I just can’t get over how delusional Sanders is to think the most spoiled generation who wants everything NOW would be willing to give up so much.

The only logical thing is that he’s not that delusional and plans to do what other commies did to make their plans “work” — unleash the military and force them at gunpoint.

He plans to do nothing but make loans to companies who know more about their own abilities and financial status than our government writing the checks. He then plans to ride it out as one after another of those companies default on their loans from taxpayer dollars and the Americans who voted for him are distracted by the next manufactured crisis.

I didn’t read this thread, but let me guess, powerman and dawgfan2424 recited some a 3rd grade understanding of Danish politics and culture. I’m sure neither answered anything about their extremely strict immigration policies. I’m sure they also haven’t talked about the conservative movement happening in DK right now, how little they spend on self defense, etc. Did they maybe address that this is just the last in line of many regimes that Bernie has touted as superior?

Oh nooooo. 2 full brigades?!

Someone call the cops! We got a rowdy bunch over here!

The deadbeats here who think they pay but don’t would be in for quite a surprise in Denmark. Pretty much every dollar over 7k is taxed at 50 percent and over 70 US it is closer to 65%.

They also pay 25% sales tax and excise taxes on cars of over 180%.

I think that post was trying to say their military was made of conscripts but even that would be only partially true. There are twice as many troops as conscripts.

I read that page.

Nearly every one of those policies will tax middle and upper middle class hard.

If you want to go with Bernies plans, just know that the only way to pay for it is to squeeze those that currently pay even harder. Like you said, says it right there on his site.

Leftist memes always have paragraphs of text. They have no idea how memes work

The Caribbean. South America. Southeast Asia. Eastern Europe.

You know, places the rich leave to as it is. Places that are tax havens, have low cost of living, high levels of corruption so it’s easy to do what you want. Etc.

Bernie was all-in for Venezuela as the model for the USA until the country completely collapsed. Now he's shifted his narrative to Denmark.

Yea, most people don't like paying for other people to live out their lives and they like a free market.

Our country is thriving and going strong. Why bring that to a halt because unsuccessful people want to bring successful people down to their level?

Do half of Denmark's citizens get to skip out on paying taxes?

No, basically if you make 30 grand you pay 15 grand in taxes


This. In those countries, the poor end up paying most of the taxes unlike this country where they get a “refund”.
