Bernie Sanders' pie-in-the-sky ideals

If he's elected, we'll all "Feel the Bern"


"Feel the Bern"? If Sanders gets elected you will. You'll be scorched. He's been living off the taxpayers all of his life and wants everyone else to have the same opportunity.

There is only one question you need to ask: Who will be paying the bill? I'm speaking directly to the scores of young people who are passionately supporting Senator Sanders. You are smart. Too smart to fall for this. Mr. Sanders is high on pie-in-the-sky ideals and very low on the practical execution of those goals. Go to his web page and read, "How Bernie pays for his proposals". In every case it is increasing taxes. It appeals to many because he targets the corporations, Wall Street and the wealthy. Let's look at how he would pay for college for everyone. He would tax Wall Street Speculators. Delve further and you will find this in the report on which he bases this idea: "To begin with though, again, we emphasize that our conclusions are not based on anything close to the type of solid foundation in research and evidence that one would normally expect in considering such an important question." He is selling you something which his own experts admit is not firmly based on good solid principles. Shirley Reynolds
