All this "free stuff" Bernie is offering up is not out of his own pocket.
It will cost someone and worker bees, want to guess who??
We already pay for free saftey nets. The taxes already paid isnt enough to keep those safety nets afloat so where will the new funds for new freebes come from?

If Bernie knows, he isn't saying and that is for a good reason.

At the same time, there are people paying huge amounts to insurance companies that do their damnedest to not pay the bills, once the need comes along.

Dad told me that he didn't get insurance for me, because the monthly cost bumped up by several hundred dollars, and there was also a minimum amount that they expected you to pay, before the insurance company did their job - something like $6000 would be required from us first. We can't afford that.

Why do people keep getting this wrong?

The US Constitution guarantees to every state a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

Guarantee of Republican Form of Government

SECTION 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

These types of "benefits" are what a full democracy entitles to it's citizens.

How will these "benefits" be funded???

That't the answer I seek... not a definition of democracy.

I'll look in to read Your funding presentation.

Average working class American pays 28% in taxes. American Billionaires pay 23%: If we all paid equal taxes, we'd by default have more funds as a country.

Whats 5% of a billion, per billion?

The math: for every 1 billion taxed by the current standard paid for by the average American tax-payer---50 million dollars is saved per billion for them yearly. As hard-working Americans they deserve the break I suppose, because of all those extra hours they put into their work week. Let the rest of America cover for them.. these 2,000 people need the help.

So lets do more non-hypothetical math. Billionaires are not paying the same as working class people.

in 2017. 2,043 billionares. Combined wealth is $7.71 trillion

7.71 trillion dollars of unequal taxes?
If we all have equal taxes: 7.71 trillion x the 5% difference =

385 billion US dollars from equal-taxes-paid added to the US economy

The United States is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.

The democrat party is one of several political parties in the US...having nothing whatsoever to do with the form of the US government.

When the Constitution talks about a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT it's not talking about the Republican party.

The Democratic Party was solidified in American politics with the election of Andrew Jackson in 1829.

The Republican Party came along with the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

Klobs and booty have dropped out leaving Biden and bernie and Bloomberg.

Bloomberg May serve as a foil that aids bernie at this point. Warren is still in but she seems to be less popular than bernie and thus siphoning off less votes.

I predict Berne will come out on top tomorrow taking Texas and California.

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday botched a quote from the Declaration of Independence during a speech in Texas.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created by, go, you know, you know the thing,” he said, struggling to remember the words of the famous clause from the Declaration of Independence...........
