    Alright. I see it.

    Pretty sure his tax hike in “millionaires and billionaires” was in the context of income tax, not in the context of someone who saved 100k a year over 10 years.

    So, I’ll say you sound selfish, greedy, and like you want to make the rich richer, the poor poorer, you want the masses uneducated, and you want the poor to die of easily treatable medical conditions.

    But yes. On prompt “what does tax the millionaires and billionaires”, i dont know the deets.

    And your hatred for a model of equal distribution of wealth doesn’t earn you any points with me.

      It was certainly in the context of income tax but the people he would need to pay that would have to be those making the 100k a year middle class. Just lots of them may have a few million in assets but that is his idea of the wealthy and who will pay for it. The middle class is by far the biggest tax base and there is no way to increase spending by that amount without going after them. And he knows it.

      Bernie is just great at suggesting all kinds of spending which is really easy to do when you know you will never have to account for it. The guy praised Chavez for fuck sakes. Chavez who destroyed Venezuela which is now the poorest and most dangerous country in the Americas. And we are suppose to think he understands economics?

      You really to really want to fuck over the poor, lets follow the ideas of a guy that wanted the US to follow the model of Venezuela. Good dam you are greedy.
