Bernie is a socialist. Supported by Unions, some of the largest lobbyists in Congress. Bernie's national plans don't pan out financially-wise and his numbers are based on estimates rather than the trends that we see with European countries. Bernie also has no clue as to why business people outsource labour and is instead going to fan the flames with more taxes. Everything Bernie will do is either going to fall flat on its face like Obama's 8yrs or force fascism and greater government control over both the economy and people. "The goal of Socialism is Communism" - Vladimir Lenin [spoiler]The difference between socialism and democratic socialism is nothing. All it could imply is that the socialism isn't communism but then the terms become redundant or illogical. The only way Bernie will have a chance of working is with fascism and socialism coming together to form Communism. That's why he supports greater healthcare and increased social benefits. That's why he is turning the proletariat against the bourgeoisie in a bid for "equality". He is wanting the people dependent on the government so he can use its newly increased control to dominate the people through taxes and "free healthcare". He's an old man whose ideas are supposed to have died away and instead remembered only in history books. [/spoiler]
