Sanders Tax Plan Would Hammer Middle Class Families

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The average middle class family would get hit with a $6,100 income tax increase under Bernie Sanders tax plan. My family's tax bill would increase over $16,000 according to this calculator. Anybody supporting this man should be a beaten with a stick

This simple calculator tells you how each presidential candidate's tax plan affects you

It's not your place to even make such a calculation. That wasn't your money to begin with. It always belonged to the people! Be grateful you are allowed to keep any selfish amount at all. It sounds like you could benefit from a few decades working on a collective farm learning 'correct' thinking.

Some new taxes for the middle class. Some new benefits for the middle class. Not that any of it has a chance of passing anytime soon.

Why would anyone vote for that?

Why would anyone vote for that?

The promise of free stuff to people who don't have enough life experience or maturity or understanding of economics to understand TANSTAAFL.

LAIR!!

Bern is a socialist, a SOCIALIST, and would never propose a tax plan that he knew would screw over middle Americans!!!!!!!!!



oh wait, he is a socialist, so he actually didn't know how bad his economic plan is.

I thought of that after I had posted. Many of the ones that vote for him won't be paying any taxes at all. We working folks do all that.

If it is true, it certainly is not a conspiracy.

This man won the Nobel Peace Prize in economics, this in the day that it actually meant you were really really good at what you were doing.

Ironically, he was a professor at the University of Chicago, the same university that Bern graduated from.

 

[Kat]

Yikes. I just did the calculation.

 

[Two Thumbs]

did it myself, it's the same as paying ~ 7 months more in rent.


hurrah for socialism

You gotta give propaganda credit, mention taxes and the wackos would shoot their dog. Sixty years of brainwashing has truly worked, the right wing would elect Dumbo the Idiot if he promised lower taxes. Too funny the control money power has over the minds of the wingnuts. Fools look to Kansas and see the shining dump on the hill.

"There is no historical evidence that tax cuts spur economic growth. The highest period of growth in U.S. history (1933-1973) also saw its highest tax rates on the rich: 70 to 91 percent. During this period, the general tax rate climbed as well, but it reached a plateau in 1969, and growth slowed down five years later. Almost all rich nations have higher general taxes than the U.S., and they are growing faster as well." Tax cuts spur economic growth

The Obama Boom

"The national infatuation with pointless defense spending has generated expenditures that are utterly out of control. Spending rose gradually at first from its 1995 low, then soared after the terrorist attacks of 2001, reaching a high of $653 billion for fiscal year 2009 with no end in sight as the major presidential candidates had pledged to further increase the Pentagon's budget. They made these promises despite the fact that the United States at that time spent more on defense than all the rest of the world put together. China, the second most heavily armed state, had a military budget one-tenth the size of America's. Even the gigantic U.S. figure grossly underestimates the real costs of maintaining a bloated military establishment. The War Resisters League, a pacifist organization and therefore hardly impartial, compiled an interesting analysis of the full costs in fiscal year 2009 using official government publications. It is entitled "Where Your Income Tax Money Really Goes" and can be found on the organization's website, www.warresisters.org/pages/piechart.htm. As we have seen, the Pentagon's books are impossible to audit, but using publications from the Congressional Budget Office and other sources the League was able to paint a better and darker picture than one finds in most discussions of military costs." pps 387,388 'A Bubble in Time: America During the Interwar Years, 1989-2001' by William L. O'Neill

It also saw WW2 and the post-war boom years when American industry was supplying the rest of the world because American industry was the only industry not bombed flat. The end of that period coincides with German and Japanese industrial capabilities finally able to no longer need American output.

Yep. Any time somebody uses the 1950s as an example of how high tax rates generate economic success they reveal how incredibly ignorant they are about economics and history. It's kind of sad people can be so uneducated
