“We have to teach America what this is.”
Bill Maher wants to educate us about economics, you guys. And he wants to take the stigma away from the word “socialism.” He wants you to know that simply because you pay into Social Security and Medicare and you happen to support the military? Well, you are a socialist, dontchaknow. So you might as well get on the Bern train to full-on “Democratic socialism-ville.” Socialism isn’t a dirty word.
Come on, you conservative, free market freaks.
Bernie Sanders can talk about banks having too much power and power being in the hands of a few and how government needs to regulate that power, yadda yadda…
And now he’s talking free education, free healthcare, free daycare, and guaranteed family leave. Free! Free! Freeeeeee! Well, all paid for by rich people, y’all. Maher asks him at the end of the interview if he’s sure that the 1% will pay for all of this free crap he’s proposing, and Bernie’s response is, “well, it may have to go down a little lower than that.”
Translation: Everyone is going to have skin in Bernie’s free-crap game, because Bernie has no idea what in the hell he’s talking about. Because NOTHING IS FREE. And there’s no way that the top 1% can PAY FOR ALL OF THIS FREE CRAP.
Unreal.
Here’s the bottom line as to why Bernie the Socialist is gaining ground. This isn’t brain surgery, folks. The main point of lefties who support this loon is one that has been a growing cancer in this country for well over a decade now. And it’s precisely why the fawning-over-the-old-guy interview below is important. The audience of sheeple is indicative of a collective of low-fos in America that demonize individuals who make their own way in this country and then do well financially. It’s a cancer in this country. Somewhere along the way, it’s become bad for small business folks who work 20 hour days to become larger business folks. It’s become bad for Americans to become filthy rich. The kind of Mitt Romney rich that I’m proud to say I’d love to be, frankly. That I was raised to believe I could be if I worked hard enough.
Let’s just get real – those demonizers compare, and then hate the people they compare their lives to. It’s a miserable way to go through life, really. But it’s the world we live in now. It’s a world where folks see people like the Housewives of Podunk-Where-ever and Keeping Up With The Kardashians. They see talentless, good-for-nothing, uneducated hacks making GOBS of money and they, too, believe that they’re entitled to a piece of that pie. Simply by existing. Simply by being.
They hate the fact that other people have what they don’t. And they’re pissed off about it, because they have liberals to remind them that they don’t have their FAIR SHARE. Celebridiot liberals have reminded them of this inequality, even. Which is rich, considering these are the same celebridiots who have made their gazillions through the American free market system. Make no mistake – the message from these yahoos is that it’s totally OK if people like Jay-Z and Beyonce’ and Kim Kardashian are rich beyond their wildest dreams. But it’s not OK if a CEO of a company that employs millions of Americans like you and me makes the same kind of cash through the same free market system.
Because Jay-Z and Beyonce’ and Sex-Tape Kardashian work for a living. Or something.
That’s liberal logic right there, folks.
We saw it in 2008 and 2012, and this time, it’s the old white dude that’s going to give those pissed off people their fair share – in the form of socialism. Healthcare is a human right. Daycare is a human right. Free college education is a human right. Next thing you know, Internet service and filet mignon and Coca-Cola will all be human rights.
And socialism? Well, Bernie just happens to be flat-out saying the word out LOUD this time, and Bill Maher wants to make it less taboo. By the sounds of the audience and the swarm of morons following this loon, I’d say that yep, it’s becoming less taboo.
At least the last two times, the Dems went with the diversity angle ALONG with the “he’ll give you free crap!” messaging. But this time, they’re just using the old dude with old ideas that other countries have used to extinguish millions of human beings to get the same sort of fair-share-B.S. to work for them. Germany, Russia, and China, anyone? And for those of us with Actual Brains, we know that it’s just pure desperation. It’s anti-American. Because it all boils down to the notion of entitlement. Everyone wants something that someone else has. They don’t have it, they want it, and that’s just not FAAAAAAIIIIIR!
But the sheeple in this country are eating it up. Because they didn’t get their free crap back in 2008 and 2012. That guy promised them free gas, free healthcare, and free mortgages (as well as healed oceans, mind you), and he didn’t come through – so maybe the old socialist loon will get all of that for them – and wait! There’s more!
That’s why Bernie is appealing. FREE. CRAP. Lots and lots and lots of free crap that some faceless rich dude is going to pay for, right? Only it’s not going to be a rich dude who pays for it, you ignorant morons.
Same story, different package, different marketing strategy. (And Bill Maher endorsed that other guy, too – gave him lots of money, as I recall. Some people never learn. Apparently, bad comedians are in that group.)
I wonder if #feeltheurn going to propose a tax on overpaid comedians and celebrities, too?
The thing is – the low-fos will keep listening to this misogynistic jackhole. Well, he’s only misogynistic to conservative women, because we don’t matter in that whole (completely fabricated) War on Women.
“We have to teach America what this is.”
Damn straight we do.
Wake up, sheeple.
