Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 45106622 United States 06/17/2015 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bernie Sanders can win the Iowa Caucus. [link to observer.com] Let me be the first commentator to state explicitly what many Democratic insiders fear and many of the most progressive activists in the party yearn for: There is a very real prospect that Senator Bernie Sanders wins an outright victory in the Iowa caucus and pulls off one of the most stunning upsets in modern political history. ....Mr. Sanders is the ultimate conviction politician in American politics. He is the epitome of authenticity. You will never see Mr. Sanders give paid speeches to big banks or Wall Street firms. Nor do his supporters dream of making their financial fortunes as highly paid lobbyists for special interests in Washington. When the evening of the Iowa caucus arrives it is very possible that political experts and insiders will be astonished and confounded by the sudden appearance of new caucus participants who have never attended party meetings or caucus votes, and trudge through frigid cold and piles of snow to cast their caucus vote for Bernie Sanders.

beeches User ID: 28167778 United States 06/17/2015 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is real family values! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45106622 Bernie Sanders nailed it: Our jobs are killing us [link to www.salon.com] Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) recently introduced the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act to Congress. If passed, it would require employers with at least 15 workers to provide 10 days of paid vacation to every employee who has worked with them for more than a year. “What family values are about is that at least for two weeks a year, people can come together under a relaxed environment and enjoy the family,” Sanders explained from the Senate floor. “That is a family value that I want to see happen in this country.” ....If nothing else, Sanders’ proposal can be lauded on the grounds that it would remove this apprehension from Americans’ decisions. Even guaranteeing a paltry 10 days of vacation for every employee would be enough to allow workers to take time off when they feel they need it, without worrying that that decision will be viewed as a sign of laziness or their own dispensability. Similarly, the 20 percent of Americans who get less than six hours of sleep would benefit from not having to work longer hours than any other population in the industrialized world. The rest of article: Bernie Sanders nailed it: Our jobs are killing us [link to www.salon.com] are you implying the other family values are not real? if so, just come out and profess your agenda.

beeches User ID: 28167778 United States 06/17/2015 09:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived in Germany with the 6 week vacation for all rules. Sure it was nice, but don't forget the taxes were so high (and went MUCH higher) so that the normal regular German has to work until they "keel over dead" according to an older woman who visited me from Germany in recent years. and with the tax bite so big, forget a house. in fact: several years back a German employee was DINGED for using his vacation time to build a small building - a shed or something like that. the courts ruled THAT HIS EMPLOYER HAD THE RIGHT TO DEMAND HE ONLY REST, NOT WORK FOR HIMSELF, WHILE ON VACATION. just to keep the socialist slaves workin' harder, you see. will post a link if I can find one to this court case.
