Another election where I don't want either side's candidate. This is just silly... Punishing those who operate a small business and not even solving a problem to boot. Not to mention the fact he's advocating "tenant unions".
- Only nazis own housesGnash
- LOLaslip
- Proper communism would dictate that the taxes fund a House Flopping grant for those who sell for less than purchase********
- Why silly? House market is blown up like this. If someone wants to make money from a property they can build it.Beeswax
- “We’re taxing all digital marketing studios 25% now. Just become a full service agency instead.” Also, renovated homes has nothing to do with blowing up market.aslip
- It’s simple supply demand economics. If no one is buying, no one is renovating. This is not something the government needs to interfere with.aslip
- yeah vote against free healthcare for all for the sake of a few rich people who use housing as an opportunity to take advantage of other peoplecolin_s
- Dude. That's not how it works. I flip houses. I'm NOT rich. This is how I'm building my retirement and I would NEVER take advantage of others.aslip
- I'm all for free healthcare. Just saying he's kicking me and my family in the dick because of a misconception of who actually flips houses in the US.aslip
- You have to keep in mind that any of these proposals need to pass Congress. Chances of this one passing seems close to 0%.yuekit
- True. I've considered that, but it's still tough to vote for someone who perpetuating these misconceptions about housing.aslip
- Sincere question aslip, how are you getting the houses you’re flipping? Here in canada it’s predominantly a foreclosure industry.ben_

- To deathboy: I believe there's enough prosperity in this country to solve healthcare. EX: There's an insane amount of $ in this country that goes to military.aslip
- Agree with you on interest rates being used to prop up economy.aslip
- throwing money at problems dont fix them. healthcare isnt a prosperity issue as much as it is a wwII insurance subsidy boondoggle.********
- get rid of any incentive that promotes third party insurances and limit there stake in healthcare. Than market forces for transparent pricing can be had.********
- Also a ton of non-profit tax loopholes. Terrible when hospitals spend money on zen gardens and advertising just because non-profit rules********
- throwing money at it is like no kid left behind bush program and has been the number 1 solution forever that has had 0 results********
- and also a huge culture issue. we think there should be no limit or cost to keep a person alive. 14K a day on bed in a home should be public burden********
- just to feel good when you visit once a month. The cake and eat it too guilt associations of death. It should be a value proposition which may seem harsh to********

- ange. You change that end of life mentality game and you might see the industry shift from what they are selling. Usually super spendy stuff to keep you********
- breathing (not living) a little longer. Also it will cut down on chasing "prestige" of hospitals. The latest equipment to sell insurances. it does .01% better********
- odds but bills 45% better. There is so much wrong with healthcare and about 0 policy out there that will help********
- the problem is 98% of people don't care. they just want to hear simple answers. vote for me i fix this. and they're sold. useful idiots.********

Soooo, it comes down to the battle of the senile geriatrics?
Joe Biden - 77 years old
Bernie Sanders - 78 years old
Michael Bloomberg - 78 years old- I'd pay to see that fight.Nairn

- How old is trump?monospaced
- Trump was 69 when he was running in 2015Krassy

- Wow, Biden seems like he is 10 years older than the others.instrmntl
- lol, Trump is clearly the most far gone. Just listen to him talk.yuekit
- Biden is pretty bad too. Sanders and Bloomberg I would actually be the least concerned about in spite of being a few years older.yuekit
- I can't ever believe Trump was 69 - he's afraid of germs and nature, isn't he?Nairn
- Bloomberg sounds the most coherent and composed out of the 4.Krassy

looking over the sample ballot for today...
* There are two people who go by the name of Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente on the Texas presidential ballot. The Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente running in the Democratic primary is the son of the Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente Guerra running in the Republican primary.

the democrats are fighting the sanders movement harder than they've ever fought the republicans or trump on anything
the lines in the sand that will be drawn today represents the future of the democratic party: those to the right of bernie can join up or watch the party fracture down it.
- Who the fuck is going to get excited to vote for Biden? It's going to be like Hillary all over again if he gets the nod.mathinc

- Europe's debt is half of the USAs, they have better healthcare & more vacation time. These guys can fuck.zarkonite
- I would choose Sanders over Biden but Sanders supporters need to realize not everyone thinks like them.yuekit
- In reality there are legitimately a big bloc of middle of the road voters who needed to be won over or reassured.yuekit
- Funny the lil minds that focus on healthcare or vacations or such micro shit out of any larger relation to the world********

So from what I understand - you guys just need to fix your political system before asking for anything else.
You're just doing it wrong! Your entire political system is basically a joke.
Throw away your 2 party system, look into this thing called "Social democracy" - "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
...where you basically pay almost half of what you make in taxes and you get in exchange free decent perks - like universal health care, elderly care, child care, free public education, almost free or ridiculously cheap public transportation, guaranteed minimum wages, police that actually cares for law and order, free speech, minorities rights, immigration rights, great broadband internet, whatever etc.
You can also have as many political parties as you want - you just need to raise 500k-1mil signatures of willing people to signup, then establish a new party - left, center left, center - we're not keen on right parties, but those are tolerated too. There's a "green" party for people that care about the environment, there's even a pirate party in Sweden I believe...but the best part is: EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
(You can have 10-20 people running for president from different parties or even independent guys (kinda like Bloomberg who is not a real Democrat actually, he just has lots of money and wants the seat/influence) - they can all run for President, you can vote for whomever you like, then you count the total votes for each candidate and the best one wins. Simple enuff?)
Plus all this is plugged into the capitalist machine - if you earn & pay more, you get premium/upgraded services, but the free perks are decent/good/great already depending on how rich the country is - here in Europe the North has the best public schools, child care, social security programs, etc. as they are making 5-10x more than the South of Europe.
Sure, we're not living a utopia here in Europe, we got our problems, but nothing that can come close to what you guys experience.
Bernie is a social democrat - not a socialist!
He basically proposes you guys "import" this social democrat system that we have in Europe - or at least the basic ideas/perks - and make it work for the US. Plain and simple. You don't even have to import the metric system ffsake!
BUT to make this really work, Bernie needs at least 2 terms in office and the support of at least half the country, no exceptions! It's gonna be hard work, and he is really old to work at that level.
Best next thing, vote for that girl Warren, she's smart and driven, then get her to invite Bernie as Vice President and together they can implement Bernie's ideas and much more.
Sounds good? Go and vote.
p.s. you can get a 'free trial' of this social democracy game by just living for a few years in Europe...

- 50% tax rate graf? nowhere i'm aware of even has 50% tax bandskingsteven
- if you earn £50k in the UK effectively you pay around 15%, £100k and you pay about 27%, over £150k and you pay < 45%kingsteven
- I paid more tax in NYC than in the UK, they just get shit all for it.kingsteven
- ^yeah, it depends mostly on the country, some have lower, but I put in the top numbers - mostly it's around 30% but there is also VAT and other "taxes" so...grafician

- See the whole tribal social shit is old. Evolve and look towards liberal as in liberty and the individualistic systems. Get rid of tribal beliefs********
- And I get the personal greed of so many ppl thinking well my 50 percent is so little to others I will get way more value. But it's B's parasitic thinking.********
