Sen. Bernie Sanders Says U.S. Should Look More Like Scandinavia

I have the perfect solution which will make everyone happy:



Bernie and his supporters should move to Scandinavia.

 

[g5000]

Sanders said the fairest way to reduce wealth inequality, lower the $17 trillion national debt and pay for investments in infrastructure, education and other neglected national priorities would be to enact a progressive estate tax on the wealthiest Americans, the top 0.25 percent.

Under his proposal, 99.75 percent of Americans would not pay a penny more in estate taxes. For those who would pay more, the tax rate on estates valued from $3.5 million to $10 million would be 40 percent. There would be a 50 percent tax on estates worth $10 million to $50 million and a 55 percent levy on estates worth more than $50 million. A 10 percent surtax would be applied on estates worth more than $1 billion, a category that today includes fewer than 500 American families.

You are the Sanders supporter. You snidely commented no one knows anything about him and that they would learn. You kicked that door wide open.

So now is your chance to teach. Answer the questions.

I ask them of all the supporters of candidates, and so far NONE of them have answered a single one, which indicates they don't know shit about the people they are supporting.

You can ignore 13 to 15. They are intended to expose the hypocrisy of those who moan and wail about Obama on superficial matters. As I said, I ask these of everyone who opens their mouths in support of this or that candidate. I am not singling you out, but you did open that door and so now you must walk through it.

Go ahead and take a crack at the first dozen. Show us you know all about Sanders.

You could visit his website or see interviews hes done if you actually cared. Not our job to educate someone who is willfully ignorant.

So you don't know.

These should be a piece of cake.

Feel free to link to the Sanders pages which answer these questions.

Outside of sanctions that would come via diplomatic measures. That should be obvious. The other end of the spectrum is war.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how the shit ton of additional spending programs in that link will balance the budget and pay down the debt.

But I will give you kudos for at least attempting to answer the question. You've already done more than every other person I have asked these questions of combined.

He said freezing Russians’ assets was one possible recourse. “There are a number of things that you could do. But this is what you don't do: You don't go to war. You don't sacrifice lives of young people in this country as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Yeah, quote mine more.

Sanctions are the first course of action of every single President and candidate ever. It is the least original response there is.

We need to know what else he would do.

 

[JoshuaZ]

Now of course a lot of you cons oppose Sanders simply because he is a socialist democrat. But very few of you even know what issues he actually stands for.

He is taking on income inequality, Citizens United, and climate change. Three of the most pressing issues this country is currently facing. You know, the things republicans will NEVER try to fix.

Watch this video and become informed on actual, honest to god facts and statistics that support what he stands for.

How many facts are presented by Bernie in this video?

Expansion of social security
Sanders Files Bill to Strengthen Expand Social Security - Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont

Okay. This specifically answers my question about Social Security. Thank you very much.

“The most effective way to strengthen Social Security for the future is to eliminate the cap on the payroll tax on all income above $250,000 so millionaires and billionaires pay the same share as everyone else.”

The legislation would subject all income over $250,000 to the payroll tax. Doing so would impact only the top 1.5 percent of wage earners, the Center for Economic Policy Research has estimated.

The bill also would subject unearned household income above $250,000 to the same 6.2 percent tax as applies to most earned income. The top 0.1 percent of Americans gets about half of all capital gains income.

The bill would:

• Increase Social Security benefits by about $65 a month for most recipients.
• Increase cost-of-living Adjustments for Social Security recipients.
• Provide a minimum Social Security benefit to significantly reduce the senior poverty rate.

Sen. Bernie Sanders Says U.S. Should Look More Like Scandinavia

Why Sweden Denmark and Norway Have High Taxes and Still Show Up to Work - US News

American progressives are mistaken to think the Scandinavian model is an argument for high taxes and subsidies.

The good professor finds three quantifiable reasons that may explain why taxes in Scandinavia are high, yet the incentives to be productive remain. The first is third-party verification of taxable income. There is a lot of that in Scandinavia, but even so Scandinavia remains an outlier. The second one only seems to apply to Denmark: It has a clean and transparent tax system, without many loopholes and deductions. This keeps people from sheltering their income. It also keeps high-income foreigners from coming to or staying in your country. (Native Danes, in contrast,seem to be quite attached to their homeland.) Third, the Scandinavian countries subsidize a lot of things that are complementary to work – such as education, child care, elder care and transportation – thereby compensating for their high taxes. Here again, they are outliers.

Break up the big banks
Sanders Stand Up to Wall Street Break Up Big Banks - Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont

This answers question 10.

A long-time advocate of legislation to break up the biggest Wall Street banks, Sanders soon will reintroduce legislation to break up the biggest Wall Street banks.

The legislation would give the Treasury Department 90 days to identify commercial banks, investment banks, hedge funds and insurance companies whose “failure would have a catastrophic effect on the stability of either the financial system or the United States economy without substantial government assistance.”
