Bernie Sanders would be a better president than libertarian, Gary Johnson

Everyone has increased which is the sign of a good economy, in part due to both capatalism and socialism at work. But that wasn't the problem. The problem is that 58% of all new income is going to the super rich. Yes social security and and welfare cost money, but they also save a lot of money. The amount paid by each person is less than how much each person saves by taking advantage of a system. You cannot just look at it in terms of direct revenue coming in. Look at in terms of money saved by having the program. His plan for expanding social security involves lifting the cap on taxable income because if you make $251,000 you are paying the same amount into social security as someone who makes $25 million, and thats not how the system was designed to work. And the 34% is almost entirely from those make way more than the average American, and I have been up front with that since the beginning. A woman's right to her body is not comparable to income, because she is not given her body because she works hard, income is not a right, your body is. A man's right to his own body is the only thing comparable to a woman's right to hers. And those rights are not equal. The entire government system will also fail if people do not pay taxes, it will not fail if woman have rights. These two things are not comparable in the least. It's not theft, Sanders believes that by lifting the bottom, the country gets better as a whole. The only reason that Sanders wants these regulations is because people, mainly CEO's, cannot be trusted with the welfare of their employees. I'll concede that point is not directly relevant, but from 1995-2003, New Mexico received almost $100 million in Wheat subsidies [https://farm.ewg.org...]. As for your question I did provide a response, and that is that the 1% does not get to shape policy by holding American jobs hostage. If they chose to they should be punished. You're right, jobs are not a right, which proves your income is also not a right, which is why it is not comparable to a woman's right to chose. And while a cheap labor market bring business, it does not help the economy. The worlds second largest economy, china, is the new production capital and is in one of the greatest economic recessions we have seen. It is claimed that one of the reasons that China's economy is so bad right now is by the presence of huge debt in the private sector [http://money.cnn.com...]. Which is not surprising given such low wages in China. The US has to find a middle ground to keep companies here and still protect our citizens. I don't think he is illiterate, and as accurate as you are with sources, I would expect a source if you had one. And again, Bernie Sanders is tired of the extremely corrupt private sector. And how do politicians get corrupt? When they are being funded by big business, so the host of the corruption is still big business. And Social Security is not a ponzi scheme, and you should read how social security is paid out now. The method of current tax payers paying for older generations was only true until 1983, when their was massive social security reform passed. And Johnson's plan would not save social security, it would lead to it's demise. The only reason Social Security was formed was because people were not saving anything for retirement, and they were becoming impoverished, by defunding social security, yes you will save people money, but most will not use that money to save, but rather just spend it now. By expanding social security and lifting the cap on taxable income Sanders will allow social security to live on longer than the estimated 2036. Yes Bernie Sanders will expand social security, but as I just stated it is not by increasing taxes for everyone, just making those who make more than $250k pay their actual fair share of taxes. And on the environment, I provided cost-benefit analysis, and the benefit was much larger than the cost. Where is your source that most pollution comes from the government. Most pollution is caused by large corporations [https://www.oneworldeducation.org...]. And the markets did not protect the environment, government regulations did. A government agency, The National Parks service sets a lot of those regulations. The only reasons for quotas is because when left with free power, fish will be overfished time and time again and will lead to extinction. The moral of the story, individuals will always look out for themselves, which is why every great society has had a governing body to protect those with little economic power from those who have little. Because money does equal power.
