2020 Primaries

Here is the problem with that.

A 40 hr job in 1960 could have earned you a house, car, and education pretty easily.

You earned that.

A 40 hr job in most cases today doesn't get you that.

You still earned it. You didn't work less hard.

LOL

Have you ever had to support yourself?

 

[82_VOL_83]

Depends if you work 40 hours a week than the government should ensure that you earn enough to eat.

If you can't work, the government should provide you with ample supplement until you can.

As long as the gubment is feeding you, you should not be allowed to vote.

 

[zaqhhh]

Because those that pay for it have 4X the care of other countries.

Wrong, go look at quality ratings. Look at out lifespan. Look at our infant death rate.

You are kidding yourself if our abundance of quality is why we pay more.

Again work shaming. Go to minimum wage workers and say it to their face.

Our economy needs those workers. It doesn't matter if everyone was a 200 IQ genius, we would still need those jobs

I said it to my own face.

200 IQ? Everyone? Methinks you don't understand that concept

 

[zaqhhh]

Because our system needs help...but you don't need to completely blow it up

If we paid 10% more, you could say that. We need a revolution in healthcare. We pay double. Would have paid even more had Trump had his way.

 

[luthervol]

Correct, they wouldn’t have made the loans without the good faith of our .gov backing them. What other debt backed by our gov should we default on?

I'm not sure, we can just start with the student loan crises and see how that works out........and then go from there.

 

[zaqhhh]

Taking away the right to vote, very American of you.

What are they going to do run home and tell their mommy someone was mean to them at the drive thru?

There’s no crisis . There’s only loans that need to be paid by people that took them out . The crisis will come when the government forgives them .

By minimum wage workers I assume that you are talking about teenagers working fast food jobs or bagging groceries. Hell as a business owner who employs a lot of people, our high schoolers don’t even start out at minimum wage.

 

[Girth Brooks]

Taking away the right to vote, very American of you.

If you fail in this country, you deserve it.

Are you planning to reimburse me for my expenses at UT?

 

[zaqhhh]

LOL

Have you ever had to support yourself?

What was wrong about my statement?

In 1960, you would not have had to work all that long in a typical 40 hr week job to have those things.

Now, you work 40 hours pay half your wages for rent. Drive a crappy car or go way into debt for a good one. And don't even dream of having a house or healthcare.

 

[zeppelin128]

Bernie being disingenuous yet again. Pete accepted money from 44 billionaires: fact. Also fact : the maximum campaign contribution is $2800. So Pete received a whopping $123,200 from billionaires.
Bernie is flat out lying about Pete. Funny he didn't mention the unlimited money being raised for the Bern by the super-pac Our Revolution, which he helped create and openly backs him.

 

[volinbham]

tell us a little about your work history zaqhhh

I just don’t even know where to begin. Who taught you this complete load of ********?

Low-wage Workers Are Older Than You Think: 88 Percent of Workers Who Would Benefit From a Higher Minimum Wage Are Older Than 20, One Third Are Over 40

Anyone over 16 making minimum wage is their own fault. Hell my daughter started at $10 hr at McDs while in HS. She was made over 30k one year bartending at Chili’s while in college.

 

[Sea Ray]

You're not living in the real world. Think about the unintended consequences of what you're proposing...

OK, everyone gets to go to the doctor free of any charge or paperwork. You can go with every runny nose or sore spot on your body. Doctors/hospitals will get paid like they do for Medicare right now. Imagine the lines that'd form as you struggle to get an appointment. Imagine how much harder the doctors, nurses, hospitals etc will have to work in order to keep up with demand as they take a huge pay cut. Many will quit seeing that it's not worth it. Hospitals will go bankrupt. Rationing of care will happen like you've never seen it. Seriously, this would be ugly. Fortunately the powers that be know this so therefore it ain't happenin'

 

[hog88]

Boomers

You need to sue whatever teacher fed you that line of crap.

You do realize Bernie's point is not that Pete is buying the campaign. It's that why would we trust a campaign in which billionaires are so enthusiastic about.

He isn't being disingenuous, he is just appealing to a different voting Bloc than you.

 

[volfanjustin]

Any job in which you work 40 hours should be compensated with a wage that allows you to feed your family, receive healthcare, and achieve an education.

Otherwise why work?

Personally, I wouldn't work a 7.25 job with no healthcare. Not worth it.

See the difference between you all and me is that I say jobs should be worth something.

You say I don't care if jobs suck or if you work them, you aren't entitled to anything for working.

Jobs that pay 7.25 serves one of 2 purposes, college or high school kids or for an adult those jobs can be one hell of a motivator to do something better.

It's a crisis for millions. Which by my definition would make it a crisis.

It’s a crisis of their own making.
