Asher Edelman, inspiration for Gordon Gekko, says Bernie's plan best for economy

[GrittyVeterans]

Sanders a disaster waiting to happen. The only people his plan helps is lazy folks that are addicted to drugs who don't want to go to school or work. Those are the people that will be taken care of...at all the hard working people's expense. Wonderful.

 

The funniest part about his campaign is how he always shouts about what has happened to the middle class over the last 40 years...yet he wants to make college "free for everyone" at the expense of middle class people who have pursued careers and worked hard to get to their position.  1+1=4 in that equation. He'd be  more of a disaster than Hillary, which is really saying something

I think, that once one is actually governing they have to be practical.  No matter who gets into office, they will have to move to the center or their failure to govern will be absolute.  Bernie is never getting his free college thing through the Congress.  I believe we are heading in a nationalized healthcare direction anyway.  So maybe that one happens in a Sanders presidency.  As far as taxes go.  I don't really want to hear about increasing taxes.  How about we have someone talk about rolling back our ridiculous military spending.  How about we figure out how to close bullshit tax loop holes.  How about we cut the obscene waste.  Theres plenty of money without tremendously raising taxes.  The money needs to be properly directed, and the tax code needs to be fixed.  

 

Finally, its tiresome hearing people who are fortunate cry about "lazy people" and "druggies" we lose A LOT more to white collar theft and people that cheat the ****ing system.  Its silly to begrudge these poor people (the great majority of whom are not these horrible leeches) their nothing government subsidized existence.  The people that depend on government assistance live miserable awful lives.  Shame on the few that truley are these leeches.  But like I said, they are NOTHING compared to the thieves working the broken system.  Thats where the anger should be directed.

Why does nobody talk about his age?  He would be 80 at the end of his term... Can't imagine an 80 year old running this country.

Don't we have 80 year olds in Congress blocking everything anyone trying to run the country wants to do.

[Crampknees]

If I were going to tax it would be the wartime contractors who have false companies set up, slush funds, government officials bribes, etc.  I would tax them 98% because it really isn't their money they rip off.  Shocked this never gets mentioned but you would have to arrest too many names in the news if you did.  

 

But yet Sheniqua may need health care for the quads gets all the play.

They can't order airstrikes and they don't have to negotiate with foreign dictators.

They used to have to approve the air strikes before this country lit it's constitution on fire.

I hear he cut a pardon deal with the BALCO crew. He'd be the Barry Bonds of social democrats. 78 but playing at all time great levels.

Suck it, so-called "economic experts" of Angelspin, even "Gordon Gekko" thinks Bernie is best for the economy.

I can't anyone remember anyone here ever going to such great lengths to prove their POV.

I applaud your tenacity, AJ.

Sometimes I wonder if you were special Ed.

I don't care what time it was where you were. It was 3 pm in AMERICA and you were bragging about drinking some fancy European socialist beer. THAT is the most offensive thing to hard working AMERICANS.

 

This has to be satire, although I'm worried it is not.

 

Two things. One, the US has different time zones. I live on the East Coast, which is three hours earlier than the West Coast - so when it is 3pm in "AMERICA," it is 6pm on the East Coast. I realize that Americans are clueless about geography, but I didn't realize how clueless.

 

Two, the beer was American - Rising Tide Imperial IPA, brewed in Maine.

Wasn't Ivan Boesky the inspiration for Gordon Gekko? After all, in 1986 ( @ Call ) he said:

"I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself"
