Well, if you want to split hairs, then perhaps you would like to go live in Russia for a year and then come back and tell us how wonderful it was.
I can appreciate the points are you making - but is doesn't mean that a lot of them are good for our country. We have a big deficet, due to continuing to funding these things without questioning whether we can afford these things. Most of it is about votes - no one can touch medicare or medicaid because eliminating these programs would be too costly in terms of votes. See therein lies the problem - there is no incentive to work harder and make more money if it will all be taxed away, for people who never got the education, didn't develop the skills or have no ambition to even try to make a major contribution to society.
And we already know that Bernie has no problem taking gifts that benefit only him, tax free.
