Is Bernie being straight with his followers?

I just heard a young man saying that Bernie is not a socialist...that his brand of socialism is more like that used in the Scandinavian nations. I wonder if any of Bernie's followers will ever learn that Denmark is fed up with Bernie using them as an example of how socialism is so great...stating that they are NOT a socialist country.

And Sweden, another of Bernie's "models" is moving away from being a welfare state because that is not a sustainable model.

I am not a fan of the welfare state model simply because if you keep creating exceptions, it defeats the purpose if having a system in place.

@Longpatrol If Bernie implements his plans, taxpayers will find that businesses have moved back overseas, which will lead to the collapse of the taxes he plans to use to pay for all of his programs. No individual, for example, a business owner, will be allowed to keep more than one million dollars of his own earnings per year.

I can't think of one business owner who would wish to work as hard as they do, who would wish to do it for a capped amount.

Bernie doesn't think about a LOT of that stuff...people won't half kill themselves working hard if he takes away all their reasons.
