This would be in addition to the millions of jobs already abolished by the Current Occupant of the White Hut.

Again, with the assault on the geese that lay the golden eggs. Some people just seem to have a taste for feasting on goose flesh.

They just cannot stand prosperity, as adversity seems to suit them so much more. Don’t have enough adversity in their lives, they have to go out and invent some more.

That’s just the cure for Obama’s economy. Obama left a few people still working—that is just intolerable.

I think anybody that works for a living will be very hard pressed to vote for Bernie Sanders when they look at his tax plan right next to Donald Trump’s.

Doesn’t have to too detailed, even I know that.
Do they mean devastating over the already devastated economy by the Kenyan prince?

I especially like the 3 months PAID family leave after Momma pops out a little baby democrat.

Who’s paying for that?

“Without capitalism and people working to pay taxes, these parasites would not have a hose...”

That’s the crux of the psychotic delusion that’s called Liberalism.

IMHO

I guess that's the ONLY time a Democrat thinks it's good to have a mother staying at home with a child--when the government is taxing 60% of everyone's income to pay for "family leave."

So create 6 million more Government Jobs.
And put CEO’s on notice that further layoffs will result
in a televised public flogging. Problem solved.

Bernie has the perfect answer to that. he will simply raise the taxes on remaining workers to pay for the free shit for those additional 6 mil not working.

Brilliant, as always, he is.
