you say "Taxing the billionaire is not the solution. "

Pray enlighten me why that is not a good solution?

You and I pay 25 to 30% of our income as tax but the billionaires pay like 0 to 5% tax. Why should they pay less while we pay more of our income?

Are you supporting they pay less tax than us because you think they should have privilege but we shouldn't? What you want is inequality and that is because you are brainwashed by the media that the billionaires own.

Billion dollar businesses like Amazon are paying zero taxes. Even if we get few of those industries to pay their fair share of tax, the money would be enough to fund a lot of those thing that you are questioning.

Johny,

Socialism is a scare tactic that only works on few uneducated fools.

US has social security, medicare, public roads and highways, public schools, police, fire fighters, postal service, sewer system, all considered part of sociaslism as they are funded by money taken from the people.

These are all part of democratic socialism which Bernie supports.

be-aware bro, majority of Americans are uneducated fools. How do you think Trump got elected? Did you forget 2010 midterm election where Obama (democrats) lost 63 house seat and 6 senate seat just because of Obamacare? With Bernie Sanders on the ticket and his idea of completely removing private insurance, it will be a major category 5 hurricane compare to 2010.

be-aware bro
if you say all those service are socialism program then every country are Socialist. you don't want government to provide you everything. tomorrow you will say give me food and shelter after that you will demand something else. who knows where its end.
Some program should be government funded but not all. you have to let free market compete so we can get good service in afforded price.
if you want government to be provider then the culture will grow to become more lazy and less competitive which will harm in a long run for the prosperity of this Nation.

Also, let's fix the problem of 10% uninsured Americans by screwing 90% of insured americans (majority of whom like their insurance https://news.gallup.com/poll/245195/americans-rate-healthcare-quite-positively.aspx ) is not gonna fly in election.

Johny,

Just because you think that most people will not elect Bernie you will not support Bernie? That is not a very good reason to not support him.

In many successful countries like switzerland, denmark, sweden, norway, canada, etc, they are free college, free medical facilities, all funded by citizens tax money. That does not make those country socialist countries.

I don't think Bernie has made any undue extreme socialist promises. If you think he has, let me know so we can discuss.

Just because thing were done wrong in the past does not mean you cannot move forward with better policies now. Slavery was legal before. People paid money to buy slaves. Would you say it's not fair for those people who paid for slaves to abolish slavery?

Just because you think that most people will not elect Bernie you will not support Bernie? That is not a very good reason to not support him.
Actually that is a very good reason not to support Bernie. For me the main (and only policy) is to beat Trump and I genuinely believe he is the least likely candidate to beat Trump.

In many successful countries like switzerland, denmark, sweden, norway, canada, etc, they are free college, free medical facilities, all funded by citizens tax money. That does not make those country socialist countries.
You forget to add our country Nepal where college in government universities (like many SUCCESSFUL countries you mentioned above) is almost free. Free education does not mean every single person will go to college or make a country successful, also isn't community college almost free in US?  Why not start there if you really want education?  I do however think the cost of US higher education system is high and something should be done for that.  You should also know nothing is free, let that be free college, free healthcare etc.  I'm okay with my health care but I do understand that there are about 8-10% who don't have.  Let's do something for those 8-10% rather than destroying everyone's. 

Your cousin is not happy despite not having to pay tuition fee and health care? Imgaine if he had to pay those.

Keyser, he is not happy because he as a taxpayer is paying for other people tuition and healthcare and in doing so can't afford to buy a house or a car.

You can imagine me who paid for my own tuition (both undergrad and graduate working my ass off in Ocean city) and now paying for my own healthcare too. Much happier than him.

Actually that is a very good reason not to support Bernie. For me the main (and only policy) is to beat Trump and I genuinely believe he is the least likely candidate to beat Trump.

Johny I am not sure where you get your information from. Do some research. Bernie is the only candidate who can beat Trump. Even during 2016 primary, Bernie was the only person who could have beat Trump. This information actually comes from various independendent polls. Just look at the turnouts at Bernie rallies. None of the Democratic candidates have even half the supporters as Bernie. Don't just listen to mainstream news and believe whatever they say is the truth. Just look at the IOWA Caucus, the DNC is trying hard to rig the election because they are afraid of Bernie's support.
Yes, I've done my research and it shows Trump beating Bernie.

You are talking of one case. Yes there are many highly educated Nepalese in the US who cannot afford 3 bedroom condo, and there are many not so educated Nepalese in other countries who CAN afford big mansions. Don't pretend like racism does not exist in the US. You are simply comparing apples to oranges to make your point :)

Show me one highly educated Nepalese in US who can't afford a 3 br condo? I've been to Canada and many of the European countries from your list and let me tell you, Nepalese in US are way more wealthy and have way higher life standard then there. Yes racism does exist in US too but it is shown that it does not exist in those courtiers.

Jonny you worked your ass off to pay tuition fees because that may have been only option to you. Most citizens or GC holder won't do like to do same. They will get students loans so that they can have some life at them same time. Students loans builds up a lot and many don't even go to school thinking about it. If they could use money toward cutting those cost down i am sure everyone would have good life after their retirement vs working thought out the life.

Bernie Sanders is the best President that US never have.

Yes, I've done my research and it shows Trump beating Bernie.

@be-ware,
I don't think white america is ready to elect a socialist president yet.
You are saying media is biased against Bernie, and asking people to look at the crowd, rally etc to see how he is the most electable candidate that can defeat Trump . That is what you see in a cadre-based party/movement, group of people who are convinced by a radical agenda. I remenber things back in Nepal. In many occasions all communist supporters, who many times would be the only voters, would be in rally, whereas NC would not have a big crowd despite a good turnout in ballot as they are mass-based party.
In couple places you wrote Trump and other candidates from Democractic party are going to work for billionaires, rich "class" people, and that Bernie is the only candidate who will work for common people (you probably meant a different or opposite class than rich "class"). I believe a lot of people know that very few uneducated white people are going to vote for him despite the fact they belong to such "class". You know why. The more radical his agenda is, the less chance of getting elected.
People are trying gather support for him by saying a moderate change is not going to fix things in health care, education, deficit, taxes, military spending, which is not true. I don't think you can get more vote by saying "Billionaires and rich people are scared as they end will up paying more taxes if Bernie get elected". It seems people think making voters of concious of their so called "class" is going to be helpful, I think that is not going to work.
BTW, people who do not pay a lot a tax may like the idea of making tax more progressive, but how much progressive you want to make it? To quote some recent numbers: The top 1% paid 37.3% of Federal Income Tax, the most important revenue source for federal government, whereas bottom 90%'s combined share was just 30.5%.
