Sanders: I’m Not a Capitalist, I’m a Democratic Socialist


Bernie Sanders, Democratic Presidential hopeful is promising free everything to Americans, and his blue print for socialist success is found in the Sweden and Denmark.

When questioned on “Meet the Press”,  Chuck Todd asked about his political ideology and he remarked that he was a Democratic Socialist.

If you’re asking me philosophically do I think that countries like Denmark and Sweden, where healthcare is a right and virtually free to all people, where public college education is free, where childcare is excellent and stronger, where workers in the middle class make higher wages where they’re stronger in terms of reducing income and wealth inequality– can we look to those countries for some guidance? Understanding they’re much smaller, more homogeneous and different than us. Yes, I do think we can.

Hate to spoil your utopia Bernie, but there ain’t now such thing as a free lunch, or college, or healthcare, or childcare!  Someone’s gotta pay. Denmark’s top marginal effective income tax rate is 60.4 and Sweden’s is 56.4 percent.  Middle class workers make higher wages and then give over half of it to the government.  This is progress? This is freedom?  This is what having free things looks like?

Bernie go to Denmark and settle in there, we don’t want your type attempting to lead American.
