This is good, if the passage of time allows you to only remember the things you want to.

The point is people like Bernie Wants to increase taxes on the rich to get rid of the wage gap between the rich Corporate CEO's and the middle class making a classless Society, a society where everyone earns around the same , socialism in short. And if there's one thing I know about socialism is that a poor person can't offer anyone a job. Besides, isn't that all politicians do? Remember only what they want to?

The middle class has been shrinking since the late 80's and you have socialism confused with communism. Taxing the super rich and corporations allows the middle class to grow by covering the cost of healthcare, major expense for families. Helping pay for university degrees, helps built economy and keeps people from 40 years of debt. Ever tried to start a family, buy a house, pay school loans and pay for everyday items like food/utilities/clothes? It also uses these tax monies to pay for roads, bridges, utility systems. Right now the lower and middle classes are footing the bill for all of these healthcare, college, and federal and state level tax resources. Many of our countries most popular services are socialist programs, number one being the Military which spends more money each year on its budget than the next 28 countries do. Social Security services which cover disability and retirement programs. No one is guaranteed a job until retirement or physical health until they no longer working. The military like SS are set up to protect you as a citizen. Look up the Great Depression. Social programs were what made this country great. Our interstate systems and our National Parks came from social programs born for the worst time our country has ever seen. I'm only writing all this because your response had a ting of youth on it. If you are young do some serious research about politics from the last 40 years, like in a book. You might learn something about peoples motives and desires. Bernie has fought for human rights and equality where as most politicians fight for money and greed.

Yes I know this, and I know what Bernie sees socialism as (Denmark, Sweden etc.). He sees these Nordic countries as role models. I myself come from a low income family so there off I do not support all of conservative ideals, some years im conservative others I'm a liberal, all depending on who is running. I also don't see how a few 100 people are going to pay for the college of over 200 million without outrageous tax on the rich or outrageous tax on everyone. Taxes may be so high as to stunt Economic development because weather you like it or not that 1% does in fact help our economy grow through a little something called capitalism as seen in China, since once china opened its nation to competition its economy went so high as to rival the U.S. we are not like Denmark or all those other Nordic countries, they have a population of around 10 million each, we have 320 million alone. I do support tax on the rich and welfare because it is necessary for families in order to get by, but there has to be a limit to what you do. If everyone is given the opportunity to go to college for free, then everyone would go to college and very little will be left of the work force, not to mention the overcrowding in universities and the lack of jobs for college graduates. I think of this as another one of America's mood swings, every decade or so America goes liberal or conservative on who they want running their country (I have studied this). Right now we are on a bit of a limbo since people just want things to get done which is why they are voting for people like Trump and Sanders which are unique among the other candidates because they appeal to the voters anger there fore making them similar in that way. Another thing that makes them similar is that they both promise things that are almost impossible to accomplish (especially trump).
