I laughed at this.

Bernie hasn't a clue what he's talking about (LOL).

Burnie just picked out his favorite country to go skiing in and is probably shopping for a ski chalet there.

The effective taxation rate in Sweden is commonly cited as among the highest in the world

Bernie has that same evil look in his eyes as Soros.

The fact that a blatant commie like Bernie Sanders gets ANY attention in todays politics never mind the huge support he gets just utterly blows my mind. This would have been unthinkable when Reagan was in office, probably even when Clinton was. The guy is a COMMUNIST!! What the hell? To me it’s worse than a Nazi, Nazis killed 25 millions, communists 100 million AND COUNTING!

I lay this directly on education today and the propaganda media. Do they not teach the horrors of communism anymore in school? Do they not see the ultimate outcome of it in North Korea? It’s HELL. This guy Sanders is moronic punk and TRUMP is the guy who gets all the heat??

Communism for thee, but not for me.

Bernie is a freaking hypocrite:

comrade bernie is an unaccomplished, underserving loser who just likes to hear himself talk. He only appeals to other unaccomplished losers and there are quite a few of them since he keeps getting re-elected. Last I checked, Vermont has the highest percentage of its population on some sort of public assistance ($$$$) of all 50 states.

Democrats just “say stuff”.

As long as it sounds good, it’s fine. It doesn’t have to be true or anything.

Sweden also has 500,000 immigrant Muslims, most of them low skill males under age 35.

Almost all of them live in a couple of urban areas around Stockholm.

The bureaucrats running Sweden also do not enjoy perks and benefits far more than the average Ole and Lena working class subject. As a Swedish co-worker of mine put it “Elective office is NOT a path to great wealth” there.

Especially Malmo and Gothenburg as well.

Let me tell you - it is a shitshow.

It is difficult for women to even walk at night now. It the popular nightlife areas, they will line the sidewalks near bus and tram stops and verbally (mainly) abuse any women that dare walk thru.

True story from Washington Free Beacon: Bernie Sanders was asked to leave a hippie commune in 1971 for “sitting around and talking” about politics instead of working, according to a forthcoming book. (released in 2016)

“We Are As Gods” by Kate Daloz, scheduled for release April 26, chronicles the rise and fall of the Myrtle Hill Farm (hippie commune) in northeast Vermont.”

Lazy, hectoring, class-envious, pot-smoking, slacker-slug Bernie Sanders, expelled from a Vermont hippie commune for not doing his share of the work—how predictable. He grew up from being a stupid lazy young man to being a stupid lazy old man. Of course.

The Swedish government stopped reporting violent crime by African/Arab refugees upon Swedish citizens, especially rape and sexual assaults against women. The government can’t seem to control the crime and they don’t want the general public to know how bad it’s gotten.

Good for John Stossel….now he should do a deep dive into Bernie's life so the Bernie Bros can see what an absolute failure of a man (and human being) their hero really is (hint: lazy slug whose first home was a tear-down with dirt floors because it was cheap).
