[@Platinum9951]

***** Let me rephrase that. I don't think you want to but I think that'd be what would happen if someone asked about pay inequality for women and he said "there isn't much pay inequality actually." I just think it's a silly point to complain about. If he does believe there's a wage gap (many do still) he'll do research and figure out that all-though there is in some places, it's very insignificant. I don't believe that he knows there isn't a wage gap yet says there is anyways, but even if he knew it was small why give people who make a living blowing things out of proportion ammo to fire at him. In his position I think he has to be very blunt about what needs to happen in this country to create change and gain support, but he also needs to be careful.

[@easterlywesterly9304]

Platinum9951 If Bernie still believes there is a wage gap, he is simply naive. It's recognized now that the studies conducted to prove the "wage gap" were not scientifically honest. They didn't take into account the types of jobs men and women typically hold, and they didn't compare the number of hours worked. They just did a one-to-one comparison of men's and women's salaries. I'm sure Bernie knows the truth. He's not dumb. Do you really want to elect another career politician who casually speaks untruths to garner votes?

Get ready to have your taxes jacked up then if he wins. Read his tax plan. His great strategy is to start taking taxes out of the pocket of a man who makes $29,000 ( the new 4 percent taxes would be applied at any income $29,000 and over). I edited this post to reflect the exemption calculation mentioned by the poster below: The $1,200 in new taxes would be approached after income surpasses $50,000 -- since the first $29,000 is exempted, according to the explanation from the poster below

[@scylax7669]

@@JohnSmith-tc6xx I'm pretty sure you don't actually pay any federal income taxes if you make $29k or below under his plan.

[@JohnSmith-tc6xx]

​@@scylax7669 Read his whole tax plan on his website man. People making under $29,000 still pay the same taxes. Anyone making over $29,000 (a huge chunk of the working class) will have their taxes raised. I guess you could say that's great if you have 5 kids and your monthly health care premium is $600. But what about an unmarried young person making middle income salary whose premiums are relatively low ... they could be taxed more than $1,300 extra with no benefit to offset it. This post was edited to correct the original calculations -- the poster Styrant pointed out that the tax increase is 4 percent beginning with $29,000 income -- whereas the calculation i used factored in 4 percent on any person's TOTAL income if they made at least $29,000. Still, a young working person making $52,000 for instance, and paying $1,000 a year in premiums would be losing $600 under Bernie's plan.

Great populist appeal but how does he pay for all his freebies. Ezra Klein is a good interviewer.

Unless you are able to be in the the top percentile on a examination (the baccalauréat in France) you have very little chance to get into a college. Others are shunted into trade schools - where they learn trades - auto repair’ electrician, etc. In France, the rich often hire tutors to help their children pass the baccalaureate. . And only a few get into the elite colleges from which most of the government leaders come from. He is correct about the influence of money on elections and on the super packs like Bloomberg did to buy his way to be the Democratic candidate. Money also matters as the elite schools like Harvard, Yale, MIT and the business schools of Wharton and Chicago are still the places from which most government and financial leaders

Talochka you are very wrong here. For one, Bernie openly says how he will pay for things through taxes on pharmaceutical companies and wall street speculation as well as a 4% tax on those earning over $29,000 to pay for free healthcare for all which works out cheaper as compared to insurance. Furthermore, you are very wrong about France and the Nordic companies. Not all universities may be free in Europe but you can always rely on really low interest student loans and grants/scholarships. Furthermore, a baccalaureate is just a qualification - you make it sound like it’s a test for only the smartest of people (which technically if you’re in university you’re already smarter than the average person so it kind of negates the point). Furthermore, France’s education is unrelated to the US as there are different schools based on your field of interest (e.g, the arts, sciences, humanities, etc) which all have different funding schemes. Seriously, just look up “French Higher Education System” and come to terms with how different and complex their system is. It is certainly cheaper than the US, as with most European countries

It has nothing to do with this is a 73 year old man without a grasp of how R&D expense works in the healthcare sector, it is definitely not due to me having a Bachelors degree in finance and can see this man's lack of understanding. I am selfish and ignorant.

Mark Raymond Ya, at a whopping 24 years old, I am good on Bernie Sanders. Sounds like the 'revolution' when Obama was running. EVERYTHING IS GONNA CHANGE GUYS!!!!!!! Also, no citation for anything you said and calling Ronald Regan and other politicians 'Libertarian', makes me wonder how much you truly understand the meaning of the word. Here is some help, if they have a R or D next to their name, they are not probably not a Libertarian.Anyone who thinks otherwise does not have a grasp on the word, political party or the philosophy of Libertarians.I guess you have a grasp on the word slander though. This helps, since you apparently don't know how corporate income taxes work. Did you even look at any of the companies' 10K filings for the years you cited? Of course not, that is hard work and I don't even know if you can read a balance sheet Also, even though my family has been here for over 300 years, according to you, I am not part of the 'We The People', even though if my ancestors failed, I would not be here and you wouldn't even have this country. This is due to the fact that they would be dead and I would not exist. It's okay though, inclusiveness and 'us vs them' is a good mentality to have...... if you are trapped in a Hegelian Dialectic :)

[@oppressivestraightwhitemal6161]

stephencolbert5 and....I don't disagree with your statement in anyway. I have voted for 0 Democrats and 1 Republican my whole life. That one Republican was Ron Paul and I vote every year and have since 18 years old.

[@oppressivestraightwhitemal6161]

Mark Raymond LOL Well, calling me stupid is not the way adults have conversations, then again you show how addled your mind is with every post you make. First off, most if not all, the people you listed are not Libertarians nor did you provide proof they are Libertarians. Secondly do you even know how personal and corporate income taxes are calculated and did you read any of the companies annual 10-K filings? Of course not, you would have to be a grown up and not an ignorant wreck of a person to even know what a 10 K is. Get on a treadmill, get that second chin of fat off your face, then humble your ego and actually research things, instead of copying and pasting shit off the internet and thinking are smart. Sorry Mark, maybe if you educate yourself on finance, economics and tax laws we can have an adult conversation. Until that happens you are just another kid wearing diapers in my mind :) Also, Bernie Sanders supporters are financially illiterate, something you have proved, so you should call yourself 'WE The (smart) People'. I will take a screenshot and share your post though, so everyone can see how egotistical Bernie supporters are.

It's incredibly, incredibly sad that the world did not get to see this man as the US president.

[@magiccarp3710]

As a Republican this man makes so much sense

[@karlg5697]

No way. In the US the wealthy buy the President they want, and the Congress too.

I've never in my 21 years of life have heard a politician speak with a clear, concise, and logical tone when it comes to TRUE ISSUES that affect not only the American people but the World! He is the REAL DEAL!! #feelthebern #bernie2016 #berniesanders

"If we can spend half of the time in this country talking about why the middle class is collapsing as opposed to football or baseball, we would revolutionize what's going on in America" Amen Bernie. Football, TV, hair, and nails are our soothing pacifiers. One of the most eloquent, on point, and honest interviews I have ever heard. How can people vote for anybody else? LOVE and TEARS for you Bernie. Someday, Dylan E

[@no-mc2bu]

One of the most reliable, reflective and reasonable persons in the us-american political circus I notice. All the best, Bernie Sanders and may our heavenly Father protect You.

[@aclasscali]

This is my favorite interview of Bernie Sanders. lots of creative open ended questions. I cant get enough of it. I have listened to the entire interview many times.

[@OmarDelawar]

So glad he is running for 2020! Who is voting for him? He will win this time!! FEEL THE BERNNNNNN!!!!

[@chuckgreenfield4484]

Bernie can count on my vote. The people who are for Biden are so cynical. They cannot see greatness when it's right in front of them.

Even when I was a conservative, I understood that universal healthcare was important.

Key point here was! You where obviously no true conservative...

@penguins inadiorama Yeah! The system where those pesky 1% take 90% of the wealth. Look, universal healthcare did not break Germany, the UK, Sweden, Canada, etc. It won't break the US either

Too bad bernie said this was his last time running. So lets go for AOC2024

[@nicoka484]

I haven't watched this yet but my prediction is it will be one of the best interviews I've ever watched because it's Vox who actually ask important questions and explain things properly for their views and Bernie who genuinely answers the question he's asked and doesn't try to skirt around them

[@nicoka484]

my prediction was pretty much right. He even brought up climate change when the interviewer didn't ask him about it! Bernie is the type of politician all countries need: truly for the people of the land
