Scene: Small
stage in a small auditorium on a small college campus. A band is tuning and setting up their
equipment. The keyboard player is none
other than Bernie Sanders who was actually cheated in a Presidential Primary race by Crooked Hillary in 2016. Blitzed Wolfer and his film crew approach
Candidate Sanders with the microphone and a camera.
Blitzed Wolfer:
Hi ya, Bernie.
Bernie Sanders:
Well, if it isn’t my old friend Mr. Wolfer. How ya been you old dog?
Blitzed:
Fine, so tell me, how’s the band sounding?
Bernie: Well,
they try hard but, they ain’t The Beatles and I’m no John Lennon, I’ll tell ya that.

Not John Lennon |
Blitzed:
Isn’t that Billy-Bob Jones who used to play with the Allman Brothers in
the 70s, playing bass for you?
Bernie: Nah,
that’s Bobby Smith who played with the Almond Brothers or some other nuttballs
a long time ago. I dunno, who can
remember?
Blitzed: So,
are you here just to get away from the stress of the campaign trail for a
while?
Bernie: Yeah,
and ya know, I gotta pay the bills too.
Blitzed: Yes,
I was going to ask you about that. I
heard the ticket price for this little event was $250.00. Isn’t that a little steep for a band that is “not
The Beatles”?
Bernie: Steep-
Schmeep! What, don’t I have a right to
earn a decent living?
Blitzed:
Well, of course you do but, you know you are the one always preaching about
how everything should be free for everybody.
Isn’t there some hypocrisy in charging such a high
price to these kids here who will be struggling to pay their student loans?
Bernie: Hippo
– Schmippo! These kids coming here
tonight represent the 1% that can come out to our show. Let’s just consider the 250 clams a Tax on
the rich. They have to pay their fair
share so the other kids don’t have to hear how bad we really are.

Bernie: Then we’ll throw those bastards in jail!
Blitzed: Uh,
that makes no sense. If you jail the
kids for not seeing your show, they can’t go to either show and both bands go
broke.
Bernie: Broke-Schmoke! We’ll throw them in jail and make them pay a $500.00
fine to the Government and then the Government can pay my band to perform in
the jail and everybody is happy.
Blitzed:
Happy-Schmappy! What about the
innocent American kids you jailed and forced to hear your band?
Bernie: To hell
with them. They shouldn’t have been in
the 1%.
Blitzed: Uh,
yeah, uh, well, I gotta go now. (under his breath and to his film crew) let’s
get the heck out of here. The Crazy is
getting a little deep in here.
Bernie: Okay,
I’ll see you later for the show and don’t forget your $250 bucks and that goes
for your crew too.
Wow! I guess we learned something about Socialist
Economic Policy or Economic Socialist Policy or maybe just plain old Insanity.
What
do you think?
