\"Bernie<\/a><\/p>\n

Bernie Sanders the socialist candidate is leading the pack of Democrats running for President of the United States and today I will talk about him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me start with his campaign website<\/a>. I just love how the first thing you see is a page asking for a donation. To get to the main page left click on his name, upper left corner. After you get by another bunch of begging for a donation the meat of what Bernie is all about is at your finger tips.<\/span><\/p>\n

His issues page looks like a communist (\/socialist) agenda. Free something for everyone and who will pay the piper? Those that who have beaten down the masses , the of bourgeoisie of course who have exploited the proletariat (the working class).<\/span><\/p>\n

Bernie is so left leaning that it is just ridiculous when you take into account the fact that the majority of Americans are politically moderate.<\/span><\/p>\n

He supports the New Green Deal, which is so unrealistic in its design that it will never work. And if it does it will cripple this country. Then is Medicare is great for those who don’t have to pay the tab for it and College for All means the government pays for your way and then steals back the money you will be making, so someone else can go for free also.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could go on and on how unrealistic Bernie and his fan club are. But I won’t! To me Bernie is an political evil that the United States does not need now or ever. If you look at his political fan base you will find college kids and the socialists who for years have been calling capitalism a failure. The problem is that if you take a look at places like Sweden and other socialist governments, they have high rates of unemployment and are failing. Socialism does not work, no matter how much these left wing nut balls insist that this is what we need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not get me wrong, I do not think that Trump is our savior. Nor do I look at any of today’s candidates and see any that are not pandering to the American people’s requests to get something for what they perceive as getting at no cost to themselves. Well guess what, someone has to pay the bills and it will not be Bernie and friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

What we need is less of the left leaning and right leaning politics that are prolific today. It would be much better for all if this country had a moderate leaning president.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/span><\/p>\n
