How will the US survive?
But are his plans feasible?

Didn't someone show a different chart yesterday where those making over 250K were hit much harder?

The tax brackets aren't the worst thing I ever saw, but they're on the way to it. The biggest problem is everything he wants to spend. Jacking up taxes doesn't mean you'll get more revenue...but spending more...oh yeah that always happens.

Explain how raising taxes doesn't result in more revenue.

Then explain why a top tax rate of 52% is higher than the 90% rate during the Eisenhower years y'all yearn for so much.

Sanders launches multi-pronged attack against Clinton

Maybe this is because the super rich has taken all the wealth/profit and fucked over the workers to make them poor? Ever think of that?

Yes, most of his supporters don't have much money. That's because a lot of them are college students and college-age kids who are supporting him because they know nothing about economics or history and because they want as much "free" stuff as they can get. Most of these folks have never run a business, have no clue what it takes to run a business, and have never had a serious job.

A lot of his supporters are also business owners. I know two business owners who are ardent supporters of sanders and a lot of other upper middle class hard working people who are supporters of his. It isn't just college kids.

America's standard of living was the highest during the 50s & 60s when the tax rate was much higher. It forced companies to re-invest in itself & their worker bees to avoid paying those high rates instead of the way its set up now where profits are hoarded, &/or paid out to the top execs & paying out such low meager wages to their workforce... forcing them to go on food stamps & get their healthcare thru Medicaid.

Nobody is "forcing" them to do anything. It's a choice.

If you're not making enough money, it's not a companies fault. They did not make you a failure--you did.

If you want to be worth more money, get an education, start your own business, or learn a trade. You can't wash cars for the rest of your life and expect to support yourself and a family.
