What makes America great ??
Land of opportunity is a good start. Bernie's and Warren's plans will stifle it. If you lived in a welfare country like France, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Sweden or Greece, you would have a difficult time being successful, as defined by comparing success in the USA. Because, your money is taken by the government. Bernie and Warren would be all in for that. Tax revenue in France, for instance, is 46%. You want Bernie to take 46% of your salary? He will take more than that. He thinks that we are a rich country, so we can afford it!! Can you?
Edit: I just looked up Sweden....Average worker pays 30% in income tax, but additionally close to 30% in hidden taxes. ;That is 60%. Sure would be hard to get ahead in Sweden.
America is great because you can get ahead, and be anything you want to be.
