If you believe that Bernie is the 'answer' throw out ANY of his policy ideas and let's examine it.

Yes. Very different.
We reward elite bloodlines with our money and labor.
We allow our government to far-over-reach - A government funded by the billionaires.
We allow chemicals in our food and water that other countries ban because of the known dangers of them.
There's A LOT good about the 99% of this nation.
and a LOT bad about the 1% of this nation.
The 1% are ruling. Not the 99. This is very central, and very much needs to change.

Oh, and one more!!:

Your turn: GO!

Bernie is an economic illiterate.
That is absolutely false. Show us how he is, with examples.

The top 1% of people with the most money are ruling.
Look up.. Flouride.
Bromulated Vegetable Oil.
HFCS.
GMO's in other countries.
Alternative cancer CURES in other countries.
FDA on cannabis/medical marijuana.
Hormones, drugs, vaccines etc in animals..
Side effects of drugs... etc.
The list goes on and on - Other countries do studies on how bad something is, America ignores it ( bribery or stupidity, you tell me. ) and the average person pays the price.

I'll bite.
Proposal of higher tax rates across the board, which is a CONTRACTUAL financial policy, while the nation has a problem creative jobs, starting businesses, paying off personal debt, already stretched personal savings, already LOWEST labor participation rates, market nervousness after QE and Yellen's Fed Rate hikes and proposals, Obamacare effect going into 2016-2017 which have not even fully HIT yet.
Just to name a FEW pieces of the economic puzzle that would actually REPEL against a contractual "bottom up" Social based economic system
In other words how the F$$&%*#& is Bernie going to pull that off without tanking us first?
