This is apparently palatable code for robbing the rich and giving to the poor or something like that. I just cannot fathom how a supposedly educated intelligent man can think of our economy as a zero sum game, where for the poor to be better off you have to take things away from the middle and upper economic classes. Away from the people who are working their asses off and succeeding in our capitalism based society. He sits there in comfort undreamed of by most of the non-democratic world and he speaks as if he wants to ruin the system that made not only his success possible but the success of countless small business owners and middle class workers.
Does he want to tear down all successful people to reward those who have proven incapable of succeeding in the most favorable environment for individual success ever conceived? Apparently.
His other plans include:
- Universal, health care.
- Free college tuition.
- Free child care and universal preschool. (no need for parents then)
- Universal national service (Some kind of civilian Draft?)
- Universal 401(k)s meaning that tax money was taken to match the input of the contributor
- Free job training for everyone.
- Wage insurance to make sure no one ever has to work for less no matter how outdated their skills or saturated the market.
- More subsidized public housing. (Living here I see how successful that program is....hint: this is sarcasm)
- A larger earned income tax credit for working poor. (ie taking one persons tax money and just giving it to someone else)
I just do not see how he can believe this fairy tale society could work, all I see is ruining any chance for anyone to succeed on their own.
