Hmmm....isn’t that the “Soul Train” font from the 70’s. If so, interesting choice with the BLM in play at the moment. You’d think they (blacks) wouldn’t want to be stigmatized with thoughts of huge Afros, elevator shoes, bellbottom pants, and the funky chicken and booty bop style dancing.

Wonder if all these college kids that support Bernie think they will never get a job anyway. I thought those college bound did so to get a high paying job. Guess they fail to see that Bernie will tax them into poverty.

Sander Claus
would cost me another $4500 a year
so that under-qualified brats could go to a 4-year re-education camp for “free” to major in Gender studies, Political correctness and 3-day weekend partying.

No thanks

The idiots who take to government have NEVER tired of finding ways to confiscate your money and flush it down the toilet.

It’s NEVER enough with them.

The figures are based on Bernie’s estimates. They aren’t an honest assessment IMHO. They also don’t take into account the economic decline that the tax hikes will cause. The federal government currently borrows 40% of what it spends and Bernie’s plan would double federal spending.

I predict that:

1. Bernie won’t get elected
2. If Bernie gets elected he’ll be handcuffed by Congress
3. If Congress rolls over and goes along with his proposals he’ll collapse the whole economy. Businesses will fail due to over-regulation and taxes. Corporations will flee the country, as will the rich. Government will take over the energy, education, and medical businesses.

An additional 2.2 percent on both income tax and interest.
Could live with it.

You suck 13 TRILLION out of an economy in 10 years and there is no economy to speak of.

I have enough work to hire a few employees which I’ve done in past companies. The government already makes that unattractive in many ways. I have one job right now where I could replace about 5 H1B contractors with 3 of my contractors. I’ve been going back and forth for 6 months on if it’s worth it but so far haven’t.

Bernie’s tax rates even more unattractive. If I had 2-3 employees he’d be taking 40% of every dollar I make off them. It’s already hard enough to explain how I charge the client $X/hour and the employee gets $(X-Y)/hour. They think my profit is Y and don’t understand their FICA and “my” FICA and UI and other costs come out of Y. And then the government is going to take at least 1/3 of my profit. So even though $Y looks big to them I’m not able to buy Ferrari - I can cover the cost of gas & insurance for my 2001 mini-van. I could double Y (like my competitors) and make more but then I feel guilty and also frustrated with how much the government takes every month. That was worth it to me 10 years ago but now I just want some income until I retire.

Anyone who wants to reduce H1Bs should
1) Make it easier for people like me to hire US citizens AND to profit from it
2) Teach kids how taxes work (FICA matching is NOT paid from employer profits - employees would get more without it in most large and small companies.)
3) Teach kids a work ethic. Most are good. But it’s risky hiring a new grad. They’re often brilliant and want to learn and do the job. Some are “brilliant” and “know better” than everyone else and have “more important things to do” than deliver on time.

From the article:

The obvious benefit of Sanders' tax reform is that it would help eliminate what's been a fairly large federal budget deficit in Washington since the recession.

Whoever did the analysis for them is smoking milkweed. FedGov has no intention or history of living within its means. A $10T windfall will mean $20T of new spending.

I also find the implied guilt of Bush interesting - why did they not align the economic malaise sandwich with Obama's reign of error?
