This nutcase socialist hippie, who never had a real job in his life, is floating the socialist balloon again. Giving away America's freedom, capitalist culture and founding for give-away socialism to buy the presidency. The frightening part is how many mindless voters would support such a disastrous idea.

Venezuela North???

Last week, the Washington Post reported that Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is crafting a proposal in which the federal government would guarantee a job that pays $15 an hour plus health insurance to any American “who wants or needs one.”

How long until citizens are required to have a (govt.) job?

Of course it doesn’t add up - it never does. But socialists promote their schemes anyway.

Bernie Sanders’ job guarantee proposal doesn’t add up

Not only did the Finnish government recently conclude that their basic income guarantee experiment has failed, but patriots are reminded the the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated the unconstitutionally big, post-17th Amendment ratification federal government the specific power to tax and spend for such a program.

• Finnish Failure: Guaranteed Basic Income Punishes Work, Subsidizes Sloth

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• "The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me

• "Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me

Patriots need to work with their state lawmakers to support Pres. Trump in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

When I take 15 and hour a multiply by 2000 hours a year and multiply by 300 million people, I get a cost of 9 trillion dollars.

Socialist schemes NEVER ADD UP.

That’s why they don’t want people to learn math....................

$31,000 for a 5 day work week + insurance
brings it to about 40k. How the hell will this be paid for? Wealth sharing, of course.

Maybe he wants to start a university and let his wife run it . . .

"fields ranging from infrastructure to care-giving in order to be able to guarantee a job to all American workers."

People with no skills making $15.00 / hr can't contribute to the improvement of infrastructure. All they know how to do is show up late for work, go to lunch and not com back until the next day(late of course).

As far as care-giving is concerned, I would not trust these folks with a goldfish.

The plan, which Sanders hasn’t figured out how to fund yet,....

I am willing to bet that he hasn't even figured out what it will cost yet.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

C’mon Burn-knee, you can do better than that! Fifteen dollars an hour? Jeez- whizz, at least you could make it $50/hour!

I’m sure that Bill (MicroSuck) Gates, Jeff Beelzebub, Suckerbug and Schwartz Gyorgy will all be more than happy to sell all of their assets to help achieve such a goal!
...or not...

Maybe Bernie can point out all the successful communist/socialist countries... countries where the people are free AND prosperous.

And no, Sweden is moving away from most of their give away stuff... doesn’t work as well in multicultural settings.

[SMARTY]

If he had a brain in his head, he’d be going after Hillary for what she did to him in the election.... not wasting his time with this s%$t

[Davy Crocket]

That doesn’t matter to commies and Socialist! Their numbers never add up!

[robroys woman]

Who pays attention to Bernie any more? They might as well be arguing who had the best strategy to win the 2016 superbowl.

Example: Joe works a Hardware store for $13 an hour, he has a piddling health care package. Joe would quit the Hardware Stoe and work for the Government. No one in their right mind would work for less than $15 dollars and hour with lesser Health Care. Bernie’s idiot idea would destroy half the businesses in America.

.... I remember last year when everybody was having a Liberal Orgasm about Finland guaranteeing everybody a basic income in the country.

... Well ..... What you didn't hear about this program is that they decided it wasn't working out and moved to scrap the whole thing last week and offer welfare for the needy instead.

I cannot believe this glum Brooklynese dullard actually has a following. He has no sense of reality and even less of economics. He is 78 going on 4.
