I love being repeatedly told how I "just don't understand how it works."

Don't you know we can only support trillion dollar deficits for preemptive wars and corporate tax cuts?

Imagine media pundits armed with line graphs, charts and dripping sarcasm asking, "Well, it's a nice thought but HOW will he pay for it?"

The truth is that Medicare is a payroll tax just like Social Security. Raise the payroll tax. Businesses will immediately be relieved of one of their biggest expenses, and the people will be relieved of all sorts of stress.

But I see strong parallels between his emergence and the strong emergence of the SNP in Scotland at the last UK general election, from whence I hail...



So, basically, if a bunch of haggis-shaggers can do it, youse guys have no excuse.

On Sun Aug 23, 2015, 09:07 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

What kind of Bernie supporter are you?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251541608

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Meta, divisive straw man crap. Please stop these posts they serve NO purpose. Please vote to hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Aug 23, 2015, 09:15 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I read it as a not exactly successful attempt at humor. IMHO, the lounge is a better place for it, but I don't think it's meant to be disruptive.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Oh, my! Hide this inane divisive crap? I think you know the answer.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm going to leave this post alone because I believe that the site and the hosting actions are heavily biased toward Hillary Clinton and that's not right. I believe it was a Hillary supporter who alerted on this and I believe that there are a lot of alert stalkers hoping to keep potential Clinton detractors from serving as hosts.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I thought the poll was funny. Not worth a hide.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

with a plastic Cesar Chavez where St. Christopher ought to be.

When I heard Biden was about to be running I went out to the flower bed and uprooted the inverted St. Joe.

Well known H supporter chose the Anyone but Hillary option.

Either a sense of humor, I haven't seen or pushing an agenda to be victimized so they can have a reaction!

Have I always been this out of touch with polls?

Have we always been at war with the Hillionaires?

Can you add a new category for Dansko shoes? They're top drawer like meeee!
