Bernie and his Fox News townhall

First, before posting on Bernie at the townhall, this occurred a few days before that. We link to it here for perspective on the man Fox interviewed:   Conservative journalist ejected from Bernie Sanders rally for no reason  "The latest stunt pulled at a Bernie Sanders rally goes to show just how far the left (fake center) will go in order to stifle free speech and free thought in America."
The conservative reporter commented thus:
The police officer agreed with me that I did nothing wrong, but booted me anyway. On my way out, the private security officer told me he supports me but has to do his job. Thank you for exposing how intolerant the left really is towards dissenting opinions.

Bernie Sanders tells Fox News town hall that he won't pay his 'fair share' in taxes unless he is forced to  . . . "I give Bernie Sanders credit for daring to appear on Fox News for a town hall in which he could expect pointed questioning from the hosts, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.  But those expectations were fulfilled when it comes to his taxes.  Two tweets from Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire tell the story of his position that he will pay his "fair share" only when forced to do the right thing." . . .
MacCallum: “So would you be willing to pay 52% on the money that you made? You can volunteer, you can send it back”Bernie: “You can volunteer too…why don’t you give? You make more money than I do”M: “I didn’t suggest a wealth tax”Baier: “And she’s not running for POTUS”
 Townhall agrees with Fox News on this.

 The Russians really did prefer Bernie.

Bernie Sanders Releases Tax Returns, Is Immediately Called Out For Stinginess
Considering how stingy Sanders is when it comes to charity, let’s review what he has said about people who make a lot of money and greedily hold on to it: Writing in the Burlington Free Press in May, 2011, Sanders stated, "As Vermont's senator and a member of the Budget Committee, I will not support a plan to reduce the deficit that does not call for shared sacrifice … At a time when the top one percent earns more income than the bottom 50 percent, we must ask the wealthiest people in this country to start paying their fair share of taxes … Every segment of our society, including those who have money and power, must contribute and must sacrifice."
 Bernie Sanders Explodes When Asked About His Taxes, Hypocrisy Called Out
Bernie's diverting response was Ted Kennedy-ish and shows him to be just some politician; socialist and slippery, but still, the hero of the campus left. TD



Bernie: the Perfect Democratic Socialist Candidate:

Watching Bernie at the Fox News Town Hall: Memories of the Soviet Union  . . . "In other words, although we were in the USSR at basically the same point, we apparently visited different countries. I can remember spending much of my time talking to Soviet writers, listening to their tales of oppression, and their desperate desire to leave the country for freedom in America. In several cases, they asked my help to get out, which I had no way of giving them. As they made their pleas, my schoolboy Marxism drained out of me.
. . . "If he becomes the Democratic nominee, which, even at this early date, doesn't seem unlikely, Trump will have his hands full contradicting Bernie's fervor. Like a good neo-Stalinist, he will stop at nothing for his "ideals." The Fox town hall should be a good training ground for Trump. He should pay close attention to it, keep it close by as a training video.". . .
