Socialism-loving Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently sat down with podcaster Joe Rogan to try and peddle some of his anti-capitalism propaganda about taxing people more, and BOY, did that backfire!
Contrary to the liberal media’s claims about Rogan being some kind of “far-right propagandist” he’s actually a very reasonable moderate, which is why he appeals to such a large audience.
Rogan, like most Americans, believes in common-sense and when the millionaire socialist politician tried to call for socialism, his entire argument was CRUSHED by that common-sense.
Sanders claimed that if the government collects more in taxes from working people, it will magically fix our society.
But Rogan pointed out EXACTLY why that would never work.
“The problem with that is the taxes go to what, an incompetent, corrupt government? This is the issue that people have,” Rogan said.
Unable to argue against that point, Sanders said, “Fair enough. All right.”
Then Rogan kept going even harder and you could see Sanders start to squirm around in his chair as he knew his sad little socialist narrative was collapsing in real-time.
At one point, Rogan says that part of the issue is the government runs a “monopoly” that allows them to do whatever they want with no real repercussions and Sanders looks like he’s about to have another heart attack!
Watch the video here to see what happens when a socialist is confronted with reality.
Bernie wants to raise your taxes. Rogan asks the obvious question: For what?
BERNIE: “Billionaires need to pay their fair share!”
ROGAN: “… the problem with that is the taxes go to what an incompetent, corrupt government.”
