The rich on one side and everyone else on the other. Despicable.
A leader leads everyone, including the wealthy to do the right thing.
Bernie throws away the wealthy. As if being rich disqualifies you from being American.
Oh the poor dears, being thrown away like so much trash.
Income and wealth inequality is not a new concept to democrats or democratic candidates. Why is it now that you see it as the rich being cast aside?
On the Issues: Income and Wealth Inequality
- Demanding that the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share in taxes. As president, Sen. Sanders will stop corporations from shifting their profits and jobs overseas to avoid paying U.S. income taxes. He will create a progressive estate tax on the top 0.3 percent of Americans who inherit more than $3.5 million. He will also enact a tax on Wall Street speculators who caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, homes, and life savings.
Remind us again why you consider yourself liberal.
I am a liberal.
Privately owned companies can take their business where ever they want. How can you not know that?
And we don't control what they make overseas. They don't pay taxes on it until they bring it back into this country.
I have no problem with taxing wealth transfer. It's a gift to the person receiving it, not earned.
Enacting a tax on Wall Street speculation will lead to those jobs also moving overseas. It's GOP deregulation that caused Americans to lose their jobs, homes and life savings. The problem is the accumulation of debt. And that happens in surprisingly few ways which is why good regulation is effective. When Republicans cry for government to get out of the way of business, they are being shills for business. They know the damage it would cause but clearly, they just don't care.
Bernie is in the top 6% of wage earners. Course, the $40,000.00 he gets from Social Security puts him over the top.
