Yeh Bernie because nothing says electability like a 90% income tax. LOL!
I believe that 90% is the top *marginal* rate, which would kick in at $1,000,000 of Adjusted Gross Income. Not many of the 52% of folks who voted for Obama in 2012 would be affected by this.
My wife just informed me that her sister told her that she is voting for Sanders because he will give her family free health care. Her husband hasn’t had a steady job in eight years, collects thousands a month in disability (which are purely related to his obesity), and he sits around all day playing video games. He refuses to look for work and has consumed my wife’s parent’s entire retirement.
For people like my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, they are fine with a 90% tax. This is what we are up against in this country. I’m afraid that this kind of sales pitch will succeed because we have too many takers, mooches, free loaders, and dead beats in this country. Up until now I’ve managed to keep my mouth shut at family gatherings, but I’ve warned my wife that the day is fast approaching that I won’t be able to contain myself any longer.
