Fuck this shit, Trump and Sanders were cheated in Iowa just like Ron Paul back in 2012. The election is bought by The Man. Why should I give a shit? The country is going to collapse like the Roman Empire in 20-50 years.

It's winter now so the rapists are hibernating. We'll arm ourselves with pepper spray in time before the Summer festivals.

I don't think Bernie stands much of a chance right now but I'm interested to see how he'll do. I'm sure people said that about Obama when he ran against Hillary, too. But most of the polls show he only really stood a chance in like 4/5 states, and Iowa was one of them, so *shrugs*

I think if he won Iowa, it could have set the tone for change, but he didn't. Granted, he came super close, so we'll see if that'll do the trick! I'm sure New Hampshire will help next week since he's supposed to win, but if Hillary somehow wins, then Bernie's campaign is virtually over, imo

Denmark is also pretty nice.

1. I pay 0 for my masters education in one of the best schools in Europe
2. The government PAYS me $550 to go to school (as I am a foreigner I have to work part time 10-12 hours a week to get this, which essentially comes down to me not paying taxes on my salary)
3. I have not paid anything directly to the health care system. I will always go to the hospital when I feel something is wrong. I bet this kills a lot of people who dont want to pay some money if their pain turns out to be nothing
4. Great transportation system
5. A very technologically friendly government. Pretty much everything is done on the internet, so I dont need to leave the house to go wait in line at some government building.

Taxation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Denmark

TLDR: "The sum of all income tax percentages (municipal income tax, state income taxes and the central government income tax financing health care in the Regions called health care contribution (Danish: Sundhedsbidrag)) cannot exceed 51.5%"

So whoever in America (Fox news?) that keeps screaming 90% taxation is spreading false propaganda. You are paying 51.5% maximum and that is if you have a huge salary. Not sure how its for the ULTRA rich when your income isnt only salary. Maybe thats higher but I feel like we are talking about income tax mostly as that is more relevant for most people.

Some examples
1. If you have $3000 dollars a month in salary you pay around 33%
2. If you have $6000 dollars a month in salary you pay around 37%
3. If you have $10.000 dollars a month in salary you pay around 44%
4. US federal minimum wage is $15.080 annually says google. You would pay around 24% tax with that amount. Which should leave you with around $1000 bucks after taxation (if my math is correct!)

Does that sound crazy to you Americans? Would that be an unfair taxation based on the points I mentioned earlier?

ANYWAYS

Hope Sanders wins but that might be wishful thinking.
Hillary will bend over the minute she steps into the oval office.

I am also wondering, wont Trump actually be a better choice compared to Hillary? BARE WITH ME

1. Congress will stop all of Trumps nonsense
2. Trump has a shit load of money and ego, I somehow doubt he will bend over for some corporations
3. Hillary is a sellout who will let anyone who gives her enough 0's to rule policy
4. Hillary doesnt have any convictions as far as I can see (Also saw an interview with Warren where she talked about how Hillary doesnt hold true to her word)

Cruz seems like a pretty smart guy, albeit crazy. I think he would be a very dangerous president, as I could see him convincing congress on some of his plans like abortion laws. Isnt he born in Kanada though, how can he run? Can I run when I get a green card?

Until someone convinces me Trump is worse than Hillary I am leaning

1. Sanders
2. Trump
3. Hilary
4. Cruz

Pretty convinced that Trump is a bored rich guy who is just in the race to stir shit up. He's appealing to the worst element on the right and some people are eating it up.

I believe I heard that Trump running as president is bringing out new voters ...

And I thought, "I'm not sure that's a good thing"
