These people are so rooted in the old systems that any deviation from them seems like a 7.0 earthquake. Talk about afraid of progress. Progressives are scared silly of it and only want the old tried and failed Kensian or Marxian blueprints.
Take all of their money and the government is still broke.
Everyone knows that the govt. can just raise taxes or print more money if they need to spend more. Silly Republicans.
All of these candidates deny fiscal reality. In the next 10 years, revenues will need to increase by 40 percent simply to keep federal spending even,
I would also add that for a successful tax plan, the people have to be honest and trust the government. It takes a long time to rebuild those.
Former Republican Rep. Bill Archer of TX wanted to "...rip the tax code out by its roots." He tried...
We must have missed the NYT’s investigation of the Hillary/Bernie tax plans. Oh...that’s right...they are only promising Free Stuff to every Democrat voting bloc in the country, paid for by “taxing the rich” of course.
The sooner the Times goes broke and the building is sold to the highest bidder, the better it will be for the nation.
The problem with socialists...their economic analyses are static.
The bottom line solution will be that “We the People” need to stop expecting the government to take care of all our wants and desires right down to wiping our butts. That will take more than changes to the tax code but changes to our culture and expectations. Not an easy one but then again, I work with teens at Church so I’m an optimist at heart. I have hope and have seen indications of great things from them.
Amen to that!
I'd love to see the Trump company purchase the Times building and turn it into an evil capitalistic luxury hotel in the heart of NYC.....producing employment and accomodations for tens of thousands of Americans who are not journalistic zombies bent on the destruction of our Republic and our freedoms.

Like anyone believes the math of the NYT...or anything else.
Hello.....they are journalism majors......
Then let's not keep federal spending even.

The NYT has a history of being wrong on so many things.....
100 percent tax would not be enough for the present runaway government.
If this is the fiscal program advocated by the New York Times (and by extension Progressives of all stripes), one can quite readily understand why the Republicans are looking for an alternative.

The New York Slime says the new tax plans won’t work.
Then where, dear Editor-in-Chief of the NYT, is YOUR proposed tax plan?
RE: Then let’s not keep federal spending even.
We don’t even need to keep it even. The former Congressman Connie Mack has proposed a plan that both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity like — THE PENNY PLAN.
See here:

Mr. Mackâs bill, H.R. 1848, would cut one-penny-out-of-every dollar actually spent by the federal government from year-to-year for the next six years, from FY 2012-FY 2017. Beginning in FY 2018, there would be a budget cap of 18% of GDP (the average federal revenue as a percentage of GDP over the past 30 years). And by FY 2019 America would finally have a balanced budget â that is, assuming revenues naturally increase from the current 14.8% of GDP to 18% of GDP by 2019, after which the budget would be in surplus.
Unfortunately, the man got voted out in 2012 (Together with Col. Allen west). Thanks Florida.

See Sanders, Bernard.
