Sanders releases list of how to pay for his proposals

[Dave22reborn]

So cutting into a fraction of their billions of profits means they have to offload that cost to the consumer? I don't know if that's how it would play out, considering there is still competition and some I bet would be willing to offset the increased costs without inflating gas prices.

Those largely responsible, who willingly knew what they were doing should be held accountable. And we're going to hold them accountable.

Sell the middle class on why it's a good thing their taxes will increase....big time.

Lord have mercy......this sort of ignorance combined with authoritarian instincts is how countries fall. And yes, Socialism IS authoritarian

[Techriding101]

Actually the Scandanavian countries and Canada are doing very well. They're considered some of the best countries in the world. They aren't "socialist", but they're definitely what someone like you would call socialist and they closely resemble what Sanders is fighting for.

yeah but canada is full of nazi's, why would we want to be like them

Check your eligibility to move to Canada. Before you go forward with your plans to move to Canada, you should check your eligibility. You may not be allowed to immigrate for one of many reasons. These reasons include:
human or international rights violations
criminal record
health
financial reasons
misrepresentation
non-compliance with IRPA (Immigration Refugee Protection Act)
having an inadmissible family member[1]

borders are racist

So he's going to wipeout student debt, medical debt, give us free college, daycare, free healthcare for all, and abolish ICE.....sounds amazing.

Is he going to wipe out mortgage debt as well?

Not immediately.

You have to let the millennials that "can't afford" a house yet save up some money after eliminating their student loans - let them all buy a house and THEN he'll get rid of mortgages.

Cause you know, it wouldn't be fair otherwise.

[iabs]

Is Bernie the worst and most dangerous person in this country? I'd say so.

I’ve been saying this since 2016.

Do not ever estimate the ignorance of the masses that have been brainwashed to orange man bad and the sky is falling.

Along comes FREE EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE MAN and suddenly we are a shiithole.

[Exane]

How is this any different than a criminal going into a rich neighborhood and ransacking everything? Basically saying "If you are successful, I am going to steal from you at gunpoint."

[OPGenesis]

The 2.5 trillion for housing reparations always gets me lol.

You ever heard of Robin Hood, *******?

yea I didn't think you'd be able to go further than your standard talking point.

Socialism is giving power and ownership to the working class. That's why labor unions are considered a left-wing/socialist movement. That's like saying a union is authoritarian. The reality is that without a union, most big employers exhibit authoritarian behavior.

He's kind of like a modern day Robin Hood, what a hero

[scheal]

Does dopey Bernie Sanders realize that gas has a relatively inelastic demand that the gas companies will just transfer to the consumer? Poor people will be the ones who will struggle the most with $3.50 to $4.00 a gallon gas.


Do these *******s ever learn?

You mean what we pay already in Commiefornia?

Wait till it hits $5+ here and everything goes up in price from food to other essentials

But at least we can say

Orange man bad

[AltarOfPlagues]

lol he shouldnt have said anything

So what's stopping these workers from buying stock in the company again?

Then he'll just blame their greed, and shake his finger.

[JoshSP1985]

Yep, all the hopes and dreams fall apart with one simple question. How do you pay for it?

He would have been better off just lying through his teeth and ignoring anyone that tried to run the numbers until elected. Ignorance is a Democrat MO after all.

Bernie Sanders' disastrous answer on '60 Minutes'

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/24/polit...020/index.html

(CNN) - Bernie Sanders, the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was asked over the weekend how much his various plans would cost if implemented. He didn't know.

...

"Experts estimate that Sanders' major proposals would cost a staggering $60 trillion and would double the size of the government (while his tax plans fall $27 trillion short of paying for it).

There's a reason that, when pressed on the cost of his plans, Sanders simply refuses to answer, saying he actually has no idea and 'no one does.'"

^^^ Sanders doesn't know what's going on with his proposals this weekend...and now he suddenly does?

I doubt it.

[Tamorlane]

What does this have to do with anything? Are you suggesting unions are unnecessary because workers can buy stock in a company? Regardless of how ignorant that would be, do you understand stock can lose value?

[soaponarope1]

I am still not understanding the math.

So if we tax everyone and everything at 100%, we couldn't pay for Bernie's proposals. But somehow if we tax a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of some "rich people" it will pay for the proposals.


This must be the math they taught English Majors because it only makes sense in fiction.

Not just that, but tax the 'incomes' of these anonymous rich people, conveniently forgetting that people making $10m+ a year are not getting that in income, but capital gains.

In other words, not actually taxing any rich people but saying you did. Then coming for those who have traditional 'income' - the middle class.

GOO dropping truth bombs.

[BuckNakedinBama]

More people in Washington DC making huge salaries deciding how best to spend Americans' money. Sounds like a perfect world to me! Definitely doesn't invite fraud, waste, or abuse.

IIRC Bernie's "plan" is to tax capital gains as income. That shouldn't hamper investment at all.

You know he'll have DCs support. DC will always vote for the candidate they feel will expand government and keep them employed and they ALWAYS ALWAYS vote Left.

Exactly. He’s like an 8th grader running for class president just saying anything to get elected

No homework!

Pizza everyday!

3 day school weeks!

[GolfPants]

Even if we tax "the rich" at 100% of WHAT THEY HAVE, not even what they earn, it wouldn't be enough lol.

Or even close. If you confiscated 100% of the wealth of all the billionaires in America you could run the government in it's current form for about 9 months.

[JoeDelts]

I remember when politicians used to talk so casually about billions of dollars but that's so passe now. Now it's how many TRILLIONS can you promise to spend.

[vanilllalatte]

It actually isn't balanced.He is relying on MMT and hoping it works. If he gets everything he wants, our economy will crash.

[BOZZ]

So cutting into a fraction of their billions of profits means they have to offload that cost to the consumer? I don't know if that's how it would play out, considering there is still competition and some I bet would be willing to offset the increased costs without inflating gas prices.

Those largely responsible, who willingly knew what they were doing should be held accountable. And we're going to hold them accountable.

You aren't part of the WE . You're a damned Canadian that shouldn't even speak on American politics. You are even more irrelevant than the people that would end up paying for his crazy plan

[Retoaded]

So nice of foreigner OP to give away everyone else's money.

Corporations have an obligation to shareholders and investors to make as much money as possible. Their obligation isn't Bernie supporters who want a bunch of free $hit.
