Bernie was voted number TWO most left in the Senate! —behind Obama.

Well, a "democratic socialist" is infinitesimally to the right of a Communist.

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????

The way things are going, where would you suggest as a safe haven? It looks to me like a global melt down is headed our way...

No, its not. I think a 90% marginal tax rate is nuts, but it does not mean that the Government takes 90 cents of every dollar you earn.

Explain that to Bernie. He’ll be disappointed.

Sanders purpose in this election is to make ANY democrat opponent appear to be reasonable and electable. Sanders is to be as ridiculous and strident as possible so as to deflect from an honest appraisal of the other leftists.

What an idiot. Sure, under Eisenhower the top rate was 90% but NO ONE PAID IT! Total moron.

There is nothing stopping the leftists from giving 90% of their income to the IRS right now. None of them do. Not even Bernie. Funny how that is.

Finally one of these leftist loons defines what he means by “fair share”; 90%

He seems to understand:

SANDERS: No. That’s not 90 percent of your income, you know? That’s the marginal.

Income taxes don’t hurt the wealthy-because they don’t have “income”.

When the RATs talk about WEALTH redistribution they MEAN income redistribution - which is very different.

don’t bet on it- he’s promising people all kinds of ‘free things’- that was what got our present _Resident elected- TWICE! and for some unknowable reason people in VT love him- and while VT’ers are a bit strange- I think many in this country think just like them judging by the last two votes for _resident

Just like Hillary, they are as tight with their money as they are generous with everyone else’s.

Pray America is waking

It’s more proof that Sanders is a babbling fool. The rate was once 90 percent while Jack Kennedy was president. He cut it to 70 percent, and revenues INCREASED. Reagan cut it again to 28 percent, and revenues nearly DOUBLED. Only a fool fails to learn from history.

There is a guy who runs a site called the Dollar Vigilante and 2 or 3 years ago he was talking about a place down in Argentina some people had bought and were moving to there like in “Atlas Shrugged”.

The quack should try doing this himself for a few years before he tries to prescribe it for others.
