rising housing costs, beyond inflation, are just another way Capitalists are extracting wealth.
Don't want to be homeless? Pay the Capitalists exorbitant rent, or interest for decades.
Or do like Boutons who lives with his mama in her smokey singlewide.
Brilliant campaign strategy though. It’ll never happen but it’s going to drive millennial turnout and if he’s elected he can just blame Republicans 4 years from now when it doesn’t happen.
Its more or less Sanders’ version of the wall the Mexico is going to pay for.
Free healthcare, free education, free housing, free beer, free sex. Give it to us all Bernie.
Someone else noticed and "emailed" it to Darrin.
Seriously Darrin, you didn’t notice Buttplug desperately trying to be the gay version of Obama until just now?
You can pay down your student loans with your reparations check.
fingers crossed i gets whats due
Shared it with him on facebook most likely
biden's polling numbers have been holding up leading to the SC primary.
SC has 54 pledged delegates... good opportunity to gain ground. right now biden is 30 delegates behind sanders, and only 10 behind pete. while the actual delegate count at this stage, mathematically, doesn't mean much in a race with over 3900 delegates to be had, the narrative/momentum would be big just days before super tuesday
biden isn't leading in many super tuesday polls, but he's within margin of error in some big states like texas and north carolina
The only person offering free is Trump with free tax cuts for the rich.
its funny how much perspective shapes things...
right now, increasing taxes on the rich to provide healthcare for all is seen as an attack on the rich
if we started from a more humane system where everybody had healthcare, and taxes on the rich were a few points higher... and then some candidate said "we need to take away healthcare coverage, open up a private market, and cut taxes on the rich", it would be perceived as an attack on everybody else
It's not just the rich that would have higher taxes.
I have never had a Facebook account
Not seeing any future presidents there, tbh.
true. everyone making more than 29k would pay a 4% medicare tax on that income, in the place of paying more than that for premiums... let alone deductibles, copays, and out of pocket expenses. for the working class and just about all of the middle class (depending on what percentile you use), its still a net gain
I guess we know where that $15 minimum wage figure came from.
yeah, because somebody who works for $15/hr for 40 hours in 52 weeks will earn a whopping 31,200 and be gorged out of a whole 88 dollars in medicare tax (4% of the 2,200 they earned in excess of 29K) in exchange for also having healthcare
that sly bernie... pretending people on minimum wage get a raise when they have to pay $88 dollars a year for comprehensive healthcare
https://thecollegeinvestor.com/14611...h-millennials/When it comes to money, millennials do have some of the highest student loan debt rates of any generation in history. The average millennial has $30,000 in student loans.
I don't think many, e.g. Darrin, etc fully grasp the economic reality of anyone under 40. Late-stage capitalism isn't doing them any favors. When your net worth at 22 starts off massively negative... that arc follows you for your entire life.
But, but, but our current system of begging on GoFundMe for enough money to pay medical bills is working out so well...

and our Dear Leader Trump has an ironclad plan to fix health care cost inflation, I'm sure. He just hasn't told us yet what that is after 3 years. It's sooper seekrit.
The magical free market will solve this all by itself to make everybody better off, amiright?In 2016, healthcare spending reached $3.3 trillion, about 18 percent of GDP. The sector is also the biggest employer in the country with about 11 percent of the workforce, or 16 million people, but the economic benefits that come along with that output also have a “high price tag,” according to Moody’s.
Costs are anticipated to keep rising about 5.5 percent annually on average over the next decade as the U.S. population ages, CMS estimates, posing “a challenge for the U.S. government, households and businesses,” the analysis reads. Despite this, the U.S. isn’t faring any better when it comes to key measures of population health, such as life expectancy and infant mortality rates.
So your idiotic sense of humor is all natural? I thought for sure you were just regurgitating boomer facebook memes.
Or is Chump right and you still do e-mail chains?
