FEEL THE ($2.5 TRILLION) BERN …

BERNIE SANDERS IS COMING … FOR YOUR WALLET

Independent socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders says his “Medicare for all” single-payer nationalized medicine plan would cost taxpayers $1.38 trillion … a year. Crazy, huh?

Hold up … how can there still be $1.38 trillion a year worth of “uncovered” Americans? Wasn’t U.S. president Barack Obama‘s socialized medicine law supposed to take care of them?

(Ahem).

Anyway … Sanders has a way to pay for his plan.

“We will raise taxes,” Sanders told a Democratic town hall earlier this week. “Yes we will.”

Wow. That’s one way to do it … but a platform based on broad-based tax hikes is not what the Democratic establishment wants to be touting heading into the upcoming November elections. In fact Sanders’ scheme is so far to the left even uber-liberal former U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi – who rammed “Obamacare” through a reluctant, Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress in 2010 – doesn’t support it.

This is the history of ALL democrats; clueless. Supporting candidates who will raise taxes and make it more difficult financially for everyone. Yet these voters blindly support these democrats, then they blame republicans for all the issues their party created.

10:36 - the majority of the dumbocrat supporters don't make enough to pay taxes...or are living off the government dole in the first place. They're simply voting to continue their handouts at others expense!

Keep telling yourself that, 11:41, and you will believe it someday.

And you don't think Republicans will raise taxes?

Better Bernie than Clinton. Unfortunately, the Republicans gave us two wackos (the one connected to Goldman-Sachs won Iowa) and a young establishment flip-flopper.
