Sanders Makes a Rare Pitch: More Taxes for More Government

New York Times ^

[Repeal The 17th]

Do you know that you have a foul way of addressing people?
Don’t bother with replying to me, it will be a dead end.

Rare pitch?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Rare???

Perhaps instead of Washington D.C. and Minnesota he will win only Vermont. Walter Mondale said he would raise taxes and that's all he got.

With Hillary about to be indicted, Sanders is all the Dems have. All I can say is Keep talking of raising our taxes Bernie - Keep it up!

I’m waiting for “Zero Deductible” Supermarkets, Gas Stations, Clothing Stores, Houses, Cell Phone Plans, Cable TV (not basic Cable either) and Automobiles.

Heck, I want “Zero Deducible” Season Tickets too.

Where do I sign up, at the local DNC Headquarters?
Maybe they’ll send a Driver to pick me up.

Don’t you love those tv ads for healthcare.gov?

where they XXXX out the $600 dollar / month premium
and show you the happy family paying $90 instead?

[Kickass Conservative]

I’d kill for a $600 Premium.

We pay $1,900 a Month for two Adults. We do have Dental and Vision though, so we must be doing pretty well. LOL

Idiots support Sanders because they won’t be paying taxes. They are communists. Sanders is a true believer. One of Lenin’s useful idiots.

**** At some point that will run out of people to tax. But for some reason that simple fact eludes them. ****

Yesterday to them is a distant foggy memory, today is Euphoric and Bernie, tomorrow is but an abstract construct that can be painted by more Bernie and a splash of Euphoria.

Bernie is buying, Belly up!

[TexasTransplant]

**** Since 70% of income taxes are paid by the top 10% of earners, and 84% by the top 20%, it actually is a very appealing political strategy. ******

Fair Tax will Fix this overnight and we will be RID OF THE IRS!

(I KNOW WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE IRS FIRST... don’t think we can’t, they are a softer target than ISIS and probably have a higher disapproval number)
