Had a brief conversation with a friendly, informed Republican today.
I was waiting for my car to finish getting smog checked when another customer (a middle-aged woman like me) :rotf: approached me. She had spotted my Bernie sticker on my back bumper.
She likes Bernie a lot and is horrified at Trump. She wanted to know how Bernie planned to pay for all that free stuff he's proposing. I honestly didn't know, but I had some little cards with the high points of his campaign outlined.
I dug one out of my purse and gave it to her.
We agreed that Trump had to be stopped! Then our cars were ready and we parted ways.
One voter at a time, folks...

2. The answer is by cutting the war budget.
Still, good job.

4. Unfortunately that "free stuff" meme is deeply ingrained. My answers to them are as follows:
"Skimming just a little from the Military Industrial Complex would pay for a lot of free stuff."
"Taxing Wall St., millionaires, and billionaires fairly would pay for a lot of free stuff."
"Fixing our roads and bridges would create a lot of jobs and new taxpayers to pay for that free stuff."
"Diverting the money we spend on health insurance, deductibles and co-pays would more than pay for that health related free stuff".
I like to hit them with simple bites like this because we don't always have time to go into nuanced detail and often times their brains have been softened by too much Rush or Fox.
:whatever:

$18 trillion in new spending like Bernie wants would require taxing every taxpayer at 80% or more. :rofl:

No. You don't understand. The dummies SWEAR it's only a 2.2% increase on their paychecks. Everybody else will have to pay big.
Don't you pay attention?
