At least Sanders is honest!
after that, he’ll get three votes nationwide.
The good thing about Bernie Sanders is that there shouldn’t be any sort of compulsion felt to refute or even ridicule him.
Just let him blather himself into oblivion.
If 90% sounds good isn’t 110% better?
Does he subscribe to this tax rate? If not, why not?
Sometimes, a nation’s freedom can be measured by its tax rate.
None of these idiots seem to remember or understand that the Tax rates were high and were leftover from W.W. II..
But one one paid that rate, there were write offs then that don’t exist now.
You put a marginal rate of 90% and what you will get is any way to evade taxes and how many productive people will just go John Gault and give up or leave the country????
OK, it’s official - he’s in it to make Hillary look like a sane alternative.
Sanders is another new deal democrat.
Hell, why not go for a 100% marginal tax rate? FDR pushed for one. He didn’t get it.
I look up Bernie’s history on Wikipedia. I was shocked to learn he is not yet 74! I thought he was well into his 80s. I guess those cold winters in Vermint take their toll on my brother Darrell and my other brother Darrell.
And Bernie was voted number TWO most left in the Senate! —behind Obama. Idiot Biden was 3rd.
Fine, impose it on society’s biggest winners -> POLITICIANS and their crime families.
I liked it better when he was with the Detroit Lions..
“SANDERS: No. That’s not 90 percent of your income, you know? That’s the marginal. I’m sure you have some really right-wing nut types, but I’m not sure that every very wealthy person feels that it’s the worst thing in the world for them to pay more in taxes, to be honest with you. I think you’ve got a lot of millionaires saying, “You know what? I’ve made a whole lot of money. I don’t want to see kids go hungry in America. Yeah, I’ll pay my fair share.””
Put a little box on your tax return which asks you if you want to give more. See how many do.
The really sad thing is that the wealthy wouldn’t pay higher taxes - but the middle class would.
Over at DU, the DUmmies are in one of two camps - Hillary or Bernie. Those are their only options.
Hell, why not tax the “rich” people 100% and put them on welfare.
“He’s called for a $15 dollar an hour minimum wage, far exceeding President Obama’s proposal to hike the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. He’s proposed expanding Social Security benefits and paying for it by raising taxes.”
Bet if the Fed let go of interest rates Bernie wouldn’t be saying this. That’s the only thing that is keeping Dems in power. They are hiding the Phillips Curve.
