Bernie Sanders' 100% Tax:

[Arianrhod]

From the debates, the best I could gather is he is thinking about 60 or 70%.

Best thing to do would be to read the issue statements on his site:

Issues - Bernie Sanders

It certainly won't be 60-70% on the middle class. The entire economic goal of his campaign is to eliminate the inequities that have been sucking the middle class dry.

That stupid "90%, 100%...he wants to take everything" meme is strictly a Trumpism. Amazing how many people think it makes sense.

does that mention his tax rate?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you actually clicked the link and say he's as specific as any candidate at this stage.

Unless you're an idiot, you don't announce a specific tax rate table at this stage of your campaign. You consult with economists and you, for instance, discuss how you'll pay for your education plan. On that, Sanders is specific, and I'll be happy to walk you through it.

Thinking you can just announce a number without knowing the situation on the ground the day you take office is pandering. "Flat tax" is a good one. "Disband the IRS and raise the sales tax" is another.

What's your candidate's proposed tax plan?

He is plenty specific. So is his rhetoric.
They are pretty specific with theirs, actually. Well... some lol. And I think that's a good thing. Plenty of time for debate. Actually having a plan isn't pandering I wouldn't think.. Saying you are going to give out all this free shit and not say what you are going to tax the people, is.
I don't have a candidate yet. IDK if I will.

The "free shit" is just a buzz phrase feeding off Trumpism. None of his Biggest Fans know or care how he intends to pay for the Trump Wall. More casinos, I guess.

Sanders is an irrelevant crackpot.

And Trump is the Great White Hope.

But your peers here have already declared him the winner, so you can sleep in on 11/8/15.

He is relevant. Socialism will gain ground unless we get some politicians that will actually try and fix shit. Their rhetoric is getting old, and his isn't. Americans are lazy. Remember that.
If things don't change and we continue to let the Establishment run its course, I could see a socialist in 2020.

Trump will most likely be the GOP nominee. If he is, he'll crush the cankled cuckquean. . She'll lose all 57 states.....

The only thing that is, is what it is. Free shit. I understand his game about, to sum it up "revenge against the corrupt rich" but not all fo those people took advantage of us. And I think the tax rate I mentioned, (which could very well be it and you know it) is bullshit for them.
Trump is pretty specific on his tax and trade policies. At least good enough for this stage in the campaign. He lacks in other areas though. But like I have said, I think he could appoint a DAMN GOOD administration. And that matters just as much IF you are willing to listen. And I think he has that gift, too.

 

[G.T.]

There are zero good candidates running for President.

 

[leftwinger]

I think the rich should be taxed around 40%.

Please define rich in SF NY vs. Little Rock. Is this 40% FED income tax? Capital Gains? Inheritance? Lottery?
Do I still get to write off my 2nd 3rd home mortgage from CA FLA? What about 72000 pages of tax tricks? do I still pay 1-2% property tax on my million dollar homes?

 

[TNHarley]

I think a lot of them have some good qualities/ideas to them, but none have my support.
The sad thing is, it only seems to get worse. Something has to happen soon.
You can say Trump isn't worth a literal shit but there is one thing you have to admit... he has shown people they are getting tired of the corrupt corporatists. Even Bernie for that matter.

As I say, you hold that thought until 11/8/15. Tell your friends, too.

"Revenge" is emotional rhetoric, nothing more. The very fact that the big OUTRAGE in this thread is not about a candidate's record, but about a sentence in a 40+-year-old paper, is an example.

You're at least able to rationally present the case for Trump, as I'm confident you will for whichever candidate you choose. What other voters need to understand is that this is far more convincing of the value of a candidate than a lot of invective and misdirection. :shrug:

You've pinpointed the inequities in the current system exactly.

That's basically how he put it. Trust me, I have been paying attention. I am following all of them. Except the shrillery. That corrupt bitch could solve world hunger and I still wouldn't trust her. lol
I do agree about the outrage but people are going to bring up peoples past. Not that I remember THIS OP pointing that out.. maybe he did.

Sanders' Platform : Free. Free! FREE!!
Hillary's Platform: Me. Me! ME!!!

Today is 11/20/2015... what's your point?

 

[Skull Pilot]

I believe someone should make as much money as possible, BUT I believe people should pay taxes.

They should pay taxes for the roads they drive on, schools they send their kids too and regulations that protect their food, water and air.

If they don't then they're a bum.

I think the rich should be taxed around 40%.

How do you feel about the nearly 50% of all earners who pay no income tax at all?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It's amazing how gullible some people are...

Obama proves it

That it sometimes takes me until mid-February to stop writing the year before?

How do you feel about the nearly 50% of all earners who pay no income tax at all?

They don't have accounts in the Caymans.

I love this RW rationale. "Let's collect the loose change in poor people's couch cushions because poor people suck!"

As opposed to "Follow the money." As in, after you join us in collecting taxes from the corporations that pay -0-, then you can go around seizing poor kids' piggy banks, mmkay?

No one should get a pass on taxes

If there is a tax on income then everyone should pay it.
