Washington Post Fact-Checks CNBC Debate. It's not pretty.

[Synthaholic]

The whole bunch of them are liars.


Fact-checking the third round of GOP debates

Just a taste of the lies that fall so easily from Republican lips:



“The socialist [Sen. Bernie Sanders] says they’re going to pay for everything and give you everything for free, except they don’t say they’re going to raise it through taxes to 90 percent to do it.”

— Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.)

This is false, though it has increasingly emerged as a GOP talking point. Sanders, an independent from Vermont who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, has not yet released a tax plan, but has repeatedly denied that he would increase taxes from the current marginal rate of 39.6 percent to 90 percent. (The margin rate is what you pay on each additional dollar earned.)

The United States had a marginal tax rate of 90 percent in the Dwight Eisenhower administration, and then John F. Kennedy proposed to reduce it to 70 percent. (The tax cut was passed after his assassination.) But even such rates would not take 90 percent of a person’s income.

Yeah, this whole thing played out heavily on the CNBC side for "truthiness", as Stephen Colbert would say.
I mean, what the mod said about Rubio is from his own book and the Zuckerberg thing with Trump came from Trump's own website, for starters.

Why doesn't he release a tax plan then? Many of the Repubs have. What is Burn Me Sanders hiding?

Megan Kelly must be feeling pretty good about herself now. I guess Trump was the only one pissed off during that first debate.

Nothing. It's easy enough to Google. This is why my sig says "Don't Read to Me"
I doubt you've ever listened to one of his speeches, either.

I simply took the OP's article at face value. The article stated that Burn Me had not released a tax plan. The Op is faulty then.

This thread is about CNBC's facts being checked for the last GOP debate, not about Hillary. I see you have a comprehension deficit, too.

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Carson tried to disown Mannatech.
Rubio tried to disown his autobiography.
Trump tried to disown his own website.
Christie lied about Bernie Sanders.

“92 percent of the jobs lost during Barack Obama’s first term belonged to women.”
— Former business executive Carly Fiorina

"""Fiorina, who served as a surrogate for Mitt Romney’s during his 2012 presidential run, recycles a misleading talking point from that unsuccessful campaign — but oddly, she never double-checked the math. The Romney campaign calculated these figures by comparing the decline in the number of all nonfarm employees from January 2009 to March 2012 with the decline in jobs held by women in that period.

While the statistic was technically correct for one month in 2012 — about three years into Obama’s first term — it quickly was dropped by Romney’s campaign because newer economic data made it obsolete."""

[Mike473]

What tax rate would be needed to pay for all of Sanders programs without heavily borrowing money? That is a fair question. The middle class will have to pick up a big portion of the bill. How much will it cost?
