It is more like Can you give me a dollar
I have to admit, Bernie Sanders is not afraid to admit who he is, which is why he says what he says. What is really and utterly amazing to me is that he has no issue revealing the depths of his stupidity! Bernie Sanders needs to be on TruTV’s World’s Dumbest! Doesn’t he realize that the Internet has a memory much bigger than any elephant or that of your mother-in-law! If he says any more of what he’s thinking of, I think he’s going to be committed! For more laughs. Read my other post, “Why Work for It When I Can Get You.”
You have Hillary Clinton
You have Hillary Clinton, so close to being indicted because of the email server controversy. Old Bernie should be clobbering Hillary by now, or should I call her Shrillery? But he is still down in the polls! And why would someone who appeals to the less-than-motivated section of our population still be behind in all of the Democratic presidential polls if he were not consistently putting his foot in his mouth?
Bernie Sanders creates a lot of free material
You have to admit, though. Bernie Sanders creates a lot of free material for his Twitterverse, talk shows, and all of the comedy shows. So thank you, Bernie! Please let your IQ stay ever so small. I know a lot of you are saying, What did he ever do to you? Well, besides actually speaking, not much, except for saying he wants to take all that I have and give it to somebody who has warts on their ass from the amount of constant sitting and not working. So, as I sit here drinking my cup of chamomile tea, I just want to enlighten the blogosphere on all of the magical Bernie moments.
He made a statement that we need to get rid of fossil fuels
He made a statement that we need to get rid of fossil fuels and move immediately to energy-efficient and sustainable energies. OK, then let’s go down that road again. I am assuming the people he is speaking to don’t know how to type the word Google and see how well that has been going.
Electric cars! That’s it
What sustainable energy is he speaking about? OK, let me help old, poor Bernie out. Electric cars! That’s it! Let’s get rid of all gasoline-driven cars and move to electric-powered cars! There is only one minor problem with that scenario that a lot of people did not think through completely.
Where are those cars getting the electricity to charge up the batteries?
- From power plants run by fossil fuels, coal, or nuclear for the most part!
- I know, you may say, let’s get rid of fossil fuels and nuclear altogether.
- The only problem with that is that only 9.8% of the energy production in the United States is by renewable sources.
You want to send the United States into absolute chaos, create mass unemployment, starvation, and all sorts of Bernie-inspired Armageddon, to ban fossil fuels and nuclear power?
Plus, look at all of the solar companies that have failed to use the taxpayers’ time. Here they are.
- Solyndra (535 million loss)
- Sun Power (1.2 billion loss)
- Babcock and Brown (178 million loss)
- Plus many more!
He wants the billionaire class to pay their fair share in taxes
Again, let’s look at this. A simple Google search will show you that the top 10% of income earners in the United States pay 68% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% only pays 3% of federal taxes. Right now, there’s an estimated 2 trillion in wealth overseas from the United States. If you keep overtaxing the rich, do you think they’re going to bring any of that money back into the United States? Yeah, they will do it if they are on crack!
Education should be a right, not a privilege
Look at where the current state of easy money for higher education has gotten us. Large numbers of college graduates who cannot find a job!! There are so many Bachelor’s Degrees flooding the market that they are equal to what a high school diploma was some 25 or 30 years ago. Now you need to have at least a master’s degree to stand out to which in turn adds more student debt per individual. Plus, should a taxpayer be paying for a degree in green art, or like a physical fitness major? Are you kidding me!
Bernie says Social Security
Should that promise have been made in the first place? Let’s bring in another related topic, abortion. You are probably saying, “How is abortion related?”I will tell you how it is related. The premise of Social Security is that there are a lot more people of working age paying for the people who are retiredNow if you think about thenumbert of abortions that have occurred since the passing of Roe v. Wade, and the downsizing of the American family where having only one or two children is now the norm, then what was occurring when Social Security was created, you can see the problem that we as a nation are faced with. As time goes on, there’s not going to be enough young people, or may I say people of working age, to pay for the retirement of everybody else that is still alive. Plus, it does not help that Congress keeps raiding the Social Security coffers.
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer
And for the last one, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Income of any quality has been at its highest since the 1920s. Well, let’s take a look at that. As you keep increasing the size of government and the burden of government regulations and government taxing ability, what happens to companies in the United States? Well, they either go bankrupt or they merge. As companies keep merging, there are fewer and fewer chchoicesherebyy removing competition, causing prices that consumers pay to go up, thereby leaving less discretionary money in people’s pockets. The solution to income inequality is a smaller government, enforcement of antitrust laws, and a free market.
