    Sanders, a man who wants your tax money, speaking to a racist man who's known for not paying his taxes... how ironic

    In response to the OP.

    I live in Norway, and the fact that so many americans are afraid of the way we run things baffles me.

    Pro democratic socialism
    - No guns in the streets (if you don't have a hunters license)
    - Free school elementary and high school. (I pay about 80$ per semester for one of Norways best universities, NTNU)
    - Free health care (with a small personal fee, but if that reaches over 250$ a year, you'll get a free card for the rest of the year)
    - Government pays those who can't work (or are un-employed) about 2000$ a month.
    - Very heavy focus on the global warming issue
    - Government founded care for the elders

    Con democratic socialism
    - High taxes (the more you earn, the more you pay)
    - Taxes on imported goods
    - High power in the Government (Countered by "separation of powers")

    In my opinion the high taxes are okay, as we get so much for free. There is a reason that Norway (and other Scandinavian countries) usually are top 10 in the worlds best place to live rankings by the Legatum Institute.


    Why are so many Americans afraid of the way we run things over here?

    haha, i guess they would have to decrease that. The average monthly wage in Norway is around 4.5k, so those who gets paid for being unemployed doesn't actually live luxurious by any means.


    On topic: how is Sanders doing so far?

    God you're misinformed. The flint crisis was literally a result of a conservative governor trying to save a dollar. Ya know, like capitalism. ...

    Government is government. Whether its republican or mainly democrat, it has too much power.
    Privatization > socialism
