How can Sanders plan works when we're already in 16 trillion dollars in debt, and taxes would go thru the roof. Also, DLGN, I know this is hard for you to understand with you being home-schooled. But there's this called common core. It's mandatory education curriculum from Washington DC and its total horsecrap. He's said almost nothing about education other than people deserve free and quality education. What his idea of quality is unknown. Also, why should anyone earn 15$ an hour? I don't mean to be prejudice, but some Mcdonalds workers are absolute crap at their job to begin with. I'm no economist, but that sounds asinine. I agree the rich should pay more taxes but 90% sounds bordering communism. Again, bordering. I'm not far rightist that accuses others of outrageous things. What do you think about this dlgn? And don't you dare call me biased, my mother has been bankrupt twice and has been on welfare for two years. So I'm not a typical rich white cis-het male. Although I am a white cis-het male. I still have liberal views and conservative views. More conservative than liberal but I believe in being rational. To think based on facts and not some superstition or whatever is most convenient to me. I am thinking about the future generations of America. Because I care.
I may as well weigh in.
Firstly,
19 trillion. Secondly, those who are home-schooled are required to follow the same curriculum and their parents must report to the government or local school board (at least that is how it is done in Canada so I'd imagine it's similar).
Thirdly, no one should earn $15 an hour. All that will do is raise the prices of goods to reflect minimum wage and those who were making $15 an hour before the wage hike will have less buying power.
Go work at McDonalds and see how you like it. They're not crap workers, they have a crap job (with no opportunity for promotion, mind you). I don't blame them for being unmotivated.
Sanders says he wants to tax the wealthiest Americans at 90%. I don't imagine that people who make $300 000 - $1 000 000 would be included in that since you guys have
billionaires. 536 of them, actually. Taxing a person who makes one billion in one year would leave them with one hundred million dollars, which is more than enough for anyone to live off of. Having an excess of that degree is useless. Also, it's no where close to communism since these wealthy people still own massive corporations, record labels, etc. etc. and the entire wealth of the country (all classes included) is not being distributed equally (and fairly). I'd also like to include here that communism (another term is Marxism) requires a class war in order to be properly labelled as such, so unless Bernie Sanders became the General of the American's Glorious Army for the People (fictional) then he could not create communism in your country.

Hahahahaha, you're bringing that Tumblr crap into it. Love it.

I don't think the thread will be locked. To me it seems as if this thread was politically centred from the start, so unless things start getting hateful then it shouldn't be locked.
