Bernie seems like a guy from another planet!

So you didn't read any of the links I posted.....and your fall-back answer is that I need to watch a Liberal activist hack....who, by the way, is a multi-millionaire who made his fortune off of stupid and gullible people? Sorry, but I think for myself.

You ignored my answer. I guess what "thinking for yourself" means is that despite the whole world knowing that the ruination of Michigan cities was caused by automakers leaving for 25 cent per hour workers abroad, you're sticking with your conspiracy theory that Democratic mayors caused them to leave. You are right. That is thinking for (and all by) yourself.

Oh Jesus....where's my facepalm? ELECTED. Not "Appointed". It's not the Republicans fault that droves of poor Democrats scamper to their voting booths and elect these morons. That's on them. Because it certainly isn't Republican voters voting in Democrats. Get a clue.

You ignored my answer. I guess that means that you think that even after a Republican (supposedly small government) governor took elected authority from elected mayors (who now exist in name only), and replaced them with unelected Republican dictators ("Emergency Managers"), that you can just go on your merry way blaming the Democrat mayors for what the Republican dictators did...like using poisoned water to save a penny.

He doesn't know @jlprk. He literally doesn't know what Snyder did to those mayors. He didn't even click the wiki link you gave him.

Snort. Nor did he click on mine. Otherwise, he would have addressed the other Democrat-run places besides Detroit on that list.

But apparently, he's stuck on something about poisoned water. I'm sure it beats the silty shit I drank as a child in San Jose.

Nor has he addressed the "Elected" part. You know....the same stupid assholes who go to the booths every election since 1961 and vote the same goddamn mayors in all the time. How convenient. What's your excuse for this conspiracy? "Republicans took away the Democrats powers so they be our puppets and poor people elect them"?

conservatives ruin cities with their policies and then blame liberals

uh, when did a conservative run Detroit? You really don't think you can sell the idea of a conservative making deals with the police Union do you?

Perhaps he is. Funny too in a sad sort of way. But I do not have to listen very long before I am on overload with disagreement.

The bottom line is you can't blame socialism for that. Doing that is very disingenuous and you know it.

The pictures don't lie.

The pictures don't lie.

The pictures show a country that has been ran by a dictator. Again I don't see you showing any pictures of Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, and Norway.

Show a picture of those of hot women from the Netherlands. And you will see what socialism has created.

Someone posted pictures of Detroit.

Seen enough in all my years. No thanks.

France instituted a 75% tax rate on the rich, only to undo the tax 3 years later.

http://davidstockmanscontracorner.c...s-super-tax-and-deep-six-krugmans-90-tax-too/

It drove Gerard Depardieu to relocate to Russia’s flat tax paradise (with its 13% flat tax, it is the geographically largest tax haven in the world), and no doubt contributed to the decision of countless young Frenchmen with entrepreneurial inclinations to leave for friendlier places. Mr. Hollande’s economic policies have led to noticeable growth of French expat populations in places like London and Hong Kong. The 75% super-tax was of course probably not the only factor in driving many of the best business minds away, but it surely played a role. As current economy minister Emanuel Macron remarked at the time, the tax threatened to turn France into “Cuba without the sun”.

Has any benefit come from this “soak the rich” scheme? Not even the slightest. The revenues flowing into the government’s coffers because of it were simply too small to make a difference, while the damage it did to France’s reputation was undoubtedly enormous.

at the idea of following a policy proven to be a disaster.
