He is plenty specific. So is his rhetoric.does that mention his tax rate?From the debates, the best I could gather is he is thinking about 60 or 70%.
Best thing to do would be to read the issue statements on his site:
Issues - Bernie Sanders
It certainly won't be 60-70% on the middle class. The entire economic goal of his campaign is to eliminate the inequities that have been sucking the middle class dry.
That stupid "90%, 100%...he wants to take everything" meme is strictly a Trumpism. Amazing how many people think it makes sense.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you actually clicked the link and say he's as specific as any candidate at this stage.
Unless you're an idiot, you don't announce a specific tax rate table at this stage of your campaign. You consult with economists and you, for instance, discuss how you'll pay for your education plan. On that, Sanders is specific, and I'll be happy to walk you through it.
Thinking you can just announce a number without knowing the situation on the ground the day you take office is pandering. "Flat tax" is a good one. "Disband the IRS and raise the sales tax" is another.
What's your candidate's proposed tax plan?
They are pretty specific with theirs, actually. Well... some lol. And I think that's a good thing. Plenty of time for debate. Actually having a plan isn't pandering I wouldn't think.. Saying you are going to give out all this free shit and not say what you are going to tax the people, is.
I don't have a candidate yet. IDK if I will.
The "free shit" is just a buzz phrase feeding off Trumpism. None of his Biggest Fans know or care how he intends to pay for the Trump Wall. More casinos, I guess.
