The great thing about the internet is that the idiots who used to just say dumb stuff to their friends before social media became a thing are now coming to light. I can now point to some guy named Anthony from Oregon’s tweets and say, “that guy right there has the mental capacity of a pea.” Campaign season only makes it easier to find these dimwits.

Take for example, Bernie Sanders supports. What they lack in smarts, they make up for in “compassion” — or so they want you to believe. They never learned simple economic policies or researched countries like Greece, Sweden, or Finland (those two Scandanavian countries have close to 10% unemployment rates and Greece is dead. Yay socialism!). So when I came across this fun hashtag on Twitter, I knew there would be some good troll tweets. I wasn’t disappointed.

But my favorite of them all…

Greece didn’t turn out so bad, right?

    The middle class has to spend the majority of what they make from each pay check. That means money goes to the middle class and immediately gets spent at a business owned by a rich person. Programs that help the middle class (cheaper education **payed for by a small tax on Wall St. speculation**, cheaper health care, higher min. wage) revitalize the economy because more people have money to spend. If money isn’t being spent (fiscal conservatism) the economy looses its fuel.
    But I’m sure a Reaganomics expert has some story about some guy that took advantage of food stamps this one time and that means liberals want to help lazy people and are retarded so fuck everything I just said.

      “If money isn’t being spent (fiscal conservatism) the economy looses its fuel.”

      Quite the contrary, FratticusFrinch16. As consumers save more, banks can lend more, investment rises, businesses flourish, and the economy gains steam. That’s as low-level as I can get without posting a 20-page paper on economic growth.

        Yeah more people can open up businesses and low taxes sound great in theory but you can’t sell things to people that don’t have money to spend or to people that aren’t willing to spend money. Just because a bank invests in a company and allows it to open doesn’t mean the business will work out. Also, if companies sell more products to a larger middle class and increase profits, more money can be saved and more skrilla can be lended out by banks… more people benefit this way. Taxes can be 0% but if you don’t have a market you can’t sell shit.

        I feel smart, I’m going to Google economic stuff and sound like Greenspan Jr. said academic tryhards. For the like 5 Bernie Supporters on here, please look at the effective tax rate for America. See who carries their fair share. When you can answer this question I’ll give you a seat at the table: In personal income tax, the wealthiest 3% pay how much of the TOTAL personal income tax? I realize many of you dudes still haven’t graduated yet, but when you’re paying 25% of your take home pay to Uncle Sam (my employer) it hurts. I could be buying like 25% more Glenlivet 15.

    I find it hillarious when these people go straight to the “buy an economics textbook, Bernie” line and then proceed to prove they have no understanding of economics. Sure, Bern’s utopia isn’t economically feasible and his promises are BS, but pretending our economy is currently horse shit because of Obama and hasn’t rebounded substantially since Bush makes you equally ignorant. People think because they have a basic understanding of capitalism and participate in the economy then they are qualified to speak on economics. News flash, you aren’t, because you didn’t study the actual science of it. Physicists don’t have to sit around listening to average Joe talk about why String Theory is wrong, but for some reason every piece of shit that got a B in Econ 101 thinks they have a doctorate in Econ and understand money multipliers.

      People can talk about whatever they want and String Theory isn’t a political issue.

    I hate when TFM gets political. Look, I’m 100% for everyone being informed and involved in the American political process and I’m glad you feel impassioned enough to pen an article about it (and I assume that’s why and you’re not just pandering for clicks) …but this is a fraternity website. I come here, much like my actual fraternity, to get away from the world’s shitstorm of issues. There’s a thousand political websites. Can we not make this one of them? Thanks G

        Because I want a place I use to get away from politics to not constantly bombard me with political opinion makes me a Bernie supporter. Thanks for the heads up chief

    Unfortunately if someone is dumb enough to vote for Bernie they probably couldn’t tell you the first thing about how Greece’s economy is faring
