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?

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.
