The only way to implement a government-run health care system is to enslave everyone who provides health care services.
And we outlawed slavery in this country after the Civil War.
Bernie is a communist. One of his axioms is that everything belongs to everyone, so yes taxes will rise accordingly to pay for everything. He doesn’t see this as a problem. “From each according to his means, to each according to his needs” (with the majority deciding what “needs” entails, and individuals stripped of “rights”).
Another thing that Mad Uncle Bernie misses is that doctors and hospitals frequently LOSE money on Medicare - the folks with insurance or paying their own way get stuck with making up teh difference.
All this talk of money hides the real problem with this solution.
First, you have to give up your freedom for security.
Not on my watch!
Let me summarize:
Man: Raising taxes makes me spend more money
Bernie: If I take $500 from everyone, I can give back $5000 in services!
Man: Sounds like a good deal to me
I imagine this is the guy who pays sticker price for his car, buys the rustproofing and undercoating etc...
Bernie's background and experience in dealing with money and economics is revealed in his history of never having held a real job or earning a paycheck and being destitute for most of his adult life. His first paycheck was a government one and his idea of where money comes from is from the government via taxing working people, something he has little experience at.
Should a man who didn't have a pot to piss in for the first four decades of his life, be elected chief executive of a county where he would tell the population how not to achieve success?
Question for Bernie: What makes you think you can make Socialism work when everyone else who has ever tried has failed.
(Looks like we are experiencing a new posting gremlin independent of the quotes one. Great!)
Ol'Bernie can claim senility, I suppose, but he's going from bad to worse.
Robbing decades of working Americans and employers' contributions to Social Security goes *poof* in the senile ass****s mind.
No, Thanks, champion of the indolent!
Parasites need a host, tag your it
You will notice that Bernie and the other Socialists thieves never give any of the money they stole and put into their personal accounts to the “Little people” they claim to love.
So not only is the government going to have another way to hold us by the throat, but we’re going to have to foot the bill for it as well.
