He's a commie...and that system never worked...
Bernie Sanders' 100% Tax: "Nobody Should Earn More Than $1 Million"
“Make it illegal to amass more wealth than a human family could use in a lifetime.”

Here in the People's Republic of New York, the streets are covered with crazed Bernie Sanders stickers promising a glorious Socialist utopia in which no one, except taxpayers, will ever have to work again.
Sanders apologists claim that he's a moderate Swedish Socialist, not one of those crazy Communist or Nazi guys. But his history suggests that he's redder than a fire engine. And we're not just talking about his flirtation with Communist countries, but Communist ideas.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders distanced himself from the Eisenhower-era top marginal tax rate of 90 percent during last week’s Democratic presidential debate, but as he prepares to detail his support of democratic socialism in a major speech Thursday, documents from his past show him supporting an even higher rate of taxation on the nation's highest earners.
In several articles dating back to the early 1970s, Sanders is described as supporting a top marginal tax of 100 percent for high earners or the establishment of a maximum wage...
In a 1974 article titled “Concentrated Wealth Is Causing Economic Illness,” from an unidentified newspaper that was in his papers at the University of Vermont library, Sanders is described as wanting to “make it illegal to amass more wealth than a human family could use in a lifetime.” He would do that, the article said, with “a 100 percent tax on incomes above this level ($ one million per year)” and “would recycle this money for the public need.”
Who decides what a family can use in a lifetime? What happens when the father of the family loses his job and there aren't enough savings past a few years because some Socialist decided that he was earning too much money before?
Not Bernie Sanders' problem. But then Bernie hasn't exactly specialized in working for a living. He did make good money collecting unemployment. He peddled Socialist film strips and then got himself elected and has been living off taxpayers ever since.
...
To make a minimum wage viable, you need a maximum wage. Then you need wage controls all across the board. Devastate the middle class, wipe out a ton of jobs and then start rationing food. It's the glorious Socialist experiment all over again.
