Lining Up to Get Berned
22nd April 2016
Gavin McInnes does stupid stuff so you don’t have to.
I went to a Bernie Sanders rally dressed as a liberal douche and it went exactly as expected. It was in Washington Square Park next to NYU and there were about 27,000 students, hipsters, and Ben & Jerry’s boomers there with pamphlets and buttons and kooky sunglasses. As with the Trump rallies, the audience skewed male, but unlike the Trump rallies, there did not appear to be one person there who was not retarded. “Fuck Hillary,” a towering hipster told me. “She started Bengali.”
And that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about Berni’s ‘base’.
Millionaires pay pretty damn close to 50% right now. I know I do. The top 20% earners in America pay 80% of the income tax. You can try to squeeze more out of them, but when you tax something, you get less of it. Besides, as Bill Whittle has pointed out, the government is presently spending $10B a day. You could take 100% of Bill Gates’ AND Warren Buffet’s money and you’d cover just over a week of government spending. Now you’re out Gates and Buffet and all the jobs they create. You’ve also discouraged anyone else from following in their footsteps. Way to go, Bernie Bros.
