Notice thee never propose a flat tax rate.
While the average truck driver according to the socialist Sanders was 3.3% I can assure you my middle-class self paid 24% Fed and 8% state last year.
Truth is the top 10% income earners pay something like 85% of the taxes.
Sanders is both lying and tax illiterate.
Sanders is just lying. Communist who wants to divide Americans based on class. Typical technique, old technique, been used by Socialsts/Communists to rally people for over a hundred years.
The fascinating thing to me is the utter ignorance of those that have not watched this game plan unfold so many times, and how bad it destroys counties and peoples. Teachers unions have done such a good job lying to the youth for so long. People are no longer functional to learn history, look around, and ask fundamental questions like “Why is Bernie Sanders Rich?”. I guess people don’t read animal farm anymore.
The wealthy spend much of their income on investments that bring new jobs. The tax obsessed Commies don’t care about investments. Much of the taxes go to NGOs that act as money launderers used to line Commie pockets. The whole Marxist system is a huge turd on the political landscape.
Before the Fed there was no income tax. Tariffs funded our government. Why not abolish income tax altogether?
An alternative is declaring your income and claiming lawful money thru 12-411 process.
Think about it!!
If Sanders and his ilk ever told the truth, they would never be elected.
HOW MANY NOT LEGAL TO EVEN DRIVE A TRUCK ARE PAYING ANY TAXES AT ALL???
I believe he well knows he is lying - but pushes the lie anyway b/c he assume Democrat voter base buys it - which they do - they scream in ignorance about the "rich not paying their fair share" - they are the ones who are truly ignorant.
"The top 1% of taxpayers foot 46% of personal income tax in New York."
All the way to election and the bank, right Sanders, you phony and fraud:
