Will Bernie Sanders bring Socialism to America lol? It’s already here?

Capitalism is when individuals own the means of production, land, property, capital, goods, services etc.

So if the average American is forced to contribute over half of their productivity to Government to socialize is this capitalist?

Total Government spending including local, state, federal, inflation, and deficits is over 50% of GDP. When we had real Capitalism in before 1972, total Government spending was only around 15%, middle class boomed, gdp was over 20% at times, everything was made in America

This is why everything sucks, we can barely get 3% gdp growth, medical costs are skyrocketing, college debt is skyrocketing no free market price discovery, wages aren’t rising compared to real inflation, social security is going bankrupt by 2040, record high debt in every category, and biggest wealth gap ever between rich and poor. 

Socialism is doing a great Job

    Idk, but I almost died laughing at your question from 4 years ago. You wanted to gain 500 lbs. "I want the sidewalk to crack when i walk down the street. I want to break every chair I sit on." I laughed for a half hour. Did you reach your goal of 500lbs?
