Tanned, Exquisitely Coiffed Bernie Sanders Tells Supporters Corporations Actually Have A Lot To Offe

funding the govt is a completely different question.
futurecurrents spoke of reducing the disparity as if taking money from people to give it to others is a legitimate goal. Being that is what leftists think... I remind them if they if they wish to fix "income disparity" the place to do it is on backs of the donors who run their politicians.

if we took all Bill Gates money, yes, it would be a little rough on the kids in Africa waiting for a polio vaccine, but can you even imagine what good the federal government could do with 60 billion dollars? We could let all 400 plus members of congress decide how to divy it up and spend it for the greater good. His lifetime savings could last this country several weeks. We could even buy an F-35!

ah yes, I hear ya, I think about funding the government a lot, a wealth tax is something I have considered. I know you prefer tarriffs. Personally, I believe the only fair tax is an income tax. And we have already reduced income disparity about as far as we can take it. Last stats I heard, 47% pay no federal income taxes. So Bernie has 3% to play with. Do you really want to live in a country where 10% pay for 90% of the government? What kind of a voice do you think you will have then?
 
I can teach a kid capitalism in five minutes. You make a pitcher of lemonade for a dollar, you sell 4 glasses for 50 cents each and you double your money.

I am still waiting for someone to explain the other side so it clicks in my simple mind. So the result of me selling lemonade creates income disparity. True, I am making more money than the kids just playing video games. How is that a bad thing?
