I read an article criticizing the Scandinavian countries systems that bernie loves. Basically i think it used sweden as an example, talked about how its economy was built with capitolism in the early to mid 1900s and then shifted to the more socialist democracy. They started a crazy heavy tax on the rich and job creation plummeted because there was no incentive to get rich. I want to say it was something like a 100 percent tax over a certain amount earned.
So basically when he references these great socialist nations he doesnt want to acknowledge the capitolist system built them.
Personally i wouldnt mind if we had free college and healthcare, the only problem i have with it is bernie has no idea how to make it happen. His talks of taxing the rich to pay for it dont even cover like 10 percent of the cost it would take. Im not sure how the "single payer" healthcare thing works either
But to switch gears a little bit, lets say its rigged and a republican has to win
Do you guys prefer ted cruz to trump?
