For three years all we’ve heard from them is “He’s Hitler! He’s a dictator!”

Today they want him to really go full Hitler and do a lot more.

I don’t want to appear ungrateful, but my house needs a new roof. So if Bernie could bump it up to $10,000 I’d really appreciate it.

Why 2k per household? What if one house has 1 person and one has 10?

How about more ‘cash for junkers’?

$150,000,000 per person would make us all millionaires, then the Bolshevik would have to shoot all of us.
