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

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Just moved my truck before the street sweeper came. I avoided a $75 fine which could go into the hundreds if I forget to pay it. This is what our cities have come to. Making money to survive by going after the little guy for whatever they can get. We don't have the tax base any more from a growing middle class. Thanks Reagan.

It was Reagan's idea to implement a $75 fine for you not moving your car on street sweeper day?

I should be so lucky as to be as smart as Sanders

You got that part right, at least.

Sanders, though as confused and deluded as any leftist fanatic, is nonetheless smarter (or at least more articulate) than you.

He is a perfect example of the kind of mindset Reagan referred to in his famous statement, "It's not that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Well, go on thinking Reagan was great. I think he was mostly an ignorant man who was a good actor. This is shy was chosen to send this message of 'government is the problem' to the masses. They spent most of the 50's and 60's listening to him advertise on t.v. He was a salesman and a good one.

No. That fine is so people will move their car so the street can be swept.

Before the reagan era there were no fines like this. When he was governor he was famous for saying 'taxes should hurt'.

I say no, it's for income. Very little trash in our streets.

(patiently)

Because your policies have been destroying the middle class.

We don't have the tax base any more from a growing middle class. Thanks Reagan.

After Reagan passed his tax cuts and indexed taxes to inflation, the middle class enjoyed an increase in prosperity and wages that they hadn't seen in decades. And that increase kept going longer than any other peacetime increase in the country's history. Until a Democrat congress forced G.H.W. "No new taxes" Bush to sign new taxes into law.

Just in case you wanted a little truth injected into your constant stream of fantasies and lies.

Or even if you didn't.

The middle class hasn't had an increase in wages for decades if you factor inflation. All the gains have gone to the top. The country has gone downhill since Reagan. This isn't even bringing up the many crimes of his administration, although I think it was mostly those under him doing most of the dirty dealings. He was never very bright to begin with , and after he took the bullet, he probably slept through most of his two terms except when he was woken up to give a speech. That, he was good at.

 

[jasonnfree]

Gotta go.

 

[neither]

Let those at the bottom have their chance to make some gains.

And here's another common talking-points lie put out by liberal fanatics such as jasonnfree: That people making high wages somehow prevent people who make low wages from making any more.

Do these people ever stop lying about those they can't refute?

1% of the population own 99% of the wealth. Our monetary system is like a game of monopoly.

The only problem socialists like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have with taking away 90% of your income, is that they can't take 100% of it.

But they're working on that.

One more dishonest post from the idiot fringe. A lie by omission, or just maybe, L-A is foolish enough to believe the Democrats are taking away 90% of the income of the one percent.

Q. Can they be that foolish?

A. Hell yes!

I'm not on welfare.

Then stop supporting the party of welfare queens.

Why? It is either that or vote for Tin Foil hats that think the government is coming to get them. Though I am registered Green, and not Democrat, as if there is any chance to vote for a third party - I take it.

You can always vote for the Communist Party.

Why? You are the founding member of the GOP branch, handing out free money to corporations.

Handing out money to corporations isn't communism, numskull. Furthermore, that's a Democrat specialty. Just consider the record of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Hillary sold her ass to corporations and foreign governments.

See, they realy are that dumb.

They aren't dumb. They know Hillary did that.

They are dishonest liars. They are hoping to fool you into believing she didn't.

Democrook voters have no problem taking %90 of other people's money.

That sound you just heard was the humor in my post passing cleanly over little wry's head with room to spare. Again.

A 90% tax bracket is simply a government-imposed Maximum Wage Law.

If you make any money over a certain limit they set, they take virtually all of it.

Not much point in working harder.

As though those at that tax bracket work.

If they are going to be taxed at 90 percent, they won't.

The 90 percent tax bracket was one of the things that made Ronald Reagan a conservative. He once spoke about how he would work during the year making movies but then would stop working once he hit the 90 percent tax bracket.

That's what taxes on production do.

That is not why Reagan would stop

He would stop because he stopped getting offers

I was under the impression he stopped because Bonzo got top billing:

Bedtime for Bonzo

Another fool parrots The BIG LIE!

 

[g5000]

Democrats are not the only ones spending other people's money any more. All of America is about, "Gimme gimme gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it."

At least Sanders looks you in the eye when he steals from you. His particular defect is that he carries a much bigger sack he wants you to fill.

There is natural concentration of wealth and there is an unnatural concentration of wealth. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison used to correspond about what to do about the unnatural concentration of wealth. And one of Jefferson's solutions was to propose a progressive tax. But not to the extent of choking production to death/.

Getting rich from building a better mousetrap or making Hollywood movies is a natural concentration of wealth, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Taxing the rich more to mitigate the unnatural concentration of wealth is the simpleton's means of treating the symptoms instead of the disease.

The unnatural concentration of wealth, the tilting of the playing field, is being accomplished through government legislation. So the obvious cure is to fix or delete the legislation which is tilting the field.

If your house was being robbed on a regular basis, and the police were providing protection to the thieves, how retarded would you have to be to say, "To solve this problem, we need to tax everyone who lives in a bigger house than me more"?

You'd have to be as retarded as Bernie Sanders.

Q. When the Supreme Court tilts the elections in favor of unnatural wealth, how is it possible to fix the law when law makers have become beholden to a power elite?
