Bernie Sanders – Bread lines are GOOD for you?

Yes, he’s proving that Socialism is not about shared wealth, it IS about shared misery.  If it were the former, a real workers’ Utopia that Socialists and Communists are always lying bragging about, who would have to wait in a line to get bread.  I am of the generation that saw “citizens” of Socialist governments queuing up in lines in order to buy the necessities of life and we all get to see them yet again in Venezuela where the government has to guard foodstocks because it has so bungled the economy, it is turning the entire country into a man-made disaster.

And Bernie thinks this is OK?

“Vermont’s Democratic socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has sought to separate his views from those of tyrannical socialist regimes throughout history. The problem is that back in the 1980’s Sanders was outspoken in his support of communist dictator Fidel Castro as well as the Soviet-aligned Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

In fact, recently discovered video shows Sanders praising food lines as a good thing. Sanders asserts that countries where people don’t line up for food that the poor are starving to death because “the rich get all the food.”

The Libertarian Republic has this observation about food and the US:

The lack of logic here is astounding. In America and individual can buy a meal for under $2 if you’re not picky, and everywhere we go we are surrounded by stores stocked full of food. Free markets lead to abundance, controlled markets lead to shortages and rationing. This is common sense to anyone who isn’t a Marxist ideologue.

Fortunately, we are still a relatively free market country (although the Democrats are warping into overdrive to create that “controlled marketplace” (i.e., their latest drive of changing the minimum wage to $15/hour which as we are seeing in Seattle and about to see at the State levels in NY, WA, and CA).  You think that they’ll ever take responsibility for the evil they will unleash on the low income, low skilled workers of America?
