Feel the Bern
#71
RE: Feel the Bern
Except that it probaly wouldn't.  People would just pay it.  It would be the new normal.  

Dont get me wrong, I think that it should matter to people.  Simply noting that it doesn't. If the carbon tax difference between bounty paper towels and "other x" is 50 cents (and that's aggressive as fuck) then I pay 50cent more for bounty paper towels tomorrow. That's why a carbon tax is not a solution, but a profiteering trade scheme.

just to add to the above, if we want a solution, then we can't leave anything to individual or market election.  Everyone pays the 50cent tax for paper towels...period.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I must say Bernie is actually doing quite well for now, contrary to my suspicions. Maybe there is hope after all.

Then again, it's still early beginnings and Biden hasn't announced his run for presidency yet.

Well, statistician Harry Enten, formerly part of the 538 team, reckons that Bernie's chances of winning the nomination have now become real. According to him, if Bernie wins Iowa and then New Hampshire, he's on a clear path to victory.

RE: Feel the Bern
The Republicans attacked Bernie by saying that he wanted to get rid of the insurance companies.
Bernie responded by saying "You're damn right."
This is the authenticity that I love about Bernie. The insurance companies have proven that they won't cooperate with a 'universal healthcare' without engaging in corrupt crony crapitalism. They have intentionally pushed up the cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals while posting off the charts profits.
