The average income “pie” in the USA is around $60,000/year/person. Imagine some four-member families.

Pie Family 1 - $25,000/year
Pie Family 2 - $215,000/year

rebaked a la Sanders-Warren:

Pie Family 1 - $35,000/year
Pie Family 2 - $205,000/year

There’s also the English Section 106 system where just 30% of the houses in a large project have to be “affordable” (not that any English letter carrier could afford an “affordable” house).

My Florida county has a similar system.

My friend in DC has a nearly-new “affordable” unit and a housing voucher to boot. The “affordable” amount is around the maximum housing voucher amount.

To buy printed copies of all the Florida state-wide building codes costs about $3,000.

Sanders is old enough to remember the projects in the large cities and what happened to them. He clearly either didn’t care or is not interested in the past facts and impacts of what that sort of thinking did. Marxist PoS.

According to one of his campaign managers they are going to call the gulags and put conservatives in them.

In 1979 Iran took 70 Americans hostage for 444 days. America united, but one politician stood alone. Socialist Workers Party leader Bernie Sanders supported Ayatolla Khomeini against the US, condemned President Carter for imperialism and accused the hostages of being CIA spies.
This is what Democrats have become.

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor
and forces you to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

LIBERALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both cows, slaughters them for their own food,
and taxes you to death for worthless social programs, for having
the animals originally.

LEFTISM
You have 2 cows.
The State terrrorizes the animals until they can’t produce milk,
beats you and your wife to death, and puts your daughters & sons
into the Pedophile Nation, for the Epsteins, Weiners, Clintons etc.

PROGRESSIVISM
You have 2 cows.
Progs advocate for advancements in science, technology,
economic development and social organization, but they’re so full
of bullshit, nothing ever changes.
You still have 2 cows.

MARXISM
You have 2 cows.
The government takes both and tosses you into a hog pen, where you’re
devoured and never found.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you nothing.
They shoot your family and put you in a gulag.

The State shoots the cows, you and your family.

CRONY CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
The State takes both, milks, slaughters them, and makes a tidy profit from the sale
of choice meat cuts and fresh milk.
You get some lousy hamburger and a jar of sour milk.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, hires a sub-contractor to milk the other, and then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

Democrats have no plans but, to control, tax, and limit the human race in mind, in imagination, and in dreams.

I say this based on the Democratic plantation envisioned by LBJ. Living apart from The State is dangerous!
