The third part of a Bernie Sanders speech is pure socialist class warfare, income redistribution rhetoric. Nonsense which the useful idiots who support him swallow whole because they have no understanding of economics, and are either ignorant of or willfully ignore history.<\/p>\n
Bernie is remarkably light on details on just how he is going to pay for his vision of a socialist workers paradise. The math isn\u2019t hard. The Wall Street Journal put the price tag at $18 trillion<\/a>, which is the current federal debt<\/a>. Bernie denied the WSJ numbers, but refused to present any of his own. That is because he doesn\u2019t have any plans based in reality. Socialism has failed each and every time it has been tried. It has resulted in economic collapse or has had to kill off large chunks of the population. Usually both. Socialist countries killed over a 100 million of their own citizens in the 20th Century. Remind any useful idiot who babbles about \u201cfeel the Bern\u201d of this fact. Odds are it won\u2019t make any difference. They will probably either ignore or deny it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The third part of a Bernie Sanders speech is pure socialist class warfare, income redistribution rhetoric.
