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

[NYcarbineer]

What are the consequences of repealing SS and Medicare? Those who advocate such extreme measure seem to fail to understand the cost-deficit such an action will produce.

Red Herring.
Please list and quote the gov't officials who advocate such a thing.

So your contention is that even conservative politicians in America have accepted the socialist SS and Medicare programs?

Taxes should reflect an equal burden on all Americans to pay for the services the government has to do.

That would make taxes a flat fee not a percentage.

So....everyone would pay the same rate.......and the rich would still pay more for you greedy, jealous left wing types....

 

[SAYIT]

Let's face it.....90% still isn't enough...they want complete control by the government.....

They do? Maybe the net income, after taxes with zero deductions, ought to be expressed, not percentages. Misleading by omission is still dishonest, but maybe some of you whiners don't understand how a progressive income tax works...

You continue to dodge the obvious question raised by your socialist braying: the top 20% of American earners are already carrying 80% of our personal federal income tax load. What would satisfy you? 90%? 100%? 110?

No....they want to save people from those systems........

So you concede that the rich should pay more. Now we're just debating how much more?

The other poster said no politicians want to end them. Go argue with him.

SS and Medicare are federally mandated INSURANCE policies which are directly funded by the beneficiaries ... American workers. They are not socialist programs. Please list and quote the gov't officials who advocate ending either.

That has always been the question that none of you socialists seem willing to answer: the top 20% of American earners are already carrying 80% of our personal federal income tax load. What would satisfy you? 90%? 100%? 110?

Libtard greed is endless.

They don't want to pay any of the trillion dollars a year in income tax themselves but they want "the rich" to pay even more so they can get a bigger welfare check. Simple Liberal greed.

The bottom 90% would love to pay more taxes but most of the gains in income go to those at the top.

I don't know where you came with with that crap.

Nobody wants to pay more taxes.

If the bottom would stop voting for Liberals that screw up the economy then there would be more jobs and everybody would be better off.

The best way for a person to get out of poverty is to not vote for Liberals that have no idea how to stimulate capitalism so the economy will grow.

Instead the dumbass asses vote for Liberals that have this silly idea that redistribution of money somehow creates wealth rather than stimulating capitalism and then the dumbasses wonder why there are no jobs.

The top earning 20% earn 50% of America's income and carry more than 80% of our personal federal income tax burden. What would satisfy you? 90%? 100? 110%? As Wry Catcher noted, "stupid people don't usually have high paying jobs." Maybe those earning big bucks do so because they are not "stupid." Would America be better served by placing our wealth in the hands of the "stupid?"

How much higher does the red line on that chart have to be before you're satisfied?
btw, you might have bothered to note that the income in the chart is AFTER-TAX income. lol

Once again you dodge the question and we both know why: the top earning 20% earn 50% of America's income and carry more than 80% of our personal federal income tax burden. What would satisfy you? 90%? 100? 110%?

They just make that kind of crap up as they go along. Certainly no one in their right mind wants to pay more taxes and the loons that do are free to contribute their "extra wealth" to any of many worthy charities. Problem solved! Isn't America grand!

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

Funny how REPUBLICAN presidents used to have no problem making super rich pay their due....now its THEFFFFTTTT and SOCIALLLISSSSMMMM

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

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.

I just love when Marxists bring up the 80% income tax rates of the 1950s as "proof" that high taxes result in prosperity. It shows how ignorant and uneducated you are when it comes to economics.

Actually, the rate was 92% as I recall. I love it when people who have no actual argument just resort to applying labels.

I don't need an argument. I simply understand economics and you don't. It's really that simple. By the way, nobody ever paid 92%.

It always has been regardless of who was perpetrating it. The idea of soaking the rich is based on nothing more than envy, jealousy, and greed.

DAMN EISENHOWER! He must have been a closet commie! Eh GOP'ers!

You didn't mention that those abused rich folk paying 68% of the personal tax load are making 85% of the nation's personal income. Why are they not paying their 85%?

Because the top 10% does not earn 85% of America's income. In fact, the top 20% earns 49.98%, of all income in the US but pays over 80% of the personal federal income tax burden. If you are going to sell your pathetic class war the least you can do is try to refrain from LYING.
Thank you.

In fact the top 10% doesn't earn income, they get their money from the labor of others and or moving other peoples money around.

Ignoring your ever-present ignorance, the top 10% of America's earners carry 68% of the total personal federal tax load. Pretty significant for those you claim don't earn any income.

The bottom 90% would love to pay more taxes but most of the gains in income go to those at the top.

No shit. In 1979 the top rate was 70%. Today it's 39%. A third grader could understand that.

Fair share you say? The top earning 20% earn 50% of America's income and carry more than 80% of our personal federal income tax burden. What would satisfy you? 90%? 100? 110%?

No its not. Thanks for playing. Keeping the super rich in their place makes sure what has happened DOESN'T happen...allowing them to buy candidates etc.
