B) Dude....I love burnout bernie and Scandinavian Socialists...
translation: The Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute endorse 60+% marginal tax rates.
Be more like Sweden: tax the hell out of productive citizens; invite millions of non-productive morons in with the intelligence of retarded chimpanzees; allow them to rape your citizens.
The only way to make socialists is to mislead people.
And remember “the goal of Socialism is Communism” Vladimir Lenin.
I look forward to the US having Scandinavian-style education vouchers and privatized Social Security.
Sweden also has school choice...
“Reason-Rupe has found that, the label ‘socialism’ aside, Millennials prefer, by a ratio of two to one, a ‘free market-economy’ over a ‘government-managed economy.’”
Milennials have no sense of history. The reason when they are polled that they prefer a free market economy is they think it means they get free stuff.
A.K.A. back when they had the lowest rape numbers on the planet.
Now, not so much... wonder what changed...
National Review? How do they come up with Sweden having a free markets when the gubmint there takes half your income?
It’s not that America’s democrats, socialists and communists don’t know anything about national finance and economies.
It’s that everything they know is wrong.
lutefisk, blonde cheerleaders, Ikea and koenigsegg.
Ok so three of the four are worth exporting.
They can keep the lutefisk and drug users.
Bernie was born in racially diverse New York. After he graduated from the University of Chicago, he moved to the whitest city in the whitest state in the US.
Now he points to the whitest countries on the whitest continent in the world as emblematic of the society he most cherishes.
What is Bernie actually saying?
What about the socialism in Venezuela? It seems to be a disaster.
This one’s right up ol’ Bern’s alley:
“Legalize incest and necrophilia, says Swedish Liberal Party’s youth wing”

But, But, they’re so WHITE!

A Scandinavian economist once stated to Milton Friedman: "In Scandinavia we have no poverty." Milton Friedman replied, "That's interesting, because in America among Scandinavians, we have no poverty either."
Those wishing for socialism need to be shown Venezuela. Just because they imagine that the policies they are arguing for work in one location doesn’t mean that socialism works. What do they want? And how does it look like Venezuela and Scandinavia? Much of what they want is Venezuela.
Then again, maybe they like Venezuela. Income inequality is very low (or at least meaningless) when neither the rich or poor can’t get an aspirin or toilet paper.
“Their liberal markets are what enable them to accommodate massive social-welfare spending.”
Well, don’t forget petrowealth. Countries that are sitting on large petroleum and natural gas reserves can afford to be wasteful with their spending. Also, even with those factors taken into account, the taxes are so sky-high in Scandinavia that there is a booming black market economy of “off the books” labor, because that’s the only way most people can escape the crushing taxes and actually save a little money to improve their station.
Bernie, and the Left, only wish to install the Socialist things piece-meal, from many sources, for a totality of Socialism.
For instance, they will never lower taxes/regs, voter ID, school choice, illegals, etc.
But they will take 1-2 times from X, 3-4 from Y, 2 from Z...and join them all for the U.S.
