Socialist Bernie Sanders Proposes 60 % Wealth Tax On Billionaires To Fund Healthcare For One Year

Well all I can to say to you like minded, individualistic, entrepueneurialistic individuals making less than that (private companies et all.) - just wait for it... We / (our small businesses) are going to be hit next ~ as if we haven't been hit already, imho... (not that I lend much credence, in general to anything that Bernie proposes)... lol It is consistent, however, w/ an overall trajectory.

I hearken back to the recounting of the "olden days" in the US (WW 2 gen & back)... where gumption, sticktoitiveness & foresight were them main ingredients to ~ living the American dream...Alas, those days are gone - gone - gone!

These nutty commies are always so generous with other peoples money.

 

Yeah? And, so what?

Anybody can "propose" anything in the Senate.

Sanders could "propose" that there were 8 Days in the Week, and it would have about the same chance of actually becoming law. NONE.

Sanders "proposal" is obviously DOA in the Republican Senate.

And, beyond that, there isn't anything more to say about such an unrealistic "proposal" that is DOA.

 

We are talking about future - agenda driven ideologies, lol... Just like the promise from your side of the political spectrum... "we're not coming for anyone's guns".. What a selective / revisionist memory that some seem to have... (anyone from CT, IL, NY - having turned in their guns / living in "rebellion" etc. care to chime in on the last facet...?)

 

As opposed to Trump who has raised the debt double in 4 years what Obama did in 8 years?
The only difference between Republicans and Democrats is that one taxes and spends and the other borrows and spends.
Republicans are taking money from everyone's grandkids to pay for the wealthy tax cuts now.

It's bull crap to claim anything different.

 

Considering he's an influential taste-maker for the radicalist Justice Democrats (aka American Marxists) group I'd say the things he proposes deserve their due attention as they mirror the things these radicals run on to get elected. They are growing their power base and this is a preview of what it would look like if they took control.

 

I will take my chances.

Anything would be better than the Trump Trainwreck.

 

Check and see what the HIGHEST TAX RATE WAS IN THE 1950's Under IKE a REPUBLICAN. When we began building our now decaying infrastructure, our Interstate highways now falling apart because we don't have the money to maintain them. IKE believed in pay as you go, not put it on the credit card, like Dirty Donald does!!!

 

You want to have a "Purse Strings" debate between political parties... That might be interesting / telling... BTW, who is (fortuitously & thankfully) stalling the massive trillions of 'funny money' from being, yet again, dumped into this economy?

 

Yes, Republican pols tend to do things that voters find very repulsive.
If they did not do that the DP would have been swept permanently into the ash bin of history during Reconstruction. Alas

 

Sanders is one of Biden’s top economic cnn advisors. A vote for Joe is a vote for higher taxes

 

16.9 percent was the effective tax rate of the 50s.

Ike’s admin was littered with recessions...leaving a big one for john kennedy who first cut taxes drastically to help get us out of the recession

 

That kind of thinking is what makes the Left so dangerous.

"Democrats, as exemplified by Bill Maher, host of the HBO show Real Time, said he is "hoping" for the economy to crash and the country to enter a recession so we can "get rid of Trump." Maher said, "Can I ask about the economy because this economy is going pretty well? I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point. And by the way, I'm hoping for it. Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either root for a recession or you lose your democracy."

[QUOTE="Daniel Light, post: 1071942932, member: 68016"]As opposed to Trump who has raised the debt double in 4 years what Obama did in 8 years?

& who... / what entities in Congress are trying to balloon spending even more?

I can help you out by explaining the details to you, but I think you know the answer...

 

How is this relevant to anything? Bernie isn't even the nominee, much less the president. He has no power to make this happen.

Sheesh. Some people seem to look for things to worry about. Get a grip.

 

Both parties tax, borrow and spend.
Proof: Trump cannot spend a dime that the House DP party bosses do not appropriate.

 

What was the tax rates around WWII?
Just curious how they compare to today since those days were living the American dream...

 

Bee ess. He steals from the military to pay for the border wall, and congress does nothing. He absconds with money from the Social Security trust to pay for who knows what.

He can issue EOs and spend wherever he wants. It is up to congress to stop him, something they can't do as long as the GOP and Moscow Mitch have a stranglehold on oversight processes.

 

Whee will the disheveled Muppet Sanders go for money when there are no more rich people? He is a complete moron with no grip on reality.

 

i don’t think many americans living throw FDR dust bowl of a great depression thought it was the american dream

 

huh? the senate can’t control how the house conducts oversight

what money did he take from SS?

and the border wall is about defense

 

So Berni Sanders had / has "no" impact on this race... his loyal backers? & Biden hasn't taken consideration of a 'far left constituency backing Bernie Sanders'... Yehh right, (on 'paper' I suppose you are right, lol...

 

Gateway? For real?

Tell us, does Bernie have the power to do anything he says? When he is elected President get back to us

 

First of all, many of the democrat donors are billionaires and I imagine their donations will dry up if Sanders continues with his insane ideas.

Second, people are leaving high tax states in droves, so what's to stop billionaires from moving out of the country?

Third, if liberal billionaires who intend to vote for Biden agree with this tax plan, then why don't they just donate their 60% now rather than wait for the government to force them to write a check?

 

How is Sanders going to implement anything he says? Ain't no billionaires losing sleep over what Bernie says

People aren't leaving any States in droves, yes, some larger States are decreasing in population, but it isn't in droves nor necessarily because of taxes, well, unless you count the snowbirds, who spend most of their time in the States they exited

And if you want those seeing the logic of a higher tax to just donate now, why don't those on the right who talk up the military so much just drop everything and go enlist
