The large number of government programs that have failed to carry out their duties and the dim view many Americans have towards Washington may be starting to take its toll on those who think big government is the answer. Sadly as people become more aware of cost overruns and the unsustainability of big government reality will quickly begin to show the flaws in this theory,<br /><br />The Democratic Party has long been thought of as the party of "big government" filled with believers that government can solve and is the answer to curing many of our woes, in our poorly planned two party system it is ironic that the Republicans are just as inept and/or corrupt that they cannot bring focus to why government fails to produce reasonable outcomes. Bottom-line is we are the ones who suffer in such a polarizing environment where needed change cannot occur.<br /><br /> http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/11/flaws-in-big-government-concept.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-9549991955119646592016-04-15T19:08:07.730-03:002016-04-15T19:08:07.730-03:00It would remove the burden of providing healthcare...It would remove the burden of providing healthcare from the employers. The annual uncertainty of the cost of providing that healthcare keeps many companies from hiring full time employees. That said, no plan is perfect, and this one may have it's fair share of problems if implemented.willie_dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003280708908799466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-4460314819324249722016-04-15T12:26:36.806-03:002016-04-15T12:26:36.806-03:00I don't mind paying a bit more in taxes as lon...I don't mind paying a bit more in taxes as long as corporations are now required to pay their fair share. However, as with all tax plans that claim to tax the rich, the first thing Congress ALWAYS does after closing the existing loopholes is open new loopholes for the wealthy to slip through. This is guaranteed to happen given close to half the members of Congress are also millionaires.<br /><br />For this plan to work a Sanders Administration will have to scrutinize and veto any bill that includes new loopholes for the wealthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-18752174531563348292016-04-14T18:39:03.495-03:002016-04-14T18:39:03.495-03:00The Sanders tax plan is total insanity.

The Sanders plans would effectively add this same amount to the total tax burden each year. <br /><br />I can't imagine what this would do to the economy and jobs. The people Bernie is most trying to help would be hurt the most.BeeLinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065018970505964953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-35917117959235820952016-04-14T13:49:22.111-03:002016-04-14T13:49:22.111-03:00If Sanders plan can eliminate insurance companies,...If Sanders plan can eliminate insurance companies, I'm on board. Insurance is the biggest scam ever invented. Less war and single payer system sounds good. I don't know about the whole free college thing. If everyone has something it holds no or very little value.

The earnings of the most wealthy continue to SKYROCKET while the poor and mid-class sink further and further into poverty. We can try it, or we can be at war within 20 years. Elect Trump or Clinton, and even the most conservative among us will have to admit, within 10 years, that the deck is fully stacked against us. If our country is so rigidly anti-communist (and I AM), why are we becoming slaves to Communist China? Because profit TRUMPS (pun intended) the people every single time. <br />Bernie SINCERELY cares about AMERICANS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
