Lmfao you say "guns" like its a bad thing.
Americans have the right to weapons for defense, hunting, or just because we like guns. The reason doesn't matter because it's a constitutional right.
We have about 10 rifles in my house, and yet, my family doesn't hurt anyone. I want an AR15 just to have one. The US government and Army will trust me with .762 and .556 full auto machine guns, but when I go home I can't play around with a semi auto rifle? That's bullshit right there.
The hippies who are afraid of guns, and want to impose on our rights, and chip away at our freedoms, are part of the problem not the solution.

Ban other religions? No, we should momentarily bar the refugees from entering for safety reasons. The Paris attacks were done by "refugees" and after Brussels ISIS claimed they're preparing for an attack in America.

Although, we should ban ALL religions from having to do anything with any government policy as it already should be. Religion has no place in the modern world.

I see no justification as to why we can't have universal healthcare, free tuition for public universities, or prevent the richest from becoming richer. And to those who will reply to me asking how to pay for it, look at Sander's plans before you reply.

As for my opinion on Trump: I like that he speaks his mind, he is authentic, non-establishment, and is different from the traditional politician in that he is a businessman. But I think he'd be a foreign policy nightmare, he is hateful, and he is arrogant. I don't think much progress would be made because most republican politicians hate him, and he isn't democrat. I do not support him.


We don't need a socialist government because it will just put us even more in debt.


He doesn't want to make us a socialist government. We won't go into more debt. Educate yourself on what Sander's is calling for and how he would do it.

Among Sanders's most significant proposals are implementing a single-payer health care system, breaking up big banks, raising the minimum wage to $15, and ending free trade agreements NAFTA, CAFTA, permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with China and the recently-signed Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Thus far, most of the senator's ideas -- economic and otherwise -- have been focused on spending, without a clear picture on how he would pay for his proposals. However, one can infer that paying for his programs would require one of two things (or a combination of both): an increase in the deficit, and higher taxes.


On free college tuition:
The cost of this $75 billion a year plan is fully paid for by imposing a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy seven years ago. More than 1,000 economists have endorsed a tax on Wall Street speculation and today some 40 countries throughout the world have imposed a similar tax including Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, and China. If the taxpayers of this country could bailout Wall Street in 2008, we can make public colleges and universities tuition free and debt free throughout the country.


On healthcare:

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

This plan has been estimated to cost $1.38 trillion per year.

THE PLAN WOULD BE FULLY PAID FOR BY:

[*]A 6.2 percent income-based health care premium paid by employers.
Revenue raised: $630 billion per year.

[*]A 2.2 percent income-based premium paid by households.
Revenue raised: $210 billion per year.This year, a family of four taking the standard deduction can have income up to $28,800 and not pay this tax under this plan.

[*]A family of four making $50,000 a year taking the standard deduction would only pay $466 this year.

Progressive income tax rates.

Revenue raised: $110 billion a year.Under this plan the marginal income tax rate would be:

[*]37 percent on income between $250,000 and $500,000.
[*]43 percent on income between $500,000 and $2 million.
[*]48 percent on income between $2 million and $10 million. (In 2013, only 113,000 households, the top 0.08 percent of taxpayers, had income between $2 million and $10 million.)
[*]52 percent on income above $10 million. (In 2013, only 13,000 households, just 0.01 percent of taxpayers, had income exceeding $10 million.)

Savings from health tax expenditures.

Revenue raised: $310 billion per year. Several tax breaks that subsidize health care (health-related tax expenditures) would become obsolete and disappear under a single-payer health care system, saving $310 billion per year.

Most importantly, health care provided by employers is compensation that is not subject to payroll taxes or income taxes under current law. This is a significant tax break that would effectively disappear under this plan because all Americans would receive health care through the new single-payer program instead of employer-based health care.

There are more for this one, but I added the most significant ones. Note that under this plan any expense a household would pay is after they have saved money from the previous system.

As for breaking up the banks, read [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I'd like to point out that the US taxpayer payed $700 billion to bail them out because they were too big to fail. I also encourage you and others to read more about the other issues.


What happens when all the rich leave the country because of ridiculously imposed taxes. Say goodbye to our economy. They pay out their ass as it is. $75 Billion / 365 Million = $205 Extra per year taken out of taxes... not to mention thats an estimate. They might take more because they can. Healthcare? Don't even get me started. They charge $15 for a .50 cent toothbrush.

You don't understand how it would destroy our economy. We will be giving more power to the government as well, which is ridiculously over-powered right now. We might as well become a communist country which our country fought so long and hard to prevent. (ie. Vietnam and WW2).


Rich people aren't going to leave because of a tax increase. A significant tax increase in the US will still be less than their other first world alternatives.

They could easily just move to Cuba or a non-extradition country where they could pay less for everything?

Well firstly I am from the UK so that may effect my judgement.

He is obviously a very smart and popular man so he should be given that respect.

From what I have read I have seen some very silly policies but I would like to see what does come of him if he does receive presidency.

I'm not really following this due to the fact i live in the UK, but my opnions are that he can say some of the stupidest thing and think it's alright when what he says is clearly not. But let's think about it he turned 1 million $ into a multi billion $ company and he is very smart with these types of things.

America has accepted more than 115,000 Iraqi refugees since the start of the Iraq war. Care to guess how many ended up committing terrorism?
