Bernard Sanders: Stretch Limousine Liberal
American Thinker.com ^ | July 25, 2019 | Rich Logis

Posted on 07/25/2019 10:11:52 AM PDT by Kaslin

Show me where Bread Line Bernard Sanders has voluntarily implemented "democratic socialism" into his own life. You can't, because he hasn't. Ever.

Politics is sales. Why should any of us buy what Sanders is selling if he himself won't buy what he's selling? Sanders wants businesses to pay $15.00 per hour to their employees, but some of his own campaign staff earn less than that due to the number of weekly hours they work. Now some of those employees are demanding they be paid what Sanders wants to force upon all business-owners. Sanders has responded by limiting the number of hours some staffers work in order to keep their hourly pay at $15.00.

This is what we call "irony." Democrats believe in "higher taxes," "redistribution of wealth," "publicly financed elections," "democratic socialism," "fundamental transformation," or "it takes a village" not for themselves; they all love money as much as anyone else. They just believe in these guaranteed-to-fail policies for everyone else.

Some of his campaign staffers reportedly said: "We cannot be expected to build the largest grassroots organizing program in American history while making poverty wages. Given our campaign's commitment to fighting for a living wage of at least $15.00 an hour, we believe it is only fair that the campaign would carry through this commitment to its own field team."

Some also reportedly said: "Many field staffers are barely managing to survive financially, which is severely impacting our team's productivity and morale. Some field organizers have already left the campaign as a result."

“Hey, HEY! You can’t post stuff like this to denigrate me!

I’ll have you know I’ve been a successful leader and had a job since I was 41 years old!

My wife used to run a University! We now have a lake house!

I drive a brand new BMW, and, let me tell you something: Those British build a pretty damn good automobile!”

Here is the biggest problem with socialists/marxist; The know their abomination fails the test of human nature and the human condition and that it’s a problem of scale, but they have their scale reversed. The only time socialism has even the remotest chance of succeeding for any significant length of time is down at the familial level. That is where love and kinship make it work.

Socialists on the other hand, particularly elites like Sanders, think that you have to expand it. They think it needs to include everyone, and the scope is never big enough if anyone has an option not to participate.

This however is where socialism fails more and more. No one wants to tow the load for a billion other nameless, faceless freeloaders, which is why you always have to pair up a cult-like selfless brainwashing to a totalitarian prison of social terror, in the end, and it still falls down. Subconsciously they know that people always measure what they give with what they get... some more inequitably than others, but you can never lubricate an economy of any group on the currency of good intentions alone.

For the limousine liberals, it’s not just about the fact that it’s not their own money, it’s the fact that they NEED the right to take everyone’s money just to fool themselves and their mindless followers that it will work.

Venezuela’s rapid descent from prosperity to poverty could happen to America just as quickly. Surrendering liberty for security is irreversible.

Teachable. A frightening prospect.

Everyone should understand that this is Elizabeth Warrens doing. Her union plants have infiltrated Sanders campaign and are playing dirty tricks. Hillary mist be her campaign manager.

The only thing the nomination of Sanders would guarantee the Demagogic Party after they lose in 2020 (which is going to happen, regardless of whom they nominate) is four years of BS about age discrimination, ageism, ageist white supremacists, etc. Their nomination of Sanders would be an early Christmas present all tied up with a bow.

Believing what Bernie is saying makes as much sense as working for him. Better off if you do neither. A news media that wasn’t already in the tank wouldn’t even give him press.

Commie ‘elites’ always live waaaaaay better than the people.

That's the big advantage of communism (for corrupt elites). If the people don't like it they'll be shot. None of the ‘voting them out of office crap’ when the commies take over.

If Rich Logis was living under a commie administration and wrote this piece his life would be in danger.

Being a politician is not a job. It's being a parasite.

Back in the 193Os there was a very prescient novel written; It Can't Happen Here. A left-wing demagogue gets elected President. Still worth reading if you can find a copy.
