that’s a good start for members of congress and the senate.
Confiscate everything over:
2 million for movie stars;
5 million for singers, actors, etc. ;
5 million for basketball players;
2,000 for football players who kneel for the National Anthem;
1/2 million for senators:
1/4 million for representatives:
200,000 for ex politicians;
...
Well if the billionaires just used their money to sail away on their yachts that would ne one thing. But instead they use their wealth to further corrupt our government for their own interests. So go ahead and take away their money, they deserve it. Too much power in the hands of the few and they’ve totally corrupted our system with their wealth.
We’ve seen so much the the U.S.S.R. rulings in the last two years it’s not unexpected.
We should take all money from politicians above a politician’s salary. It is nothing but illegal bribes.
So this old coot doesn't even like the tax cuts by Saint JFK the Martyr, when the top rates were dropped from 91% to 70%?
Exactly my thought. He chose a number much, much higher than his own personal wealth so that his fortune won’t be the one confiscated “for the greater good”.
It reminds me of a tv actress who called for the confiscation of wealth of anyone who was worth 100 million or more. Her net worth? 80 million dollars.
CLEAN ALL ILLEGALS OUT & BUILD A WALL—A DOUBLE WALL IF NECESSARY.
Bernie needs to explain HOW he has 3 very large properties-—and he never held a real job in his ENTIRE LIFE.
A serious AUDIT if his financials need to be done.
Interesting - could work.
What a fool. 🙄

“Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase ones taxes. “ Learned Hand
Bernie - They shalt not envy they neighbors wealth. Envy is very unattractive and it leads to hatred.
Socialism is simply a very complex justification for simple theft. And that’s call Bernie and his bros are. Common thieves.
He pretends the government will do less evil with the money than the previous owners.
It’s not about people making it when you have a billion dollars, it’s about what they can do to shape the future for the species. Sanders doesn’t understand. I am sure he hasn’t been walking the walk during his political career.
Willie; why do you rob banks?
Because that’s where the money is.
Yes, it'll encourage a few of the multi billionaires to get together and purchase a couple of little countries, then take turns ruling them.
There are (so far) 6 new ratings updates for today, Tuesday May 2.
‘That’s all you’re after and that is the length of your range. A month? You’d settle for a week—on the unchallenged absolute that there will always be another victim to find. But you’ve found your last victim—the one who refuses to play his historical part. The game is up, brother.” — John Galt, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
