Sanders would be as ineffective as Obama was because our Corporate Overlords own Congress. Every reform would be blocked, watered down or rewritten to benefit the rich.
The united states being a larger country has nothing to do with the ideas failing or succeeding. The same way scientists conduct small scale experiments to get an estimate the united stated can look at these smaller countries as a view point and build on it. and to Mr1 which ideas, and why?
The size of the country absolutely plays a enormous part! Imagine the difficulty of making two people get along. Now imagine 100 people. Ill let your cognitive ability take it from here.
Charror, do you really think Obama is any less of a puppet than the Republicans whom you speak of? Both parties are controlled by big money.....period. thats why Sanders, Cruz, and Trump are doing as well as they are. They are all outsiders of their parties and the paries hate it!
If by big money you mean campaign funds then yes thats true. But other than that what youre saying makes little sense if youre implying that elections and government decisions are paid off.
Im confused. You agree that wealthy people contribute large sums of money to the campaigns of politicians in order to get them elected but you dont believe the money is an exchange for something once they are in office? You believe once in office the politicians are no longer under the influence of the campaign donors? For clarification im not implying that government decisions are paid for, i'm flat out telling you thats the only explanation for how our government operates.
He says he'll tax wall street speculation, though I'm unsure if it'll work, especially with how much trading goes on, and how much those traders want to keep the tax down.
I'm not great when it comes to economics, but if he does raise the taxes on the wall street traders. Doesn't that mean they will just go somewhere else to earn their living. And if that were to happen and people stop trading and pull out everything they have in stocks, won't that completely tank our economy again?
Every other country pays a, "rediculously high taxes". I recommend you look into how much shit your tax money goes Into for example, sports venues that the city or state will not make any return on. Or events that, once again, your city and state will not make a return on. Not only that, but the rate of tax will replace an insurance deductible will ultimately be cheaper for most Americans than the current tax rates + insurance rates. Also there's not many places for big companies to go. Massive wall street trading companies will lose out massively if they try and move massive operations domestically, its just not worth it.
who pays only $100 a month. I pay $1000 a month plus copays, plus deductibles, etc. My taxes are only about $235 a month. Even if they double, I still come out ahead.
I pay $145 a month for my insurance premium. I looked at getting obamacare when it came out since it was suppose to be so great. It was a joke, my premium would have been $1295 a month and the coverage was about half as good as what I have.
I guess I am just disappointed that America use to be a nation that was a leader in the world in so many areas. Now we are just turning into a sheepish socialist country following the downward trend of other socialist countries.
Socialism doesn't work because what's the incentive for hard workers to work while others do nothing?!?!
You work hard and make $20/hr someone else does nothing but the government takes $10/hr from you so lazy bones didn't have to work...
