Feeling the Bern: A man of the people

Feeling the Bern: A man of the people

Many of his political opponents criticize him and say his ideas are outlandish, too expensive and could never be practiced in real life without failing. But what they fail to realize is these ideas of social democracy are practiced in many Nordic countries such as The Netherlands, Sweden and Iceland and these countries are amongst the greatest in the world. Where is he going to get the money to do all of this? By taxing corporations more effectively, getting rid of tax loop holes, stopping corporate welfare, by relieving the taxes on the middle and lower classes, and raising them on the super-rich at the top that have a lower tax rate than you or me.

It’s time we the people take charge and elect an honest, good-hearted man to be our commander-in-chief. Bernie Sanders wants nothing but the best for you. He’s never flip-flopped, and hasn’t given in to bribes from Wall Street. He’s our only shot at making America a better place.

Please, do your duty as an American, and get out there to vote for someone who will stand up for your rights, and your American dream.
