Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
