My oh my...Wall Street doesn't like Warren. They surely can't like Sanders

What will they do... (probably Clinton rides in on her black horse)

So, the workers will own 45% of the means of production.

Instant half-communism.

Hmmm, lets really look at German economic history and what made it successful.

Ban stock buybacks? Can’t tell corporations how best to deploy their capital. Typical socialist.

Who remembers the "Luxury tax" in the 1980s? I was living in South Jersey at the time and it almost destroyed Viking Yacht,a boat building plant down the road from me.

...established Bureau of Corporate Governance at the Department of Commerce. This new federal charter will require corporate boards to consider the interests of all of the stakeholders in a company – including workers, customers, shareholders, and the communities in which the corporation operates.

Yep, that's what business needs: Another bureaucracy that addresses all "interests" of stakeholders in the company. So, if you miss your cat during the day, the company might be forced to have day care for cats and time off during the work day to visit your cat. Bernie: Clearly you've never worked in your life for a profit-based company.

This sounds like something right out of “Atlas Shrugged”

Truly. It is amazing to me how far left they are going. Hillary seems sane (by comparison)

Bernie hates capitalism. His “plan” would destroy retirement plans and pension funds.

His “for the workers” rhetoric is a parasitic scam for low information imbeciles and hate-America radicals.

Banning stock buy-backs is a stupid idea if you stand for the worker, “corporate responsibility,” or hostile takeovers. Buy-backs is how ownership reasserts its control, so it can take actions beyond the “five-year horizon” of fiduciary responsibility to stockholders.

He is correct that this is the way it’s been done in Germany since the end of WW II.

BTW, it was OUR idea. The occupation force felt that by democratizing EVERYTHING the likelihood of the rise of another Hitler would greatly diminished.

The timing on implementation would be crucial. Bernie would need to effect his takeover before most large corporations had a chance to go offshore.

Using Germany’s economy as an example makes Bernie look like the fool he is

These communist will destroy the economy Trump has been fixing since his first day in office. They are too stupid to continue with the successful plans of president Trump. Their plan will make America poorer and make certain groups of people much richer. They will bring us back to the terrible economies of obama and Carter. Not one of these democrats has ever run a successful business. I doubt they could run a child's lemonade stand.
