Elections Kevin Lee at a Bernie Sanders Rally

[DeathStroke]

No socialism dos'nt work like that. Only about 15% of all revenue earned by the UFC goes to the guys who earn them that money, with their blood, sweat, tears and health i.e the fighters.
So what would happen is Baldy Diana White will be forced to increase the wages for all fighters especially the prelim fighters. So instead of it being 15% of the revenue going to the fighters and 85% to the UFC, it will be at least 80% to the fighters (especially the poorest) and 20% to the UFC.

I hope I've made that clear to you.

You have made that abundantly clear. I am operating under 2 key assumptions though.

1. Money is finite. The UFC cant simply make more money.

2. Dana (and the investors for that matter) require a certain salary/return to keep doing their jobs. Decrease their salaries enough, and they pull the plug.

Edit: you also seem to think the UFC has no expenses? You do know the difference between gross revenue and profit right?

So if the money cant come from thin air, and Dana and the investors dont want to function as a non/low profit business, where do you want the extra money to come from? I felt it was reasonable to assume itd come from the top fighters.

Good thing he lives in a free country and can to whatever rally he wants.

My bad, I meant profits. Allowing the UFC to keep 20% of the profits is very reasonable. They will still have enough the greedy Trump supporters.
I think also the highest paid fighters can come down a peg or two. Conor can command a $5-10million fight fee (including pay per view), along with Khabib (who according to his manager if getting even more). So those who are only getting about $12,000 most certainly can be moved up to about $30,000/fight.

Did he really tweet that??

 

[Left Hook Lacy]

Hmmm interesting. A democratic socialist whose also a cage fighter. I wonder how he would feel if the ufc adopted democratic socialism (cutting salaries for top fighters to give money to prelim guys).

Honest question. Not trying to start a flame war.

LOL.

Don't want to bring politics into this, but does he know Bernie would take all his money if he got elected?

LOL.

'Murica!

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Did he really tweet that??

No. I just edited this tweet.

 

[JPM1223]

Remember when Kevin Lee mentioned Bernie Sanders?

<Lmaoo><45><45><45><45>

 

[tatanos]

OOOOH this retard is back, arguing with gifs. No shocker that you would use an AV from that terrible no-guns video game that the UFC has been spamming ads for.

Also LOL that this bed wetter thinks a Hideo Kojima game wouldn't have guns in it <45>

Go check out Death Stranding folks, GOTY 2019.

PS. Here's what Bernie Sanders has to say about owning firearms in the United States.

Bernie Sanders calls gun buybacks 'unconstitutional' at rally: It's 'essentially confiscation'

Could you make this any easier?

That tweet was about Ronda Rousey after she lost to Holly Holm. Someone edited in Lee’s twitter handle somehow.

Guys, it's simple. The economy is going to get worse and worse for the average guy of middling education - most of the jobs in this sector are going to be automated away. We are already at the point of ridiculously high wealth inequality, so the middle class is NOT going to have a big comeback without some major policy changes. When the rich get really rich (>$1B), they change all the rules in their favor so they can get even richer - that's just what they do. As a society, we have to limit the ability of rich people to screw with democracy - so we have to tax billionaires out of existence.

If your net worth is less than a million dollars, voting for Bernie is a no-brainer. I'd suggest that even someone with a net worth of less than $100 M has strong reasons to vote for Bernie.

All of you wannabe millionaires with less than $10 THOUSAND dollars in their bank that are more conservative than billionaires themselves are dumb as rocks. Even most billionaires support a hike in income taxes at their bracket (though they oppose a wealth tax, obviously). You're voting against your own economic interests because you dislike "snowflakes" and SJWs and abortion and other inane fixations.

Something tells me Kevin Lee wouldn't be so bothered if the pay outs of guys like McGregor and Khabib were spread out over the card a bit more.

That CNN reporter Erin her husband is a Wall Street trader and hedge fund manager likely worth 100 millions of dollars so she has a personal stake in the game. It should be announced before every news story because it taints her reporting bad.

"
At the age of 48, American entrepreneur David Rubulotta's life could not have gotten any better. Boasting a whopping net worth alongside a happy family, he had ticked almost every life goals. He ticked another one when he welcomed their third child!

Currently, working as the managing director at Citibank, David Rubulotta is best known for marrying famous financial journalist Erin Burnett of CNN.

With a growing family, David's wife, Burnett previously shared how having children has shaped her job and how she covers news stories related to gun violence and war differently"

Yeah, compare that with what he has said in most of his rallies. He is from Vermont, where people are liberal but own rifles in the rural areas. See what his actual, radical pro-BLM, socialist agenda is.

But yeah, lets take a life-long politician who preaches high taxes and owns 5 homes at his word at a rally. THAT is TOTALLY the same as facts.

What is his voting record according to the NRA? Oh that is right, its 13%! Retard, keep memeing and I will keep earning.

Um, what's your point with taxes and home ownership? Someone who has made a lot of money and still advocates for high taxes on the rich is even more credible, because they're advocating against their own self-interest. If he were rich and advocated for tax cuts on the rich, we would rightly call him out for being biased towards his own self interest.

Him and his spouse have had a six-figure income that consisted almost entirely of their combined wages up until about 2015. If they saved and had little debt, they could have reasonably owned anywhere from 1-3 homes without it being odd - I know many people who have done similar. In 2016 and beyond, he had a popular book, and made from $500 k to $1 M per year since then. This is after almost a lifetime of just making a living, albeit comfortable, wage. So buying a couple more houses wouldn't have been a big deal.

There have been FEW politicians with the same consistency as Bernie with respect to economic issues. He's advocated pro-socialist positions forever. And now that he's actually semi-wealthy, he hasn't changed his opinion. That's the definition of consistent and credible.

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Are a significant number of people really planning to vote for an old man who just had a heart attack to run the country?

 

[Greco_Wiz]

It’ll be nice to see when both Lee and Sanders fail miserably over the next year.

He is a public servant for life who became rich....in public service. There was an anecdote about this...

He became rich semi-recently after writing a best-selling book. He's released his last 10 years of tax returns, you can see for yourself. Almost all of his income prior to that came from wages from himself and his spouse. He didn't become rich due to public service.

Why is it that you guys just always scream "but the taxes!!!!" And dont finish the rest of the story? You're getting something for that increase in tax.
That's healthcare that your employer no longer has to provide, and that no longer comes out of your paycheck. You don't go into medical and student debt. That money gets taken out of the military, prisons, and subsidizing corporations and goes into improving the lives of Americans.

Your TOTAL costs decrease. You have the health and education to pursue a better life and make more money.
And you're not a billionaire or a multimillionaire so it's not even like the taxes that Bernie is talking about would effect you.

Lol Who gives a flying fuck what grade the NRA give? They have proven to be untrustworthy lunatics. They won't concede a single inch to any sort of gun regulations.

Bernie isn't anti 2nd ammendment.
He isn't anti money either, so this notion that because he got rich he's a hypocrite is retarded. He isn't a communist.
He's been in politics for decades and didn't really get a lot of money till after the last election from the book he wrote. Agree or disagree with his views, but he has more integrity than any other politician you could name. You can find tapes from 20 years ago of him fighting for the same stuff he was fighting for back then that he's fighting for now.
