Who should be president?

[Tezuni 2.0]

If the socialist is elected he will bring the USA further down than O'bummer did. He wants to distribute wealth to free loaders via social programs and give people $15 for flipping burgers when many people with four year degrees make that much at entry level positions.  Bernie phones will be iPhone 6 minimum because anything else would be 'inhumane'.  He'd have the rich taxed more, because forget capitalism and they're wealthy, so let's spite them and steal their money. And instead of just allowing Iran's nuclear program to run rampant through a 'historic deal' (everything with o'bummer is historic), good ol' bernie would probably hand them a few nukes on a silver platter for 'equality' and all.  The only issue I agree with him on is making political donations and bribes illegal, because congress has become so corrupt already that our only options is to get a constitutional amendment through the states for that to happen.

Tezuni I don't think you have the slightest idea of what you're talking about.

Tezuni, stick to hosting servers.

vote for Annoying Orange

[Kearn]

He mainly wants to raise taxes on the rich, which is something the country needs. He's not exaggerating about the 1% owning the 99% of the country's wealth.

and how would taxes reduce the amount of wealth they already own? unless you're advocating for widespread confiscation of wealth higher income taxes will not fix much of anything

[rambo1220]

why dont we just print more money

Um... Bernie Sanders wants to raise taxes to the wealthy mostly and for good reason. I think you should research his position more.

who isn't to say he wouldn't apply that to the rest of the country? He's a nice guy and all, but if I recall the recent string of presidencies, they all said prior to being elected "I'll do this, this and this", and by the time they're in office they go over to the entirely different side of subject.

If you seriously believe Annoying Orange would be even a half-quality president, then you need to re-examine yourself.

Because then the USD would be worth less.

Well, would you rather have another Bush or Clinton in office again?

and the USD is worthless to begin with. It's the exact same as Monopoly money, it only has value because we give it value.

and yeah this, if they're already rich af I doubt taxes would do anything to bring them down.

edit: gold standard ftw

The problem is they keep getting much, much richer. They can live to have their income more taxed than the middle class.

And Rambo, research  Sanders' consistency. And see above.

iran seems like a cool enough country

What makes you think that they're not making enough money to make a difference? The gap between the wealthy and the middle class is constantly growing, which seems to suggest that they're making quite a bit more than they used to.

That's called trust issues. He's held this exact position for over 40 years. I doubt he'd go against it.

or rather may I be linked to said consistency?

Then that's good to hear atleast. Boy better bring em down on only the rich (as if it were to make a difference anyways).

It doesn't seem like Annoying Orange knows what he's doing
He also wants to deport naturalized children of immigrants. Which is against the constitution. He also has said he wants to take away citizenship from Puerto Ricans, even though they are a territory of the US.

I understand the role he plays for republicans (he's not super "political" in that he is very candid and doesnt really beat around the bush) but he honestly has too little political experience and a disregard for the constitution. It seems like he's just riding on the "forget immigrants" ticket. Ideally he'll split the republican vote between him and some other candidate (as in, Annoying Orange would run independent once he loses the primary) and then Sanders will win. Of course, that rides on Hillary losing the primary to him..

Honestly, shouldn't be the voter's job to research candidates? You could have easily Googled that one up Rambo.

as for you, I saw it but it ain't too much trouble to give a link or two when referring to an outside resource, especially when there are so many other things out there said person could be misconceived by reading the wrong article with a similar title. Just saying, ideally it's better to give a link rather than making them go out and about y'know?

[Acerblock]

If you type in Bernie Sanders consistency, I'm pretty sure you would easily get factually accurate results.

I don't understand this conservative philosophy that the vast majority of poor people are just 'free loaders'. It must just be some kind of coincidence that most of the adults living in poverty were born into poverty too, right? Huge coincidence.
