Newsom lifts Calif. lockdown orders amid mounting backlash\">recent interview<\/a> with Chris Wallace on HBO Max, Bernie Sanders declared that if someone earns more than $999 million in a given year, the U.S. government should seize all of it. That\u2019s right: all of it. Not 90 percent. Every last penny. And he showed no indication of having any idea why this policy, if it were ever enacted, would kill the economy and leave non-billionaires worse off than they were before.<\/p>\n<h3>Bernie&#8217;s Betrayal of Basic Economics<\/h3>\n<p>Bernie started to rail against Walmart, claiming that it \u201cin many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/communist-bernie-sanders-want-the-government-to-take-all-the-money-you-make-over-this-amount\/\" title=\"Bernie Sanders, a communist, wants the government to take all your earnings above a certain amount.\">cases pays starvation wages<\/a> to its 1.2 million employees.\u201d Sanders asserted that \u201cmany of their workers are on Medicaid or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">food stamps<\/a>. In other words, taxpayers are subsidizing the wealthiest family in the country. Do I think that\u2019s right? No, I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This betrayed Bernie\u2019s failure to understand basic economics. He deplores the idea that Walmart workers are collecting government benefits; apparently he believes that the Walton family, which owns the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-virtue-signaling-corporations-trying-to-prove-their-wokeness\/\" title=\"5 Virtue Signaling Corporations Trying To Prove Their \u2018Wokeness\u2019\">retail giant<\/a>, should pay better wages so that the government doesn\u2019t have to offer welfare benefits to Walmart employees. But he was saying all this in the context of explaining why he thinks that wages after a certain point should be confiscated entirely by the government. If that plan were implemented, the Waltons would have less money. It would be more difficult for them to pay the wages Sanders is demanding, and the government would have to take up the slack with the money it confiscated. So Sanders\u2019 proposal would end up reinforcing the system he hates.<\/p>\n<h3>The Ones Who Suffer from All This Socialism<\/h3>\n<p>Sanders shows no appreciation of the fact that the billionaires he wants to rob are the people who provide jobs for those who aren\u2019t billionaires. If the rich can only earn a certain amount by law, they\u2019ll go to other countries where they can keep more of what they earn, or they simply will not produce as much. Why should they, if the government is going to take it all?<\/p>\n<p>The ones who suffer from all this socialism in the end will be the poor about whom Sanders claims to care. The places where they might have worked will have gone to other countries that offer a more favorable tax structure. The people who might have started a company that would have employed them will have no incentive to do so. That\u2019s why socialist countries are always economic basket cases, and always will be.<\/p>\n<h3>Bernie&#8217;s Love for Communism<\/h3>\n<p>Sanders loves Communism so much that back in 1988, he and his new bride honeymooned in the Soviet Union, apparently delighted to visit a totalitarian state that imprisoned and enslaved its own people. Brute force is the only way you can force people to work if they have no economic incentive to work hard. That\u2019s the paradise this old Commie envisions for the country that used to be known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
