Bernie REALLY wants you to know he'll raise your taxes, and Rob Lowe is REALLY tired of it

If you watched CNN's Democrat town hall last night, well, I pity you. I may watch MSNBC for the comedy value, but there are certain things to which I refuse to subject my physical being. A two hours endurance test in which elderly socialist gasbags scream about how you're "not paying your fair share" is one of them. I did, however, check out the highlights. My favorite comes to us from Bernie Sanders, who promises not one, not twice, not thrice, but four times that he absolutely intends to raise our taxes as part of his quest to completely obliterate the private insurance industry.

Enjoy: Again, that's: "Yes, we will raise, we will raise the, we will raise taxes, yes we will." So congratulations! President Bernie is going to tax the hell out of you, but you won't have to pay those pesky insurance bills anymore! What Bernie fails to mention is that everyone's insurance bills would have to be astronomically high, because he's not just talking about single payer healthcare. Everyone's favorite crotchety old coot is offering new or increased spending proposals which total a staggering $18 Trillion over the next ten years. On the upside, if he wins, we'll all see a lot more of Larry David. Speaking of Hollywood, Sanders may have a lot of support among celebrities, but at least one famous actor isn't exactly "feeling the Bern." Rob Lowe, star of "Parks and Recreation" and "The Grinder" is less than enthused about Bernie's angry-old-socialist shtick.

Watching Bernie Sanders. He's hectoring and yelling at me WHILE he's saying he's going to raise our taxes. Interesting way to communicate.

Don't worry, Rob. Bernie's completely unelectable, so you really don't have to worry about living in a world where he's actually allowed to implement policy. Hillary on the other hand... She's even worse.
