He's a leftist after my own heart. At the ripe old age of 69, he's got more hutzpuh then the entire Democratic Caucus put together.
For those wondering if I've lost my mind Senator Bernie Sanders pointed out what a ROTTEN deal the bipartisan tax deal really is, and he did it with an old school, actual filibuster.
Bernie rocks for a lot of reasons, not the least of which, he's not afraid to embrace the socialist label, and by being an independent, he isn't beholden to any political party. Guy can say whatever the fuck he wants and the only ones he's responsible to are the voters, LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
Unlike the Democrats, Sanders isn't afraid to point out the OBSCENE concentration of wealth in the United States. He isn't afraid to trumpet that the wealthy, regardless of tax rates, have gotten such a large share of the nation's money, that they rival their ancestors from the goddamn fucking GUILDED AGE.
What's next? Steerage on Carnival cruises?
As far as socialism is concerned for this radical (for anyone who actually reads me ((thanks by the way))), I'm not a fan of the government controlling means of production. Too much power in too few hands. But I do have to call BULL-FUCKING-SHIT on the right's idiot vision of socialism which paints everyone as mindless worker bees.
True economic socialism allows the worker to set his own salary based on his level of production. Can you believe it? A true meritocracy? Where a person is actually worth the wealth they create? Instead of sending the cash upstairs to pay some asshole executive for doing nothing?
