    You see what Bernie wants? Power and control. Especially over the profits.

      Yep. And at the end of it all, we and they too, die ~ all the power and control for what? Absolutely nothing. They lose it anyway. What a waste of time.

      I wish there was some way we could turn his ignorance into a power source: we'd have enough power to run the US for at least 100 years.

      Government knows that money allows people to express their freedom. Therefore all money should be in the hands of government and be given out only by them. Without money, we citizens are pretty much controlled to sitting in one place and doing nothing

    But of course, he is a socialist.

    My favorite Sanders nonsense was a part he wrote for the WSJ about the US Post Office being affordable and not bankrupt. He manipulated the numbers and showed that it wasn't a problem as long as the government paid the ridiculous postal worker, 20 and out, full retirement costs down. He also argued that UPS and Fed Ex should not be allowed to compete with basic letter carrying.

    The only thing I like about him is that he actually admits to being a socialist.

    I am reading Ayn Rand's "Anthem" for the third time. It is very disturbing look at a possible future where what we call "politically correct thought" has gained complete control over mankind. This is where the "liberal-progressives" would take us if we allow it. Bernie Sanders is a vanguard of the coming dark age where authority trumps intelligence.

    So who regulates the regulators, and who regulates the ones who regulate the regulators. I think regulation by force always fails at one level or another. Take any governmental agency and you can see the massive failures

    He also has problems with Vermont's gun laws, as they are less regulated at state level than federal, unlike permission to operate motor vehicles. Like most democrats, republicans and other statists he wants one law for all, administered from the former Potomac swamp. Said law not to be hindered by scraps of paper such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

    Bernie Sanders claims to be a socialist. Of course, he has a problem with anything outside the direct control of government. No surprise here. Its expected that socialists will object to "unregulated" private enterprise.

    Bernie Sanders is the Old Left. He seriously believes that capital accumulates for the reason that capitalists accumulate it, like zombies who cannot see beyond it's glinting glare, like a Thorin Oakenshield with his dragon sickness. I thought Thorin didn't owe a dime to Laketown, I must have the dragon sickness too. LoR aside, Bernie believes that labor time is the deciding factor in what people are owed. How else could he say that if you work 40 hours a week, you should be guaranteed a certain standard of living? For those unfamiliar with Marx, that notion comes straight from Das Capital. The depth of the belief is that discovering or innovating or risking it all and succeeding does not entitle you to anything because it was just plain dumb luck. Sadly, I feel Mr. Sanders will have such dumb luck when he runs for office. Will he then share the presidency with his opponents?

    When we are ruled by those whose only real talent is getting people to vote for them we are in serious trouble. Atlas Shrugged is full of people like Bernie Sanders.
