can you imagine Bernie and Bloomy arm in arm?

Perhaps a match made in heaven. Or the underworld, depending on your beliefs. But these matches never seem to happen in real life.

Can a capitalist and a socialist work together? I think so, as long as there are no partisan divides. Social democracy requires the expertise of both. If you plan to tax the living f*ck out of rich people you've got to work hard to keep their profits high. You keep their profits high by making them pay a living wage so workers can afford to buy the products they make. Then you tax the workers so the rich aren't driven out of business by high taxes. Everybody pays more taxes but also receive more services. Free higher education provides the skilled workers needed and the innovation required to compete. Socialized healthcare keeps the workers healthy and boosts production.
Capitalists and socialists march together hand in hand to a better future!

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
