Democrat presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, has no problem with taking 90% of your income

[theDoctorisIn]

Talk about inequality. The government has it all while you're at their mercy under his ideas.

Bernie Sanders A 90 tax rate sounds fine to me Hot Air

Of course not. Like most one percenters he feels you aren't qualified to take care of yourself so give him all your wealth and he'll put you on an allowance.

Bernie Sanders is not a "one percenter".

My immediate family has a higher net worth than he does.

You mean like they did during the Eisenhower administration, when we created one of the greatest infrastructure programs of our history and entered into a period of unprecedented prosperity. What a horrible idea.

Sorry the money would have to be spent to pay down the debt,no new programs for you.

You mean rather than investing in a crumbling infrastructure and putting a whole lot of people to work in long term projects? You think that is the best approach?

Nope...have to pay down the debt.
And besides,the infrastructure down here in Texas is just fine. If you want better roads and bridges where you live pay for em your damn self.

I think that is a mistake, but I'd be willing just for that tax rate.

Just a 90% rate? That is so considerate of you!

Well I'm sure Liberals feel ALL money earned was only made possible because of government.
So it's really the governments money to begin with.

 

[Mac1958]

From the piece:

He’s willing to have the government come and take ninety cents out of every dollar you earn if you commit the sin of being too successful in modern America.

That's a quote. Now I'm the first to admit that I never know when to take partisans seriously, stipulated. But do you think that he is unaware of how marginal tax rates function, or is he purposely trying to mislead the reader, in other words, being dishonest?

Just curious.

[Desperado]

Bernie like other Democrats believe that no matter how much you earn, it is not your money.
The man is nothing but a socialist, and if he doesn't like the the system in the US, he is more that free to leave to a country more to his liking, say Cuba for instance.

 

[westwall]

He's a communist disguised as a socialist.

Good luck with that Bernie. Although the left is so fucking crazy it would not surprise me if this idiot won.

So it's better that I made $36.5M last year and paid nothing?

What about Fisher Island, Fl., where the average income is $850K, properties sell for over $1M, and unemployment is 13%. Who do you think the 'unemployed' are?

Besides, if you raise the top tax bracket to 90%, with loopholes and favorable deductions the rich will remain rich,.

In a socialist paradise, such as Bernie wishes to create, there is a very wealthy overlord ship who dictate what everyone else gets. That has been the pattern throughout history.

It's true. Without the help from the government I probably wouldn't be as wealthy as I am today.

I'm not aware of Bernie Sanders ever suggesting that he wanted to "create" a "socialist paradise" in America...

 

[OnePercenter]

Sure you did. You're on the public dole. We ALL know that. Try coming up with a more convincing lie.

I never wrote I was on the public dole.

Bloviating. Your Libertarianism Makes You Stupid

As long as modern Dem's hold office we will never pay down the debt

We are "paying down the debt" every day.

I really get the impression that you guys don't understand how government debt works. It's not like a credit card.

 

[OnePercenter]

Relax people. I doubt any of us on this message board have anything to fear from a 90% tax bracket.

What's 'funny' is that the right on this board continues to promote the people that are screwing them.

Not in the least. Democrats are promoting giving back, something that un-American sociopaths like you can't fathom.

Giving Back...... That is what you are calling taxes now? Must be a new code word, the truth is that the Democrats are promoting more taxes.
Truly giving back should be between you and your charity with no government involvement. It is not the government's duty to tell you how to spend your money.

The debt was created during a Republican administration and continues because we have to play catchup.

Democrats want to put Americans back to work at livable wages.

Bernie Sanders makes Dennis Kucinich look like a viable candidate

Now as we all know Sanders is of course talking about taxing the so called 1% at the 90% rate. What he of course doesn't get or chooses to ignore is that one that is a very small group your talking about so you won't get as much money as you think and two most if not all who get taxed at that rate will pack up their money and move it somewhere with a lower tax rate.

That's little red book economics and its just wrong
