People comparing AOC or Bernie Sanders brand of Democratic Socialism to Venezuela are either purposefully spreading fear mongering Propaganda, are extremely ignorant or are incredibly unintelligent.

 

Look to Scandinavian and European models as a more accurate depiction of some of the policy ideas surrounding their platforms. I am shocked you guys take this lunacy seriously.

 

I bet you all believe AOC wants to steal your Hamberders and ban airplanes and cows too right?  Unbelievable.

 

Do you know how expensive it is to live in the Scandinavian countries? Do you also know they don’t like outsiders?

Today’s Venezuela is a highly probable end result of the good intentions of people like Bernie Sanders.

Hell, go back to Chavez’ Venezuela when he first came into power.  His reforms were implemented and maintained with an extremely heavy hand.

Oh no you didn't.  Our friend once noted that pointing the fact that Nordics are largely homogeneous societies, is racist.

The average refund among early filers was down 8.4 percent, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The smaller checks, in some cases, stem from the loss of certain deductions. For others, it’s because less money is being withheld from their paychecks. The I.R.S., in trying to more closely match the amount held out of paychecks with the amount that taxpayers will owe, changed its withholding tables.

The bold is a good thing.

 

Deductions just perpetuate class warfare.

 

No one, I repeat NO ONE should get a tax return, we should all have to write uncle sam a check each year.

 

A tax return means you lent the government your money for up to 12 months interest free. That is just plain stupid financing.

 

If we all had to write a check each year for our taxes, everyone would be pissed off right now, and maybe, just maybe you would see some changes in the way our money is spent wasted.
