There is NOTHING wrong with big banks. When they're bigger, they're more secure.

The biggest banks were pivotal in cleaning up the 07/08 financial disaster and without them, it would have been much worse. They toxically absorbed a bunch of the commercial banks that caused the disaster and fixed them. They have the capital to absorb these losses.

Well I know Bernie wants to reduce Wall Street down to rubble , and a lot of people are banking on Wall Street for retirement and stuff


if they tax Wall Street to the degree that Bernie desires, it'll just move to London or another finance hub that won't have grossly high taxes

Regardless, Dodd-Frank is doing sufficiently to make sure investment banks are keeping enough capital to risk paying losses.

The six largest financial institutions in this country today hold assets equal to about 60% of the nation’s gross domestic product. These six banks issue more than two-thirds of all credit cards and over 35% of all mortgages. They control 95% of all derivatives and hold more than 40% of all bank deposits in the United States.

We must break up too-big-to-fail financial institutions.

The also hugely concerning thing is that you can fit 1 million denmarks in the united states so the population difference is astounding

There's no guarantee that it would even come close to working, and I don't agree with some/most of bernie's tax plans to get there


what specfically don't you agree with? there's no reason why something on a small scale can't work on a larger scale, if done correctly

it's also only slightly idealistic to think the nordic take on socialism would work as perfectly and fluently as it does in europe but it's far more idiotic to say "well this wouldn't work because we aren't them"

Bringing down Wall Street is also really stupid

Bernie's tax plan which calls for a near $10,000 increase on yearly taxes, not including local and state ones, for middle class is ridiculous.

His SP healthcare will never come to fruition and he will be torn apart in the general election. His attacks on Wall Street are lame as well.

If you understood what socialism was and understood that Bernie Sanders platform is Nordic Model Capitalism, you wouldn't be worried about the ghastly history of "socialism".

Next are you going to try to argue the the na.zis were socialist? Do you have any other facebook meme arguments from The Comical Conservative that you would like to share?


What the frick are you even talking about, Norway already was more or less the same before nordic ''socialism'', that would never work in America

Didn't we already do this in this thread, Rutab? Can't you just click back a few pages to where I already owned you and relive it?


Tell me 1 (one) country where it worked


Where Bernie Sanders platform worked? Norway, one of the happiest and best educated countries on the planet. Also recently ranked top 3 in forbes best countries to do business.


Norway is ranked 16 on the happiest countries list

Why do you people love socialism so much even tho it failed literally everywhere


Read a book


Please, look at south america, Europe right now, africa and Asia


Gary Kasparov, the chess genius, said that to him, it was ironic that Bernie supporters would call the glories of socialism, when he and his family suffered through it in East Germany.
