Who knows more about economics and business, a billionaire or Bernie Sanders? Are you referring to Trump? The guy who is only rich because his father gave him upwards of 200 million dollars? That was in the 1970s too mind, so Trump would literally be richer than he is now if he'd simply left that money in a bank for half a century. I note that predictably you've also made no mention of the fact that Trump has filed for bankruptcy four separate times. I presume that the reason for this is because you realise how retarded your neo-Nazi propaganda would sound if you wrote: Who knows more about economics and business, a man who has filed for bankruptcy four times or a man who literally convinced the public to fund his political campaign? You evidently don't think twice about omitting information damaging to your deranged far right belief system, and that is (one of the reasons) why you are obviously insane.

I don’t know how much Trump’s old man gave him, but 200 million in 1975 wouldn’t have inflated to even a billion today. Just saying. I looked it up a while ago and if I remember rightly it would be worth about 0.8 billion, or 800,000 dollars. The point is that it isn't difficult to be rich when your daddy gives you hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, I would determine that someone would have to work very hard to ever become poor in that situation. Trump himself at one point literally had to have his entire portfolio bailed out through massive bank loans. Side: Colonel Sanders
Sports betting is very simple and you can make good money if you bet and analyze sports games and sports events. I like bookmakers with a mobile version of the program, like https://parimatch.in/en/ipl-team-vs-team , because I can view my sports bets from anywhere. It is very simple and convenient for me. Do you often bet on sports? Side: Entrepeneur billionaire

Having money does not mean you have brains.. So, I'm betting on Bernie. It does when you created thousands of businesses worldwide and created 10,000 times your original starting loan. I'd hate to be the last genius in office that said none of what Trump has done was possible. Side: Entrepeneur billionaire

Business and economics are two separate subjects. A good analogy is: business is akin to knowing how to play chess, while economics is akin to knowing how to design a fair games. A wealthy businessman is someone who has learned how to play the game very well; but even at that, economic policy doesn't affect businesses equally. If you're in the business of making socks, regulation and taxation of pop products wouldn't really affect your business. When it comes to making economic policy, being a businessman doesn't mean you understand what good economic policy looks like. If anything, a businessman could use the opportunity to make themselves richer at the loss of everyone else (that's technically good business). The opposite is also true, you could be a terrible businessman but a genius in economic policy. So here are the billion dollar questions... Is Bernie Sanders a good economic policy maker? Can you show that Bernie Sanders' legislative ideas would be a detriment or benefit to the economy? Would Warren Buffett make economic policy that benefits everyone or just the wealthy?

It was just an analogy, it's not meant to reflect every aspect of how running a business is. What I was trying to do is make juxtaposition of the difference between knowledge of running a business and economics. Like "how to sell stuff for more than you bought it" is learning the basics of business, similar to how learning the way the queen moves is basics in chess. I hope that clarifies that for you.

Business is akin to playing a particular game. Economics is akin to understanding why people play the way they play and how play might change under different rules. While I agree that being good at business is not the same as understanding good economic policy, not all businessmen or policy-makers are created equal. Some businessmen would be lousy at economic policy, and vice verse. Is Bernie Sanders a good economic policy maker? No Can you show that Bernie Sanders' legislative ideas would be a detriment or benefit to the economy? Probably. Provide the example. Would Warren Buffett make economic policy that benefits everyone or just the wealthy? I expect he would make ok policy. The little I know about him leads me to believe that were he to take a governmental position, he would attempt to execute his duties faithfully, rather than exploitativly. He is known for smart business, not dirty business. It’s unreasonable to think any given policy will benefit everyone. The idea removes the agency from people. Policy can at least refrain from enacting zero sum games. Side: Entrepeneur billionaire
Is Bernie Sanders a good economic policy maker? No Would Warren Buffett make economic policy that benefits everyone or just the wealthy? I expect he would make ok policy. Of course you do, because it is perfectly evident that you are a crook who assesses information on the basis of its perceived personal value to him, rather than its factual validity. In short, you once argued for three days straight that the Iraq War was legal. Your opinion can be immediately and permanently discounted on the grounds that it belongs to a transparently disingenuous corporate shill. Side: Entrepeneur billionaire
