By Blake Neff Just a couple months ago, Bernie Sanders lambasted Uber as an “unregulated” company with “serious problems,” but financial disclosures by the Democratic presidential candidate reveal that whenever his campaign requires a taxi, they literally always turn to Uber.

According to research done by National Journal, 100 percent of Sanders’ spending on taxi and ride-sharing services was spent on Uber. Among 2016 presidential contenders, that’s a distinction Sanders shares with only Bobby Jindal, Martin O’Malley, and the defunct Scott Walker and Rick Perry campaigns.

Why doesn't he regulated traditional cab companies then? Why he is siding with the devil? You know, there is something called leading by example?

Weak sauce.

Bernie has all the options in the world to take a cab. Unlike cable companies (and cab companies until recently) Uber doesn't have a monopoly on anything.

Using uber and regular taxis sends bad example to children that we must rely on others to get somewhere. Real americans must drive themselves or have designated private car service to demonstrate success. Besides, why pay for depreciation expenses of other cars that's baked into the rate?

The entire difference between Uber vs. regular cab service is that Uber is not regulated by the taxi commissions. Bernie advocates putting taxi commission regulation on Uber, yet uses Uber himself because it is not regulated by the taxi commission! That is hypocracy writ large. Bernie is proving himself to be just another fraud.

Unfortunately, Bernie doesn't have much money:

Bernie Sanders is one of the poorest presidential candidates,

Bernie Sanders

Net worth: $110,014-$550,999

Bernie Sanders has an average estimated net worth of $330,507, well below other prospective presidential nominees and among the lowest compared with other members of Congress. The Vermont senator, who is the longest-serving independent in U.S. history, is a self-identified socialist.

This is not necessarily true. Uber has many benefits. The two biggest benefits seem to be that you can get an Uber really really quickly and they are cheap. If Uber becomes regulated, it may get more expensive, but it may still be cheaper than taxi cabs. They will still be easier to faster than cabs.

At best, you could mean that he uses Uber b/c it is cheap, which is b/c it is unregulated, but you are out on a limb that is barely tethered to the tree.

Plus, rich people who want a higher tax but don't voluntarily give money to the government are not hypocrites. People who use Uber, but want a level playing field between local cabs and internet based cabs are not hypocrites. Same goes for those who use ecommerce sites, but want a sales tax levied to even that playing field.

Very good question, and none of the Bernie rah-rah's will answer that question. Doesn't anyone see concern that Bernie, being 74 and been in Congress since 1991, has a NET WORTH of approx. $330K?? Where's all his money??

Hell, Vermont has a household median income of $54K, so with Bernie's salary, he should be a 1%er in Vermont.

He hasn't saved anything in a retirement account, personal savings, real estate, other assets, and only has a net worth of $300K at the age of 74??????.. Does he have ANY financial management ability??

Only an idiot would be concerned by that. He lives half the year in Washington DC--not exactly an inexpensive area. Politicians make money when they go into lobbying or write books--not when they are actually serving as a Congressman.

What money? Bernie didn't even enter politics until he as 40, then he was mayor of Burlington for christ sakes. Certainly a high paying political job, not. He entered the house when he was almost 50. It really bothers you somehow that someone in politics actually lived on their salary?

So your objection to Bernie is he didn't sell out to corporate america to line his pockets while fucking you over. I can see how in your weird distorted alice in wonderland world why that would bother you. Your 1% masters say that's a bad thing they can't buy bernies vote, so it's got to be a bad thing. To bad they don't tell you they are laughing at you all the way to be bank. Good thing for you there are almost unlimited choices on the repug side that are world class experts at lining their pockets while fucking over the 99%.

You really should have listened to your parents when they told you not to sleep with the sheep. They probably should have led by example but that's another issue. Now after a lifetime of buggering syphilitic sheep your brain looks like swiss cheese and is completely non functional. Luckily for you there is so much AM radio to tell you what to think.

So what? I lambast Comcast all the time as a lousy ISP, yet I use it for 100% of my Internet connectivity. The only alternative is AT&T DSL which sucks even worse.

There is no hypocrisy in Sanders' statements because there is no contradiction. Did Sanders' say that Uber should be banned? No, he didn't. He propose there should be some regulation of the company. You may not agree with that position, but your disagreement doesn't make Sanders' use of Uber hypocrisy. The article doesn't even say what regulations Sanders wants, but it does suggest financial and worker protections for uber drivers, which quite frankly makes a hell of a lot of sense. As America continues to transition to a service based economy, it makes moral, ethical and economic sense for laws to protect the powerless, the service workers, in this economy. The owners of Uber and other service companies don't need protection because they have all the power.

Now if you want to debate what kinds of labor laws are needed in the 21st century, that's a good debate to have. But it's bullshit to call Sanders' use of Uber hypocritical as he's not saying such companies or such industries should not exist. He is merely saying that the interests of tens of millions of American service workers should be protected so that those Americans don't become Chinese-style economic slave labor. And if you disagree with that, you just plain hate Americans.

The title of this thread should be Bernie Sanders saves tax payer dollars unlike fat-cat Republicans.

No. Uber is cheaper because it's not an oligopoly like most taxi services. I called up three different taxi companies listed in the Yellow Pages to comparison shop and literally the same guy answered all three calls and told me that all taxi numbers go to the same place and they charge the same rates. Free market my ass.

Well, you might as well kill most people in business. Many business leaders want to do the right thing, but are forced to compete with other businesses who are merely following the law. So, those business people work to develop laws that help set standards that lift the ethical behavior of the whole industry.

People in silicon valley are arguing for preferential treatment by claiming that they are partaking in the 'sharing economy.' The fact is, that is just a label that has some truth to it, but that is used to shield commerce from regulations. Should traditional cab companies give up their licenses, put up an internet site for calling a cab, and say that they are now part of the 'sharing economy?' It's nice that there is a time lag between when tech companies start and then become regulated. It gives them a nice cheater boost to gain market share. But, the idea that they are somehow different and get to shirk all other laws is moronic.

The fact is that the internet has made commerce national. I would say it was global, but there are many barriers to buying direct from overseas. Often, you will get slapped with a tariff for instance. Our constitution did not foresee this, and the jurisdictional law is unclear.

Free market my ass is right. We are soon getting to the same place with the insurance market thanks to Obamacare. No competition, high prices and poor service.

Progs just need to have government "regulating" every last service on the planet as it provides them more opportunity for graft and corruption. Unionize Uber so they can send their union dues to the Democrat party!

Honey, that has nothing to do with Obamacare. Obamacare is just a half-ass effort to make a few reforms to health insurance, but it does not address the real problem and those problems existed long before Obamacare.

There is no market for health insurance. Most people get their health insurance through their employment, which is insanely stupid for many reasons including the fact that you don't get to pick insurance providers. This has nothing to do with Obamacare, yet completely removes any resemblance of a market place, free or otherwise.

Additionally, if insurance companies are allowed to merge, the free market ceases to exist. No market can be free when there are only a few, big players as those players will control the market.

Nor is there any reason to believe, even by staunch capitalist theory, that a free market would be an efficient way to run health insurance. The entire purpose of free markets according to capitalist theory is to
1. Drive down prices by competition.
2. Encourage innovation through strategic risk taking.

Neither of these principles apply to health insurance. Having lots of small competitors would increase costs due to inefficiencies incurred by inconsistent and redundant work. Having a few big competitors also fails because of price leading and other collusion mechanisms. The most cost efficient insurance structure is a single, non-profit organization.

The second principle does not apply because there is absolutely no innovation to be performed in health insurance. A relatively small software system could easily run the entire health insurance, billing, and administrative needs of the entire nation's health care needs. The only innovation would be done by software developers and capitalism and free markets won't reward those engineers.

Even the religious doctrine of capitalism that risks should be rewarded does not apply as their are absolutely no risks in health insurance once your insurance pool reaches a critical size. Risk literally goes down to zero and then stays their as your pool of customers increases 10, 100, and 1000 fold.

But simply, the entire health insurance system should be a profitless, riskless system run entirely by software. Streamlining administrative costs as well would reduce the cost of health care by at least 50% by the most conservative estimates. And this is all without reducing care or doctor pay or even the profits of parasitic executives owning hospitals.

Health insurance is infrastructure, and infrastructure is best done by government, not by capitalism. Capitalism is best at providing luxury goods. As long as we waste resources allowing parasites to profit from infrastructure there will be fewer luxuries for everyone. Which society would you rather live in?
1. A society that has universal, socialize health care and all infrastructures are maintained by government and capitalism is used for luxuries. In this system, 5% of your income goes to health care and you can buy two large houses and a yacht.
2. A society that encourages private enterprise to profit from running infrastructure. In this system, 30% of your income goes to health care and other necessities take the remaining 70% of your income. You can barely afford necessities and owning a yacht or a second house is a pipe dream for you. However, some fat, lazy rich boy who never worked a day in his life has a monthly income greater than the income of your entire life and he owns several yachts. Luckily, you get to keep the fantasy that some day you will be just like him even though the system only supports 0.1% of people living like that and no one in your family has even a remote chance of being part of that 0.1% because those already in that tier have locked it so no one can challenge their financial position.

Put simply, even if your a greedy fuck who only cares about having lots of wealth, you should be a smart greedy fuck and support policies that allow wealth producers, not wealth owners, to accumulate wealth. Otherwise, you're just a fool being taken advantage of by parasites who know you'll nibble at the get-rich-quick fantasies they dangle in front of you. If you are over 30 and you aren't in the 0.1% already, you never ever will be. Like ever. And neither will your children, your grandchildren, or your great-grandchildren. So why not do them a favor and leave them a society where working hard and producing wealth allows people to become at least reasonably wealthy?

Regardless of what you WISHED Obamacare would become now that everyone admits its a turd - it doesn't change the fact that Obamacare regulations have reduced the number of insurance companies, where we have fewer choices of providers ("If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor") thanks to mergers of giant firms.

No different than your cab example once the government decides it needs to regulate it. Big connected firms will form monopolies using government regulations to keep new upstarts like Uber out of the market.

Regardless of what you WISHED Obamacare would become now that everyone admits its a turd

Yes, honey, but what kind of a turd it is and what it should be replaced with is the issue at hand. What conservatives argue for is the pre-Obamacare status quo, which is a terrible failure. Conservatives don't want to see the gravy train that enriches big insurance at the expense of the typical American family come to and end, and that is what is wrong. Everything bad about Obamacare comes from what conservatives wanted: the individual mandate (tax), private insurance companies, for-profit-model.

The only thing that the majority of the American people wanted was an end to being denied insurance due to pre-existing conditions, but the mechanism the American people wanted was universal, nationalized health insurance, which would be vastly superior to Obamacare and the prior system, which are pretty much identical except for the individual mandate and pre-existing conditions.

What you conservatives are going to have to accept is that getting rid of Obamacare can only be done one way, by replacing it with something better, namely a fully nationalized health insurance system, if not a fully nationalize health care system.

32   Dan8267   2015 Nov 6, 10:48am

No different than your cab example once the government decides it needs to regulate it.

What you call a regulation is simply another name for law. Government regulates everything. Murder is regulated. You can't just murder anyone you like. You can only kill people who are an immediate threat to your life or someone else's. Land use is regulated. You cannot enter another's person home without permission because of regulations prohibiting that. Clothing is regulated. You cannot walk around in public naked due to clothing regulations. Sex is regulated. It's illegal to have sex in public. It's also illegal to pay for or receive payment for sex. I don't see you bitching and moaning about all these regulations.

Calling a law a regulation does not change the nature of the law or whether or not people should support it. The absence of any law is anarchy and anarchy quickly devolves into tyranny under the law might is right.

So it is ridiculous and laughable whenever somebody complains about laws by calling them "regulations" as if that is an argument in of itself.

The only thing up to debate are what laws should exist and why. However, you are not debating that. In fact, you are not complaining about any actual law Sanders' is proposing, and you don't even know what he's proposing as it's not stated in the article. You are bitching and moaning that a for-profit company should have to obey any laws, and quite frankly, that's dumb. Of course every single person and every single corporation has to obey some laws. If this weren't the case, a corporation could kidnap your daughter and sell her as a sex slave. That's a perfectly legitimate business model if there are no laws. As such, objecting to the very idea that there are laws that corporations must obey is just plain silly.

Now if you want to debate what those laws should be and why, that would be an actually interesting conversation.

Just because Republicans do X 100% when in office does not mean that everyone else does X when in office. Republicans argue that government is always bad and cite their own policies as examples that prove this.

35   Dan8267   2015 Nov 6, 11:38am  

socal2 says

I think that statement encapsulates Progressive/Liberal thinking to a T.

And once again, you are wrong.

1. The statement government regulates everything does NOT mean the same thing as government needs to regulates everything.
2. There are lots of things that government SHOULD NOT regulate but does because conservatives demand that government regulates these things including prostitution, public nudity and sex, sex between consenting adults, drug usage of adults including everything from weed to crack, alcohol consumption, foul language on public airwaves, music, movie content and ratings, etc.
3. Liberals actual want far less government control over behavior than conservatives do. The difference is that liberals believe that the only legal restrictions on behavior should be ones that prevent one person from violating the rights of another, say by polluting public air or physically harming a person or economically exploiting a person who is powerless to stop that. In contrast, conservatives are always calling for laws that allow one group of people to force their culture onto others, steal the wealth production of others, sexually degrade a person, and otherwise make people powerless over their own lives. Please challenge me on this so I can go into exquisite details.

That said, there should be laws regulating human behavior that harms other human beings. The entire history of the United States has been a story of how a few people with power can effectively enslave, in one form or another, great numbers of other people. Laws regulating what businesses cannot do exist precisely because of all the evil things done by businesses in the past.

It is ridiculous to suggest that capitalists will not harm people when they can legally do so and make a profit. Hell, capitalists routinely commit crimes in the name of profit. It is also ludicrous to suggest that free market will magically ensure that only enterprises that help the world profit. This is empirically false and one needs only to look at the slave trade as an indisputable counter-example.

In fact, conservatives are damn inconsistent about apply the free market principle to businesses. Drug regulations created by Nancy Reagon's War on Drugs stifles small businesses and innovations in the field of recreational drugs. Why aren't free market principles applied to this? Shouldn't the free market determine whether or not children, or at least adults, use what drugs, when, and how much? Oh, that's different. It's always different when the business practice isn't one you want. Well, not every person is going to agree with everyone else on the planet about which businesses should thrive and which should not. The entire idea of the free market is that the market would decide this. So, are you going to accept that entrepreneurs should be allowed to sell crack on school grounds to children?


This is what the free market looks like. This is capitalism without regulations.


This is what an entrepreneur and small business owner looks like.

socal2 says

Just because we need a government to regulate crime

Honey, crime is just what the government decides is crime. There is no such thing as "crime" other than what is declared illegal by mere power of fiat. Make rape legal and selling cars illegal and then rapists are law-biding citizens and GM is an organize crime syndicate.

The adult conversation is about what should be a crime and why. Merely declaring something a crime does not make it evil or a bad for society. One needs only to look at the Fugitive Slave Act or the American Revolution as examples. Some of the greatest heroes in American history were, by definition, felons including Harriet Tubman and George Washington, the terrorist as defined in the USA Patriot Act.

Last I checked, we are talking about Uber.

That's what started the discussion, but you proposed that all laws regarding business practices are inherently bad, and that is clearly not so as evident by the fact that even you are in favor of many regulations such as prohibitions on the sales of drugs and sex.

socal2 says

Bernie thinks the government needs to regulate how private citizens hire people to drive them around.

As do you. I don't see you complaining about businesses, Uber or other, being prohibited from hiring "illegal immigrants". That's a regulation.

The only question that is meaningful is exactly what set of regulations should exist, not whether or not there should be any. You have no idea what Sanders might want to make law because the article does not state that.

What you are arguing, as evident from the above quote, is that there should be no laws regulating "how private citizens hire people to drive them around", but you clearly don't believe that unless you think private citizens should be able to hire illegal immigrants to drive them around, mow their lawn, clean their houses, pick their strawberries, build houses, etc. Somehow I doubt a conservative could bring himself to agree to that.

Furthermore, by the principle you are proposing, private citizens should be able to buy crack from other private citizens. Do you apply your principles here?

Clearly, you have no problem with regulations, and since Sanders has not proposed any specific regulation, it is pure hypocrisy for you to attack him when you accept, nay demand, other regulations on businesses.

Again, it would be one thing to object to specific laws, but to object to the concept of businesses being required to comply to laws while insisting on laws prohibition business practices like drugs sales, prostitution, hiring of immigrants who don't fit under quotas, etc. is utter hypocrisy. It's a direct and indisputable contradiction.

As to whether or not I agree with what laws Sanders' would like to see enacted, there is no possible way I can answer that question before he actually proposes a bill.
