Socialist candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Bernie Sanders refused to answer any questions about how his Administration will pay for the plethora of taxpayer-subsidized loot he is promising to voters, saying that "it would spoil the surprise."
"Does anyone demand that Santa Claus lay out a budget for all the gifts he gives?" Sanders wanted to know. "On one level, it would be rude to look a gift horse in the mouth. From a more practical standpoint, if I tip my hand ahead of time the people I'm going to ask to bear the expense may try to move their property out of my reach."
The candidate contended that "it should be enough for voters to know that I will be taking from those who have more than they should in order to give to those who have less than they should. People should have faith that their government can be trusted to do the right thing. I am the candidate who will restore that faith."

Come on bernie, be a good hippie and give up the ghost
Why tax the rich - that’s always the answer with these people; no, not rich me, rich them.
No satire about it.
I remember when FR posters were against your threads.
Now it seems they are the only safe haven from the bickering and personal attacks going on with the TRUMP vs. CRUZ UFC bouts.
So... thanks. Now I’ll go back and read what you wrote.
: )
OK. I read it.
In the movie V FOR VENDETTA, Evey makes this statement:
“My father was a writer. You would’ve liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up. “
You sir, are an artist.

“Does anyone demand that Santa Claus lay out a budget for all the gifts he gives?” “
At least he **admits** he is running as Santa Claus and not as a Communist......
Obama never explained it either (and he won twice); why should Bernie?
