Bernie Sanders will never be president of the United States, but he will go down in history, favorably, for being the "Moses" of the income inequality movement.  One day his dreams will be reality in America.

Aw geeze

That's too bad...now we're down to dumb and dumber.

You can have the type of government in the future, but I don't think you will like it that much.

Maybe in 50 years, but not anytime soon.

But by that time there will be no "rich" left to tax and steal from.

Taxation is not theft. It is a societal decision as to how to distribute the benefits of the productivity of a society.  Or do you believe that a billionaire did it by himself? 

Stupid question. I know you believe that.

Excessive or usurious taxation is indeed theft.

I'm just saying there are not enough of the rich to tax to pay for all these green schemes, and that even more taxation will result in less of them 

I don't think you believe that.

It had looked like 3 people pulled ahead of the rest of the field (for The Democratic nomination): Biden, Warren and Sanders.

But the Sanders seemed to be fading-- and it started to look like this would mainly be a race between Biden and Warren anyway....

He wasn't quite as healthy as the President.

So, he's done. Whatever chance he had is gone now. He might be perfectly fine for the next 8 years, but supporters aren't going to take that chance. Surely he knows that. I bet he drops out of the race soon.

I am not a Bernie fan but I am glad his procedure went well.

American citizens should not be penalized for being wealthy.

And, for not having children, being single, not owning homes, etc.  

The tax brackets need to go and bias deductions.  Make it a simple percentage across all income.

Obviously Jimmy Carter was right - although I think he really was talking about Biden.
