Socialist Bernie Sanders is Full of Mud
Bernie S---head blames "the one percent"
Just because the rest of society isn't getting rich.
"The one percent is making all the profit."
Of course they are, for they're the ones
Investing in the stock market.
When a stock doubles in value,
It's the ones who OWN the stock
that make all the money -- Stupid.
If you don't OWN the stock
You don't make the money.
Duh, why didn't I think of that?
It's because s---heads like Bernie
Aren't encouraging you to invest in stocks!!
They don't want you to invest in the market
Because if you do, you may get rich,
You might even become a Republican!
Bernie the demagogue, posing as "a man of the people,"
How sympathetic he is to the poor - like hell he is!
He doesn't care about the poor.
If he did, he'd condemn them
for living for today, partying
instead of "denying themselves"
The poor tend to spend their money on cigarettes and beer,
He'd call for them to invest it in stocks, instead.
The "underclass" is infamous for being unskilled,
Unlearned,illiterate and not interested in changing.
Whatever money they make is spent IMMEDIATELY on drugs, sex, gambling.
Not one penny goes toward investment in stocks.
Why not give up smokes and invest in stocks?
"What, are you CRAZY?" they would reply,
To such an "absurd" suggestion.
No, it isn't the fault of the One Percent
That the underclass, etc, isn't sharing in the profits.
It's their own damn fault, mostly.
And also the fault of the entertainment industry
that exploits vulnerable people
Intentionally keeping them in a daze,
too busy watching movies, playing video games,
To read serious books - biographies,
Stories about great self-made men.
The moral zombies in the UnderClass
don't contribute their fair share to the tax base.
On the contrary, they use up the money
That the rest of the people pay in taxes.
How, by lifestyle choices that make them medical "basket cases".
Plus they wind up in prison for selling drugs.
The prisons are a drain on state government budgets.
They don't pay a lot in taxes because
They don't hold good jobs.
That, in turn, is because they never got educated.
None of these things will ever be touched upon by Bernie Sanders.
He's too busy being a modern day Don Quixote
Jousting at windmills that he sees as monsters,
Like the "evil" rich one percent
(that at least are TRYING to make money
instead of giving up and squandering their lives
by drinking and smoking their lives away.)

cool, I like a good political statement. yours is bold, and not very factual to be honest. I wondered if it was sarcasm ..still do.
but it made me think, which is always a good thing, so I applaud your boldness.
good stuff

Thanx for stopping to comment. "Not very factual" - well one fact i am aware of is that if I had invested a grand a year, starting back in the 60s I'd be sitting pretty by this time. Of course i could have lost a lot during the sell-offs.
But, speaking of sell-offs, recessions, the best time to buy is at the bottom of a recession.
The main point I am trying to make is that it's not a matter of the rich trying to get richer and the poor also trying.
The poor, the UnderClass at least, AREN'T trying (to get rich). They're satisfied to just "get by." They aren't thinking long term. Rather its day to day. "What's wrong with buying a pack of smokes a day? It's only 5 bucks." They don't see that it's NOT 5 bucks.It's 5 bucks times 365 days, or 1825 dollars a year. You are not wasting a mere 5 bucks, rather its close to two thousand bucks !! You don't see it - because you don't connect the dots, you don't add 5 + 5 + 5, etc. But my point - I haven't gotten to it yet - is this: If there's a basketball game, and one team is trying hard while the other team sits down, the team that's trying wins BY DEFAULT.
Sure, the one percent are the only ones profiting. But if the smokers and drinkers put cigarette and beer money
into good stocks, they'd be reaping big profits too. Because the 99% are so much larger than the one %,
their profits, collectively, should at least equal those of the one% The door is wide open, there's really nothing stopping people by the millions from buying stocks. All they need to do is stop thinking of 5 dollars a day as just 5 dollars. Think in terms of a YEAR instead of just today.

the stock market, Wall street is corrupt to the core, it's corporations in wall street that were the cause of most of the austerity in Europe, through their crooked dealings.
corporations pay fuck all tax and American corporations just like the others move around the world to avoid paying tax, fact is people who smoke in america pay more in vat than some corporations pay in tax
don't try you say. sit around smoking and drinking beer you say. again , the fact is that the low paid working class and the middle class pay more in tax than the corporations you speak of. they are the ones keeping your economy going but you consistently spit on them with your words
the minimum wage in your country is a joke, plenty of times it's been in congress to higher it and it's been voted down by the people you like so much. if the minimum was higher perhaps the working class could pull themselves out of the poverty which has been imposed on them
a fair week pay for a fair weeks work.
nobody should work a week just to keep food on t he table and a roof over their heads ..that's slavery ..but then you'd know all about that

No, you're wrong about the poor paying more than the rich. And if a poor man pays $5 per pack of cigs and he smokes a pack a day, times 365 days that's 365 times $5 = about $1825 wasted

you have succeeded in letting your ignorance be known, you have no clue about the world you live in.. let me help you.. it's not flat.

You say that I "have no clue about the world you live in" - let me tell you this: I live in a trailer court where half the people are on disability - even though they are under 50 years old. They don't have books in their trailers. Even if they did, they wouldn't read them. Even if they read them, they aren't biographies - the best kind of book to read. For bios are the record of the lives of great men, records that can inspire us to great feats.
A large percentage of the poor aren't competing with the rich to make money. They don't buy books about the stock market to find out how it works. I myself have a couple of dozen such books. I haven't read more than a couple. So I know how easy it is to just give up.
