I follow politics to a certain degree but not anywhere near the extent of you guys. I know a few of Bernie’s proposals and obviously oppose them, and his general worldview, but I’d like to be armed with some specific facts and why they are bad for the country.

Help me out. Give me some ammunition.

Specifics would be helpful not generalities like Socialism Bad (although obviously I agree).

Bernie has no way to pay for the insane things he is proposing except for boosting taxes to historic highs across the board.

In essence, way less money in every working US citizen's pocket and more for the government, regardless of what tax bracket they fall into. We all know how well the government tends to manage our money.

I often see some REALLY smart people on here that simply know more than I do and put out some facts.

I’d love to just have them here.

Which usually lowers gross tax revenue collected, then font even get me started on the downstream effects on growth.

Where are the facts to support this?

Edit: seriously. What specifically is Bernie Sanders proposing and why is it impossible to fund?

He wants a government take over of our largest GDP contributors (healthcare, energy, finance/insurance, real estate). That will directly wreck our economy and Wall Street. For the hacks that rail on Wall Street, people like their 401Ks and pensions, which need Wall Street to do well. In what world is taking 150 million off their healthcare through their employer a good idea? Majority of people (important word here is majority) are content with their healthcare now.

Says himself that he is not a capitalist.

Doesn’t leave many good options.

Well, any, actually.

That isn’t helpful. I’m quite versed.

I’m asking for Bernie specific facts ie what HE is actually proposing specifically.

So, again, this is just a fear mongering statement with no facts supporting it.
