Never forget when Bernie Sanders was asked about Sweden's economic policies, and he admitted that he knew NOTHING about Sweden
Yet he constantly holds up Sweden as an example to emulate.
Bernie is as empty-headed a politician as you can imagine. Not an ounce of curiosity in him https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1237158089209655296

And when you confront Bernie supporters on the absurdity of their beliefs, they always refer to Canada or Sweden
You don't know Canada Bernie. You don't understand how our economy is structured. Canada is a capitalist nation with a welfare safety net. Yet you rail against it

Canada doesn't have a Government "guaranteed jobs" program. Yet that exists on Bernie's platform
That policy alone would warp labour markets beyond recognition, and redirect much-needed capital to inefficient projects
Same with his wealth taxes. Canada doesnt have that either

Canada's top federal tax rates are about 33%, which is FAR less than the +60% tax rates that the Bernie Sanders supporters want.
Canada doesn't have a wealth tax. We don't have unrealized capital gains taxes
Canada doesn't "ban" billionaires either. Nor do we have worker corps

These are the economic policies of a mediocre man.
The policies of a man who never spent 10 seconds actually thinking things out
Bernie was never in a position of true responsibility, so he had the luxury of dreaming up policies on the fly. His opponents don't have that luxury

And what's insidious about all of this, is that whenever Bernie supporters are confronted with this:
They change the topic to Scandinavia, or Canada.
It's a very dishonest tactic. It's meant to trick folks who don't understand politics deeply enough, and gives them a pass

Capitalism and free trade has brought more prosperity than any system ever devised. This is a good thing
We should also create safety nets and regulations in order to mitigate its worst effects. This is also a good thing.
But restricting capital markets would paralyze growth

And there are many people on the Far-Left who deride the concept of economic growth as being secondary
Well, until every child is clothed and has antibiotics and food, then we *need* to continue growing. And wealth isn't finite. We can and should create more of it.

Bernie's platform would actually paralyze any sort of economic growth
His extreme policies would undermine growth and make it difficult for the United States to fund these social welfare programs that we're so fond of
A strong social safety net REQUIRES a strong economy
