VIDEO: Students love Trump's tax plan...when told it's Bernie's
Campus Reform ^ | 10/21/2017 | Cabot Phillips

Students love Donald Trump's tax plan when it's packaged under Bernie Sanders' name.

President Donald Trump’s proposal for comprehensive tax reform was almost immediately dismissed as heartless and impractical by his political opponents.

But what would some of those opponents think if they were told the same plan was being proposed by someone they adore—Senator Bernie Sanders?

To find out, we headed to George Washington University to ask students their opinions on Trump’s new tax plan. WIthout much explanation, the students immediately made clear their distaste for the plan.

“It’s not the most efficient, nor beneficial to the general populus,” said one student when asked her opinion of Trump’s plan.

“It’s better for the upper class than anyone else,” added another.

After watching student after student express their disapproval of the plan, we then asked those same students what they thought of Senator Bernie Sanders’ new tax plan.

Immediately, they expressed excitement and support after hearing the details of the plan.

The only problem for them? There was no tax plan for Senator Sanders. The plan they loved was actually President Trump’s.

How did they react? Watch the full video to find out!

Enjoyable video.

I'm actually impressed by the responses of the young people when told the tax plan they endorse is really Trump's. At first they're shocked, but then most admit that anything associated with the name "Trump" is to be immediately dismissed. They seem to convey a bit of chagrin at this. It's almost as though they're admitting that they've been brainwashed.

The positive I take from this is that they now wish to be more open-minded. I really can't ask for anything more from them. Just an open mind, is all we can ask...

The uninformed students should drop out and become bathroom attendants.

The trouble is they're not being taught to use their mind at all. They're just being trained to parrot whatever their professors and friends are saying. Difficult to open a mind that's not even in use.

Doesn't that require some skill?

That’s right: these “Anti-fascists” are applauding a speech made up completely of quotes from none other than Adolf Hitler. The only edits made were simply to tailor it for the audience — which doesn’t seem to be bothered by Hitler’s rhetoric in the least.

I’m glad they see the light. But what is disturbing is that they have to be shown it. These kids have no clue as to how they have been brainwashed into being compliant leftist dupes.

This hilarious and yet it is pitifully sad that these children have been so brainwashed they are completely devoid of any critical thinking skills.
