Maybe because I want to inherit a livable country?
Well, how do you start such a long list? Perhaps with the fact that he actually cares about the people? Or maybe with the fact that he's not just saying things to get votes… Bernie has been saying and supporting the same things for thirty plus years. If he's lying, he's doing a tremendously good job at it.
Lots of people like to say that socialism doesn't work. Or that we can't afford single payer health care or free college tuition.
But we can- without paying extra taxes. 270 of the top U.S. economists back Bernie's economic plan.
Under Bernie's economic system, your taxes are not raised unless you make 250,000 dollars a year or more. And honestly, the ultra-rich have been given tax breaks for FAR too long. It's time they pay their fair share.
What about the for-profit hospitals/pharmaceutical companies? Do you realize that the U.S. pays more for medicines than any other first world country?
Bernie wants to help the middle class. Bernie wants to help you.
If you don't believe me, go to his website. There, he has documented how and where he is going to get all the money for this "free stuff."
I may not be old enough to vote for a president, but I am old enough to realize that I want my generation to inherit a livable country- not one destroyed by war, debt, or surrounded by a wall.
(Another thing, a lot of people seem to think it's ridiculous to pay for free college tuition, but it's totally okay to pay for a giant wall? What the fuck America?)
