Bernie Sanders vs. Michael Bloomberg

A billionaire vs. a democratic socialist. The clash between Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg, then and now. (via Brut News)

Tensions are rising between Sanders and Bloomberg

Ahead of the debates in South Carolina, tensions have escalated between Bernie Sanders, the Democratic presidential front-runner, and Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg on Sander’s appeal to younger generations

“Young people listen to Bernie Sanders and they say, ‘Yeah, democratic, that’s good, socialism, yeah that’s that social media stuff.’ Because our kids no longer learn civics in school. They no longer study Western history. They no longer read Western literature.”

Sanders on future generations

“Younger people are the future of this country. And what the support that we are receiving tells me that the ideas that we are bringing forth — the notion that it is too late for establishment politics, and establishment economics, that we need some bold ideas — this is what the future of America is about.”

On healthcare

“We don’t need Medicare For All proposals that are more likely to reelect Donald Trump than to expand coverage.”, revealed Bloomberg.

“Health care is a human right, not a privilege.”, stated Sanders.

The candidates on wealth distribution in the country

“What a wonderful country we have. The best-known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss here? I’ve been very lucky, made a lot of money, and I’m giving it all away to make this country better, and a good chunk of it goes to the Democratic party as well.”, expressed Bloomberg.

“Mike Bloomberg owns more wealth than the bottom 125 million Americans. That’s wrong, that’s immoral. That should not be the case when we’ve got half a million people sleeping out on the street, when we’ve got kids who cannot afford to go to college.”, Sanders shared. He continued, “We cannot continue seeing a situation where, in the last three years, billionaires in this country saw an $850 billion increase in their wealth — congratulations, Mr. Bloomberg — but the average American last year saw less than a 1 percent increase in his or her income. That's wrong.”

    You know we have a gov't and media owned by and operated for the aristocracy, when if you suggest restoring the founding principle of America you hear that referred to as things like, communist, unAmerican, crazy. :)

    There is no such thing as Democratic socialism. At it's core, socialism doesn't believe in the individual. They start with attacking the economic right to control your own money, your own decisions, your own health care.... They want to control the car you drive ( if they let you own a car) the medical care you receive, the education you are eligible for, the way you heat your home... Be prepared for thermostats controlled by government, outlawing SUVs, taxing gasoline ( $7 a gallon gas) .... Sign your paycheck over to the government and THEY decide what benefits you get back. When socialism fails, they regulate speech to stop criticism, double down on their failed policies, outlaw dissent, imprison those that protest... Socialism does not believe in individual rights.

    Bernie is the next FDR who also was a Democrat Socialist. About time we stop billionaires altering our own Government against its own people only to benefit their interests. Now is the time to make our Government work for us,redistributing money that was Stolen from us back into our hands for a change. We’ll all pay taxes- difference is does it go straight to billionaires & corporate Welfare OR Provide us better public schools, better medicine prices, improved roads & infrastructure. We already know that the Billionaire in the White House hasn’t brought us lower medical pricing nor better healthcare nor improved infrastructure. For all our tax money we sorta got a partial wooden border wall. Trump, you failed, you’re Fired!

    If I eat healthy, exercise and take care of myself should I have to pay for someone who smokes, eats garbage and lays about all day? If I'm prudent and live within my means should I have to pay for the fools that waste their money? If I work in the trades and I've never been to college should I have to pay for some entitled kids liberal Art's degree? Tell me how that's fair?
