But in all seriously. I registered as a Republican but I consider myself a centrist. I will never ever ever ever ever vote for Trump. Cruz is a slime ball. I like Kasich but he needs 110% of the vote. Hilary is a liar and I don't like her and I think sander's plan sounds nice but isn't feasible for the United States. So yeah. #DeezNuts2016

Respectfully replying- nothing is free. And his tax plan math doesn't add up well...at least last time I looked. I also come from a family - run small business background and it seems that what taxes he does plan to impose to pay for all these free things will completely destroy what is left of the small business industry. But...I do think his heart is in the right place and I consider myself more socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. I'd vote for him over Trump and maybe over Cruz.

Trump is...Trump, so hellll no. Cruz is a psycho and wants to start WW3. Also I just CAN'T deal with his voice (that's not why I'm not voting for him, though). I actually like Kasich but he'll never ever get the nomination I agree with Nicole J about Bernie. His ideas are great, but I don't know how well they'd work for the US. Hillary's ideas are more practical than Bernie's but she's just so controversial and I don't trust her.
Can we get all new candidates? Please?

I don't like how the new taxes look under Bernie. Whenever I look into it I see all these hidden payroll taxes that will raise everyone's taxes. So even if my income tax doesn't go up the rest of it will. Plus I don't think free college will solve the problem. Most of the people getting degrees don't even use them.

Ok...what is with all the new college grads not getting jobs. I'm 22 so all my friends just graduated about a year ago...and barely any of them even looked for a real life job. Almost every day I see another college friend pop up on my Facebook announcing they got a job as a waitress or hotel towel girl or something. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a waitress...but if you just graduated from college and you just spent 4 years working your ass off for your degree and now have $40,000 in student loan debt to start paying...why are you only looking at waitressing in jobs? I don't get it...

I don't get it... A lot of the jobs that require degrees require experience as well. So it's really hard to get a job with that degree. Some fields it's harder then others computer degrees were super popular when I graduated high school. But when those kids got those degrees they couldn't get a job because entry level didn't really mean entry level. Eventually they would have to find some other job to pay the bills. But it wasn't what we were promised as kids.

It's not so much about raising taxes but redistributing the money that already is taken in taxes. Right now our taxes are being used for countless useless programs--congressmen that have millions in spending accounts for dinners with visiting dignitaries, programs that aren't working or even active anymore, billions on a war that not ours to fight. He's advocating for changing how that wealth is distributed. Would our taxes go up...if he got everything passed through congress, yes. But that will never happen. Congress is too polarized. I think there will be a lot of compromise for the good under a sanders presidency but we will not become a democratic socialist nation. I like how his values have not changed over his 30+ years as a politician. He has always stood for the same things and fought for the people that aren't part of the 1%. In regards to the small business your family owns. He is definitely your best option!

But I do agree that our spending needs to be reprioritzed and that most of the increases in taxes he wants won't pass in Congress...which is why I haven't ruled him put as an option. I do highly value the overall integrity of the President. I think a President with integrity pushes us in the right direction domestically and contributes to international respect (which having respect is #1 in foreign policy to me)...and I and confident that Sanders has integrity and would be a respected national leader. I can't say the same for Trump or cruz.

Haha, trump and integrity were in the same sentence. I giggled. That man is turning a presidential election into a middle school playground fight. It's comical! But also scary as hell!

I don't get it... Personally, I've never had issues getting jobs in my field. I'm 23. I have 2 degrees in English and public relations and I work in marketing. I get lots of interviews and some job offers. A lot of the people I went to high school and college with recently graduated and have gotten jobs within their field as well. They're in various fields and live all over the US. On the other hand, I do hear of people with masters degrees that can't get jobs. Maybe it's people's resumes? I've seen some pretty crappy resumes with horrible grammar/layout issues. Maybe it's the way people interview that screws them over? Maybe it's just laziness when it comes to applying for jobs?

A lot of people don't know how to look for a job. That is very true. And college could definitely be cheaper. I think there are better ways to accomplish it. I just took a college chemistry class. It was the same thing I learned in high school. But I had to take it to put a check in the box. Same with English 101. I will probably never have to type up a 5 page analysis again. But it was a check in the box. Now I have to take humanities classes. None of which will have to do with my career. But it gets the colleges more money. Getting rid of these classes or by allowing high school credit for some of these could reduce the cost without costing tax payers anything.
There are also a lot of certifications that can be earned by high school students that would give them a boost into a field. Mechanics, welding, EMT, CNA or CMA. This would give high school grads a way into a field and give them a decent paying job while the do college if the choose. Or an ok job if they decide to stay there.
