger generation is getting their information from independent journalists" Who are just as bias. FDR turned a recession into a depression. FDR was also corrupt. He threaten to stack the courts with his judges unless he got his way. " Corporations do not have the peoples best interests in mind." And politicians do? "Studies by Princeton University have proven that we have lost our democracy due to the influence of money in politics." Money in politics is just a symptom of a disease. That disease is a government with too much power. If Bernie wins and expands the power of the federal government, what is going to prevent future politicians from being corrupt?
