Mark C. Ross - American Thinker
"Being a street-corner commie from Brooklyn, Bernie is straight from Central Casting. He’s got the accent, the laughable dogma, and the continuing pursuit of a nonsensical utopia that are all needed to play the part. He is a wish that won’t ever come true"
"I’ve always doubted Bernie’s ability to do arithmetic, but his appeal for cutting another day off the work week without reducing a worker’s pay goes well beyond a “normal” conceptual defect. Stepping on his own screed, he also blamed the decline in workers’ purchasing power on inflation. Really? What causes inflation? Oh, yeah...Bernie and his fellow demagogues in D.C. are doing it by borrowing and printing more paper money so it can be embezzled by their cronies.
"It is true that lefties have blinders on when dealing with numbers. Years ago, I was visiting some lefty friends who both happened to have MBAs. They strenuously advocated the four-day work week as a means to reduce unemployment. I asked them if they would be willing to take a 20% cut in their pay in order to let this happen. They looked at each other and blurted out, “Of course not!” Hence the triumph of ideology over quantitative analysis.
"Time passes, and Bernie’s nonsense is losing its appeal. Americans, especially, are very, very jealous of their standard of living. Making it more expensive for businesses to produce goods and services makes life in general more expensive. Commies like Bernie believe that businesses should be social instruments, with the elevation of the common person as their reason for existence. Profit, to them, is a dirty word.
"Guess what, Bernie: employers are not in business for their health.
"Bernie’s entrance into the national spotlight marked the beginning of the Democrat party’s profound lurch to the left — this in spite of his remaining an independent Democratic Socialist and not actually a Democrat. So what? “The Squad” followed his lead while also remaining under the Democrat tent." . . .
