Comrade Bernie announces he's running, and the FIRST thing he wants to do is tax your retirement redemptions to so that the Free Schit Fairy can try to buy votes with "Free College!!!".

Like Dems haven't done enough to wreck the Middle Class?

It has no chance of passing in this Congress, but it is just a taste of what is coming, folks.

Does Bernie wants to chase wealth in the USA to see how far it will run away?

Nothing is ever more expensive than when it’s “free”.

Well, I’d like a huge Sheriff of Nottingham college endowment wealth tax to make small business start-ups tax free. :)

Bad enough we’re paying through the nose for High school...and the graduation rate is less than 50%. Now do you want me to tell you the demographics of those schools?

We already have the free bread, when do the circuses start up? Have the Boston Marathon bomber fight to the death with Lee Boyd Malvo.

Actually, making college free for QUALIFIED applicants might work.

However, the word QUALIFIED would eliminate 99.999999% of the lib arts students, and even some of the quota STEM types.

Too many colleges, too little intellect.

The great irony of people like Bernie Sanders and Bill De Blasio - they are going to use the power of the progressive/left welfare state to make inequality even worse.

Socialism is always and everywhere political corruption and economic cronyism.

Robin Hood fought against high taxes.

Are we really going to elect a man who’s so ignorant he can’t even get his fairy tales right?

Isn't a Robin Hood tax an oxymoron?...

If i recall it was the government that got rich taxing the people.

A person does not need government power to “give”...they need it to “take”...anyone that tells you different is a liar and a thief

Once upon a time, companies and corporations used to sponsor apprenticeships and internships. Now, companies simply finance foreign nationals to take those very same jobs, because training in china and india is much cheaper than training Americans. With the advent of H1-B visas, companies can ensure a cheap, endless supply of foreign labor.

If you think that an American company is looking out for the best interests of Americans, or American workers, you are sadly mistaken.

If you think that you can compete with third world labor, you are sadly mistaken.

If you think that you are immune from outsourcing, or that you cannot be replaced by a foreign national, you're whistling past the graveyard.

As long as there are people in the world who will do your job cheaper than what you will do it for, and as long there are people in the world who will exploit that fact for all that it is worth, no job, no knowledge, or no economy is safe.

It's a looter's and barbarian's world now. Get used to it, or you will either succeed, or get killed.

Robin Hood did not steal from the rich to give to the poor like the liberals are wont to say. He stole from tax collectors and gave those taxes back to the people.

College is a bad investment for many kids these days. I would sooner buy my kid a laundromat for $250,000, that throws off $10,000 to $12,000 a month.

I propose a per-capita tax on Vermont, for giving us this loon and his fellow loons like Howard the Scream!
