    “Sanders' version of economic freedom is one where private insurers are barred from the health care market, where school choice is restricted in favor of zip code entitlements, and where the poor increasingly struggle to get a credit card. In other words, it isn't very free at all.”

    Except that Sanders scoffed at the idea that he should have paid higher taxes on his book, which he said made him a millionaire. He said during the FOX News Townhall that he paid all the taxes required by the federal gov't. and that he didn't see that he was going to pay any more.

    But that flies in the face of his own political philosophy. Bernie is okay with YOU paying higher taxes and thinks you should do so with a smile on your face. Bernie is happy to make his millions and enjoy the benefits of a capitalistic system he claims is immoral. He is a raging hypocrite at heart.

    In Bernie's world, he would be at the top of the food chain in a socialist system that he is presiding over as "president." In Socialism, those at the top live in opulence and limitless wealth, while the masses are living in abject, insufferable poverty as we see in socialist countries like North Korea and Venezuela.

    He loved it enough to get three homes out of it.

    I heard him yesterday on the Chris Wallace show on Fox. He kept going on and on about us being a democracy, but never mentions the Constitution which prohibits most of what he is for. I guess he forgot the oath he took to "preserve, protect, and defend" that great document and what it stands for when he took office as a United States Senator. It's the Constitution stupid!

    He and other liberal progressives hate the Constitution. They had no intention of being true to their oath. Liberals are dishonest to the core.

    Bernie is a liar.

    No socialist loves economic freedom. It's doubtful they even know what it is.
