Everyone agrees America is broken. Our system pools resources in the hands of the very few, and those with the means have demonstrated that they do not have the general population's best interest at heart. Industrialists up until the early 80's counted themselves as Americans first. That isn't the case. Main St America has suffered because of this. Bernie may not have the ideal solutions, but at least he's going in the right direction.lolNigga you need those "industrialists", their tax dollars actually fund shit.And if they're not Americans first anymore, good luck keeping them around once the soaking starts.They're not staying now. You seem to be living under the impression they aren't already shipping jobs overseas and dodging their taxes.And you think the solution is to demand they stay while also making conditions less favorable than they already are?

Simple idea: if you offshore your HQ to dodge taxes, and offshore your manufacturing, you have to pay a high tariff to import your goods into the US. At that point you aren't an American company anymore. Bring in jobs or tax revenue.
Just the fact that he's been consistent on almost all of his views for the entire time that he's been a politician should show you a lot.

Bring in jobs or tax revenue.Helpful hint: if you have a "simple idea" about economics it's probably wrong. >corporation taxes are bad, and reduce the welfare of working individuals>outsourcing really, really isn't an issue with the exception of short-run labour disruption >there is consensus in economics on tariffs (including the two above, too, actually) and it's that they fucking suck. They just hurt the consumer
The consumer can only afford the goods if they have a job that pays a living wage.
And the tariffs only come into play if they offshore the jobs and taxes.
Aside from his economic policies you so vehemently oppose, what other policies of his are "constantly shit"?
