Didn’t Bernie Sanders already admit everyone’s taxes would rise to 50% but you’d get a lot of “free” stuff?

Just go to Youtube and search bill whittle eat the rich. It’s a video about four or five years old that does the math about taking money from the rich to finance stuff.

Pretty effective.

Just wait until the masses find out how much THEY will be taxed for Medicare for All! When I was working in the NHS, back in the 80’s, I was making PEANUTS as I wasn’t a registered technologist in Britain, and my tax bite was 50%. There, the Government decides how much to tax you and once a year you get a little card in the mail telling you how much you paid for the designated year. And EVERYBODY PAYS TAXES. None of this 50% aren’t taxed.

Well, if raising taxes won’t do it, they’ll just have to confiscate the wealth....../s

They don’t plan to just tax high income. They plan to slice off a percentage of savings/investments/assets each year. Yes they will. That is not a tax. It is a confiscation. And they will do it if elected.

"Funding Medicare-for-all with taxes on the rich impossible"

Maybe, depends largely on how much you lower the definition of 'rich'.

Add to the cost of Medicare for all the cost of free college and the Green New Deal and 100% taxes on everyone would begin to be enough. Face it what Warren, Sanders and the Squad want is nothing less than a communist state resembling the former East Germany.

I talked to a Medical University professor. He said what isn’t being discussed is that Medicare for All would destroy the current medical establishment. 50% of hospitals would close in bankruptcy. Many doctors would quit, because Medicare only pays them 50 cents on the dollar.
