Of course. Well they can kill it, and then we will have to remove them from power and rebuild it. But it’s taken us 200 years and the collective savings and investments of all Americans combined is LESS than what Bernie plans to spend in 10 years. He will triple the federal budget! It’s simply impossible to do this without taxing everyone heavily. There is no way this country can afford any of these plans. Warren’s tax plan will never pay for itself because it is a punitive plan that will deliver diminishing returns and will destroy or distort the markets for just about everything.
They’ve gone crazy. JFK at least had common sense when it came to economics. There are no JFK left in that party. The market can fix nearly every one of these problems. Nearly every social and economic problem is due to some form of regulation or protectionism. Want cheaper healthcare? Simple. Get more doctors, cut the red tape, create pricing transparency. Why are elective surgeries like nose jobs and dental implants cheaper now than ever? Because they are not covered by insurance! The providers and suppliers have to compete. It is economics 101. More supply = lower prices. Just the idea of a single payer system is guaranteed to increase the cost of health care.
They don’t get it.
Bernie’s plan is to collapse the system. Cause chaos. Leads to a communist government.
Lots of dictators were selected in democratic countries. Hitler. Chavez. Create the crisis and then take over.
What gets me is the richest corporations in the country paying NO income taxes. Here is an idea to chew on allow corporations to deduct NO MORE THAN $1 million from their corporate taxes for each employee. Then the stockholders will have to decide if Mr. Drug Company, or Walmart CEO, or whatever should have a salary of $20million. I remember 2008 when the stockholders discovered that the top 3 Goldman Sachs execs each earned MORE THAN $65million. They rebelled and held a vote on the proposition that stockholders have an advisory on executive compensation. It didn’t quite win with 43%, but that was enough to scare the CEO into only paying himself $25million the next year. We need a lot more of that kind of rebellion!!
