The richest have a 16% effective tax rate- Clinton to go for the Buffett rule- 30%. TY Dems

Don't make me laugh.

From the time she walked out the WH with furniture....she's been a real loser.

I don't get into the hype.....I know a liar when I see one.

Proven time and time again.

Stupid, malevolent gossip/propaganda. IRRELEVANT And mainly FALSE. Read something. POLICY. Ay caramba. But stick with Bernie, ya nut lol.

Nope....it's all out there.

And very relevant.

Her policy is nothing but more of Bush/Obama. We've had sixteen years of crap. Four more if we get Hillary.

Bush and Obama are as far apart as we've ever had. Bernie would be farther lol...I'd love it.

Yep, the left is going further left. Their second place contender (and first place in some areas) is an admitted Socialist. Your current President was supported by the US Communist party both elections. You can't get much farther left than that.

On the right, the party is torn between the establishment and the Tea Party people. The TP is pushing more to the right because they are constitutionalists.

I don't find anyone in the Republican field who I feel really cares about people.

We have significant issues with income disparity. That is a fact. I don't think government can solve it directly. But they can solve it indirectly.

No, there is really nothing that can be done about that.

We all transfer our wealth to the top. You are going to do it sometime this week and so am I. We are going to buy that new Microsoft program, pay our cell phone or cable bill, get gasoline for our car, stop at a fast food restaurant for dinner or lunch, but we are all going to do it.

In return for transferring our wealth to the top, we will be provided with products and services that make our life so much easier and enjoyable. We just about beg these millionaires and billionaires to take our money. Why should government stop that?

And if there are any problems those billionaires blame workers. They are "takers" and are the reason for struggles. Unions are somehow bad and worki g for lower wages is good. And dummies buy this garbage. They will blame themselves for economic struggles while the billiinaires laugh at them and control the legislative process to keep chiselling away at workers. Americans arent smart enough to figure it out. Until they do the rich will become richer and the average worker will continue to lose ground. I blame both parties. They all are a part of it. Bernie is of no threat because he speaks out for working class people struggling to get by. Those in control will never allow him to even sniff the white house.

Clinton Says January Tax Proposals Will 'Go Beyond' Buffett Rule

Another unknown fact with the tidal wave of GOP BS propaganda from the nutjob big money right, and nothing from the cowardly corporate media...our media is bought off and pathetic.

Everyone is now paying 20-30% in all taxes and fees, killing the nonrich and demand for product, and leaving too little to re-invest in America. Shortsighted, idiotic, misinformed Reaganism marches on. see sig.

When are Democrats going to help the Middle Class stop paying for wasteful spending such as subsidizing NPR and PBS?

When is the gop going to stop bashing unions?

Bernie's a Socialist for crying out loud. He wants to take most all of the money from the wealthy, many of whom are our job creators. He might as well make a law that anybody worth over 10 mil has to leave the country.

I believe social security is a good thing. Millions need it to survive. Try taking it away. See where it gets you. If that makes me a communist, then I am proud to be one. America is becoming the land of Walmart jobs...$12 an hour. Some think that is actually a good wage. Once as, medicare, medicaid are gone, this turns into a full blown plutocracy. And its headed that way. And some working poor want it this way...blinded by something.

Things are swinging full bore for management and full bore against working class people.

Thanks for the bs Pub spam, brainwashed functional MORON> Change the channel, dupe.

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

But the population has increased by 100 million..or one quarter to on third more than what it once was...

That's an excuse. It's a pitiful excuse, but an excuse.

The biggest loss to the middle class was in real estate...the next would be corporate shunning of US workers for cheaper foreign workers, same thing they did to the lowest rung of labor with illegals.....
The top to the bottom has dirty hands in this affair to increase revenues of the wealthy.......

 

[80zephyr]

WTF is wrong with you, party first dupe. Change the channel and return to planet earth. No infrastructure bank, no raise in min wage etc is just stupid.

I don't belong to a party....so which one is first.

Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and live in the real world.

Government just said raising the min wage won't do anything.

We need real solutions which means putting in good leaders.

Except for Bernie Sanders....there are none.

Or any Dem. Have you heard of POLICY that's good for the country. Dem now and always. Pubs are snake oil salesmen.

Can you make any sense ?

Dems are just as crooked as the GOP.

Pub policy is thievery for the rich. POLICY. What Dem thievery? They vote against lobbyism and big money, nowhere NEAR the Pub crony thievery. Did you notice the corrupt W WORLD DEPRESSION? The S+L scandal? THE CORRUPT GREAT DEPRESSION? Grant? lol Harding? What Dem thievery?

Plenty.

Dems voted for the war. Diane Feinstein's husband got rich off of it.

Harry Ried makes tons on shady land deals.

The dems vote against lobbyism.......liar. Hillary loves lobbyists. Obama said he'd never have one and he hired tons.

The recession never bothered me. Nor my cousins in the south where they make cars and didn't have to be bailed out.

Demo thievery takes the form of food stamps and all the corporate giveaways as a result . People need help.....but that money is making it's way into the hands of the already rich.

HIllary and Bill get how much for speaking ?

Can you open your tiny little mind ?

Some just don't get it. How can a congressman be a millionaire after "serving" the country on a hundred grand a year? the Dems are the mirror image of the Gop.

Both are thieves.

Yep. Both parties want free trade and immigration. "Raise all boats", they claim. When in fact these policies actually lower all boats.

So if Hillary increases the tax rates on corporations, they move their home offices and find the loopholes they a.ways have found. This is the rhetoric the left continually uses and yet does nothing when they get into office.

BS. Reid never found guilty of anything, just malicious Pubcrappe for the dupes. PUB thievery is in their POLICY, pander to the rich and screw the workers, customers, and environment, hater dupe lol.

Feeding the hungry is thievery? BS! Thanks for the corrupt Pub World Depression, chump.
