    Default Let me get this straight

    Let me get this straight. Bernie is now saying that college students that take out government loans to avoid going to work and instead go to leftist universities to party and get degrees in worthless overpriced liberal arts nonsense & other worthless crap should get their loans paid off by a tax on other hard working taxpayers investments in their 401K’s and investments for their future plans.

    Did you ever notice the fact that though taxes are supposed to be levied by government for the benefit of ALL of the population, but Democrats & Socialist Democrats, progressives and other crooked bastards think that taxes are for the purpose of getting elected to power positions in the government by dividing the population into particular tribes of particular special interest to assure the votes thereof for themselves. Did you ever notice that the left deplores successful people unless they’re successful devoted leftist? The leftist deplore profits unless it’s they who profit. The left strongly desires to punish those who achieve wealth, unless they, (the achievers of wealth) are leftist. Leftist need victims & someone to blame for the victimhood just like Adolf Hitler needed the Jews to blame for the economic and other woes of the German people. Leftist need a divided nation, victims, & culprits guilty of victimizing those victims. The wealthy, the successful, the investors, the planners, the builders & the creators. Those are the victimizing scum according to the leftist elitist saviors of the downtrodden & racially discriminated against. All white folk are racist except the wealthy white elite leftist. All wealthy folks are greedy white folks and uncle Tom blacks and other conservative folks of any skin color.

    Bernie Sanders is a crooked communist who never had a job until he got elected to a government seat by victimizing the uninformed and blaming the successful among us. Bernie Sanders married 3 times and took his last honeymoon in the old Soviet Union taking notes on how to become an elitist wealthy political hack and crooked politician. Bernie Sanders is a shameful anti-American and neo-communist son-of-a-bitch.

    If you hate America, capitalism and Bill Of Rights guaranteed freedom, VOTE BERNIE SANDERS!

    Art happens to be worth something quite intangible.

    But I suppose the greediest rich people who own lots of high priced art only own it because of it's value.

    Weird.

    It's their own limiting hang-up.

    I have to laugh at the people who refuse to own something because it's cheap.

    Even if it's a really good thing, there is a mindset that won't own something if it appears that it may be inexpensive.

    They are afraid to look 'common.'

    And so, their life is limited to only things that cost a lot of money, and they cut themselves off from the rest of the world.

    Wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart (and not for any reasons of objecting to how Walmart disrespects it's workers.)

    Such fools!

    The best things in life are free.

    And there are a LOT of things in life that are wonderful, but don't cost a lot of money.

    Having a rich life is not so much a matter of having a lot of money as it is seeing the value in something to YOU.

    One man's trash is another man's treasure!

    Lots of jobs require a degree to get considered. A Liberal Arts degree is a degree and it shows the person has a well-rounded education. College is not an apprenticeship.
    Robo presumes to speak for the left when he can barely articulate his own hateful beliefs. He has no fucking idea what the left thinks and proves he does not post after post.

    RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.

    Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

    BTW, STEM degrees are all the rage because they are in high demand right now. Hardly a "liberal arts" thing procured at a "leftist university." But then what else can we expect from an adherent to the party who supports ignorance?

    It's hard to be unbiased when "education is stupid" has become a right-wing talking point.
    I can't help but wonder if Republicans want to keep people ignorant, because ignorant people are more likely to vote Republican.

    What in Bernie's world is "free?" Who's it "free" for?

    Where's your support for Bernie & his agenda? The thread is about Bernie & you can't even mention his name once and articulate his wonderful agenda & tell the class "WHY" it's the best future for America? I'll understand if you can't produce actual topic decorum & honest debate.

    “Well rounded” to do what? Liberal Arts degrees & other trash sold by today’s leftist universities at prices only damned fools would pay are why so many college grads are living in Momma & Daddy’s basement working at MckieDee’s and trying to pay mommy government back. They could have gone to a trade school at peanut cost & got a degree in a trade paying well, well above “Bernie’s “living wage” & had NO bleeping government loan to pay back. College tuition carry outrageous cost for the simple reason that every time colleges raise their tuition mommy government raises the availability of lone loot, while the universities make millions of those “nasty” profits & their leadership gets extravagant 6 + figure salaries. It’s the great private/government education scam.

    Robo presumes to speak for the left
    Not hardly! Robo doesn’t speak stupidity & neo-communismn.

    when he can barely articulate his own hateful beliefs. He has no fucking idea what the left thinks and proves he does not post after post.
    “Left thinks” is a fucking oxymoron!

    Just the usual non-reply by a non-thinker! Shooting at the messenger isn't logical or rational debate. Thank you once again for proving you're devoid of such talents.

    Let the JPP world take notice that a thread having Bernie Sanders as its star topic is totally ignored by the leftist responders. They apparently have zero credible arguments favoring ole Bernie & his neo-communist agenda, but they do have insults & unfounded accusations to hurl at the OP messenger.

    As that messenger I would like to thank the leftist responders for their comical & thoughtless exhibition of brain-cramp & partisan ignorance.
