DEMOCRATIC socialism, people. I know that distinction gets made and remade in the news but it bears mentioning. Now, I don't know if I will vote for Bernie or not so I'm not a blind follower by any means. That being said, those who are diametrically opposed to his suggestions for a democratic socialist policy should look for a better argument than "it's not capitalism". Capitalism, in the sense of laissez-faire business model, won't be affected by this policy. In other words, American entrepreneurs will still be able to take advantage of a capitalistic financial environment. The only thing that will change is what the taxes WE ALREADY PAY are used for. This model is used with huge success in European countries that have better economies/schools/employment benefits and happier citizens than the US average.
