>>3410it isn't that you can't afford it. the rich have a lot of money. it is that short of making laws saying that they can't take their business elsewhere there is no way to keep the money flowing. doing that would be socialist and funnily enough, fascist as the only way it could conceivably work is if the companies etc belonged to the american government.
here is a funny thing though, minimum wage, free everything, more welfare, all the shit that bernie has promised is going to attract more people to those things and thus create a need for more money, meaning that the cost of living isn't just going to go up by 40% like it would if the minimum wage was raised (as evidenced by it already fucking happening in some states).
so in the end, people are either going to wind up paying the same amount for most shit (when you adjust for increased wages) only now they'll be living under fascist socialism or the wealth gap that currently exists is going to be multiplied by 9/11 times a million.
sounds pretty fucking great, right? i know that most of this is probably going over your fucking head because bernie promised you free shit but you need to take a fucking step back, stop thinking about your fucking self and start thinking about other people and future generations.
what kind of life do you want for them? the us is trillions in debt right now. stop being so fucking selfish and think of your country and the people who are going to grow up in it in the future.
do you want to wind up like greece? with 17 to 20 year old girls selling themselves on the streets for $2 for a half hour?
