PHONY “POPULIST” BERNIE SANDERS
For all of Bernie Sanders talk
about leading “political revolution” against the “billionaire class,”
Sanders backed Clinton, a shill of Wall Street and the Pentagon, who
has nothing but contempt for the tens of millions of workers
devastated by the 2008 financial crash and Obama’s pro-corporate policies.
Kamala Harris:
Medicare for All Includes Illegal Aliens
Harris, a guest on CNN's "State of the
Union," said "I support Medicare for all. It is my preferred
policy." She said she supports the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
But the federal government then imports about 1.1 million legal
immigrants and refreshes a resident population of roughly 1.5 million
white-collar visa workers — including approximately one million H-1B workers —
and approximately 500,000 blue-collar visa workers.
The government also prints out more than one million work
permits for foreigners, tolerates about eight million illegal workers, and does
not punish companies for employing the hundreds of thousands of illegal
migrants who sneak across the border or overstay their legal visas each year.
This policy of inflating the labor supply boosts economic growth
for investors because it
ensures that employers do not have to compete for American workers by offering
higher wages and better working conditions.
This policy of flooding the market
with cheap, foreign, white-collar graduates and
blue-collar labor also shifts
enormous wealth from young employees towards
older investors, even as it also widens wealth
gaps, reduces high-tech
investment, increases state and local
tax burdens, and hurts children’s schools and college educations. It
also pushes Americans away
from high-tech careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans,
including many who are now struggling with fentanyl
addictions. The labor policy also moves business investment and wealth
from the heartland to the coastal cities, explodes rents and housing costs, shrivels real estate
values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces. JOHN

“Extensive research by economists
like George Borjas and analyst Steven Camarota reveals that the country’s
current mass legal immigration system burdens U.S. taxpayers and America’s
working and middle class while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth
every year to major employers and newly arrived immigrants. Similarly, research
has revealed how Americans’ wages are crushed by the country’s high immigration levels.” JOHN BINDER
Watch: Bernie Sanders Expresses Intention to ‘Create a New America’
2:37
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told attendees of his “Bernie’s Back Rally” in New York on Saturday that his movement aims to not only transform the U.S. but “create a new America” altogether.
Sanders held a rally at Queensbridge Park in Long Island City, New York, with guest appearances from left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore and “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), both of whom formally offered their endorsements of the presidential hopeful.
The socialist senator spoke following speeches from his endorsers and outlined his broad vision to not only radically transform the country but to “create a new America” altogether.
Sanders stated:
Standing before you today, I believe more than I have ever believed, that we are at a moment in our great country’s history where all of us coming together can create the America that we are entitled to have. The America we know that we can become.
“We can create a new America true to the principles that are supposed to be the foundation of our democracy,” he said, failing to elaborate on what he believes the country’s founding principles are truly “supposed to” be.
Sanders’ call for the creation of a “new America” follows his recent pleas to fundamentally “transform” the country.
He told attendees of his rally at Denver’s Civic Center in September that the 2020 election is about more than defeating President Trump, and he asked them to help him “transform this country” and wage “a political revolution.”
“I am here in Denver asking your support for more than just defeating Trump,” Sanders said. “I am here to ask you to help me transform this country and create an economy and government that works for all of us, not just the one percent.”
“I am here in Denver to ask you to wage with me a political revolution, which will take on not only the corruption of Washington but the greed and corruption of the corporate elite in this country,” he added.
As Axios noted in August, Sanders’ utopian vision for the country – offering “free” health care and college, exponentially raising taxes, and implementing a multi-trillion-dollar proposal to combat “climate change” – would essentially “reorder or referee almost every part of American life.”
Sanders wrote on Instagram following his rally:
Thank you Queens for an incredible day! If there is one thing I want you to remember, it is this: If you are willing to fight for other people as much as you’re willing to fight for yourself, there is no doubt in my mind that not only will we win this election. We will transform this country.
