Why arnt people like him running for president? I mean I dont agree with socialism but he is honest, he isnt afraid to voice his opinion regardless of the consequences. He doesnt pander to anyone, he speaks from the heart. People like him, Ron Paul, Dennis K. Should be our leaders. People like Ron Paul should take over the Republican party, and people like Bernie and Dennis should be the face of Democrats. Now that would be a perfect world. Fuck politics, HUMANITY is what we need.
@randomperson2538 well not to run in the primaries anyway but the D's do support his bid to be a Senator each election so long as he caucuses with them
May Blessings of Love and Light protect and be always with the great Independent Senator, Bernie Sanders... I love him, he is the voice of the pple... of the true American, he is the voice of common sense and reason that the likes of Palin, Bachmann and that whole GOP field can only dream about... He is a treasure to this nation that he serves so well... I wish he was my Senator... but, unfortunately I have the Corporate boot licker McConnell, the sly lying dog of KY>>>
@TheOtherView damn thats interesting ive always heard people talk about the canadian system either in despise aka conservatives or in good light aka liberals since you lived there could you tell me what you liked and disliked?
@TheOtherView please explain. id like healthcare to be free myself, but im afraid of the having to wait 10 months to see the doctor thing. who says thats true and who says it isnt. i dont know...
@irishgodfatherchris the HELL it does! when healthcare is free everyone runs to the doctor with every little headache (if you're my wife, thats 5 nights a week, but i digress). when everyone has to pay, people don't go to the doctor as much unless they really need to. the structure of the system can also impact whether people choose to become doctors.
@coolpilot2001 Waiting times is not as long my friend. I as a dutch person can go to a doctor if I need to. Of course not the medical physician that is in the hospital, but to a doctor that can check me up if I think I have caught something. (and if you didn't mean that, you can safely ignore my comment haha) Im refering to the general medical practitioner, btw, but I don't know if that is the same term you were refering too...
America needs three parties: A progressive party, a centrist party, and the TPers. The way everything now is pigeonholed into two parties that are LARGELY similar is self-defeating and the main reason why there isn't change, even now when it is desperately needed. TPers have a strong voice and have taken over the Republican party... I just wish progressives could do the same b/c otherwise the 'center' will continue to get dragged towards crazyville and America will be in even bigger trouble
Ohhh man. I can't believe people would agree with this moron. Global warming is wayyy too exaggerated, look at climategate. Unlike sanders and anyone else up there, there are people who actually work 12 hour shifts, and don't do it to pay for some idiot who sits around making babies all day.
@FuckMeatStew hmmm, i guess you didn't understand a word of what he said....just listen carefully and you'll see that he's talking exactly about ppl like you, that work and should pay less than the corporations that pay nothing and still get money back from the gov (that's you and all your working friends...)
@BaraoVermelho Well im not going to complain, im mostly doing it to save up for school or get a house. Im with my parents and saving up so nahh, doesn't really apply to me. But those income taxes on a poor guy who has zero dependants is tough. And if my company tanks and i lose my job because the company can't afford all the expenses then it'll hurt me. I seriously don't know where this "all companies are always rich and successful" myth came from, a lot of them tank also.
@FuckMeatStew sure they do, but it's not true that if they pay "some" taxes they will tank, if all pay taxes then all are in the same boat. If all the people pay taxes and can still go on with their lives, then so should the companies....even more so because of the "smart" people they hire to handle their finances, and normal guys like u and me probably do our taxes ourselves. In a world (utopic i know..) where all pay their due taxes, everyone pays less. My two (euro) cents anyway..
@BaraoVermelho Well in my utopic society, business saves that tax money and invests in more jobs, with these jobs we then can weed out the lazy bums from the unemployed that actually want jobs and money. Regular people also save their tax dollars and invest, spend (which stimulates the economy), and save up for their own retirement. All the government waste then gets privatized, so we pay almost no taxes. I knew you had to be european...
@FuckMeatStew Thanks, i take that as a compliment :). In a perfect world what you said makes sense. In any world it is very important to weed out the lazy bums (as you said), in that we agree. I'd almost bet you voted Bush.....am i wrong? :)
socialism can work in america. IF american people PARTICIPATE in their politcal system. which means to pay attention, read and follow what the govt is doing. stop and listen, you can find the truth.
@ninjainfocardX he won't run because he wouldn't win because of the two party bias as well as several americans would never vote for someone who describes himself as a socialist... this man is the best politician in america.. a pure genius
@Roedy0309 So true...I wish we didn't have a two party system. Amerrica would be better off without political parties. Canidates running for office should be able to run on their own individual platforms and not the stereotypical Democratic or Republican platforms. I'm also tired of Democrats and Republicans fighting like children. Stop bashing each other and do the d*mn job we, the people of the United States, hired you to do! (excuse my language)
This guy is great - He makes me forget about the Palin/Beck/Bachman of your country and restores my respect in US politics. In Canada we have a Conservative Party, but you guys would call them Democrats when compared to your GOP. I love you, dear neighbors, am I hope you will kick the clowns out of your politics by 2012. Just thinking that Bachman might be running for president makes my head spin... AHHHHHHHHHH I am fainting.... BANG (a Canadian falling on the floor).
Wow! i like the part about patriotism, you're not patriotic if you defend government, you're patriotic if you stand up to the system and their so called "values". It's hard to accept one's country's flaws.
"We are given brains to be critical so that we can improve it."(that thing being said about making the US even better) now that's something so so fundamental and could be applied to everything not just politics, every single aspect of existence. That man is remarkable. The way he puts up things together, the manner of speaking... it's just amazing. He manages to say so much just by saying so little.
@bahramf Well to be fair it is not that hard to see why Conservatism is a flawed idea. I mean pure capitalism is idiotic due to corruption always happens without regulations.
What we need is a proper hybrid if we want to compete with other countries who already have a good hybridization and beating the US. Conservatives are often not willing to negotiate and blame everything that is not related.
