Bernie Sanders is too damn high.

[Robert A Cook PE]

So, why is she expecting “federal disability” to suddenly cut in and give her all the extra money she wants? (Er, need.)

[RC one]

the part that Bernie failed to mention is that his proposals add up to a staggering $18T over ten years.

I bet the media won't even mention this but they'll sure as hell mention it when Trump talks about CUTTING taxes for working men and women in this country.

[SamAdams76]

I'll say one good thing about Bernie Sanders, he appears to be honest and is not afraid to state his true feelings on a particular subject. If he and Trump somehow get their respective nominations, we will have two plain-speaking people to choose from.

Last presidential candidate to promise raising taxes was Walter Mondale. We all know how that ended.

[cherry]

at least he's honest about his intentions....

go ahead raise taxes....I'll retire in a couple of years and I'll be poor on paper....let the govt employees foot the bill....their the only ones doing really well in the bammy economy...

[Lou L]

If you asked Bernie Sanders, "what problem could we solve today if the government only had more revenue?" he could probably rattle off a whole laundry list of things. If you asked him, "well, how MUCH money do you need to solve all those problems?" he could not give you a definitive answer.

This is the problem with Socialists: they tell you that they'll raise your taxes but when you ask how much more they need, they imply, "all of it!"

[beethovenfan]

Of course you’re going to lose.

[V_TWIN]

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.

― Margaret Thatcher

[Telepathic Intruder]

And when the economy cracks like an overstuffed piñata, out will come a thousand squirming pit vipers ushering in a new socialist utopia.

[CrazyIvan]

But he’ll pump the water out of the other guys side of the lake.

[cuban leaf]

Raise taxes. Yeah, that’ll work. And when they raised the cigarette tax in N.Y. their tax revenue went down.

Then what, Bernie?

[EagleUSA]

Flaming communist idiot. Compared to Hitlery, also a self-identified Marxist in her comments, at least he tells much of the truth about his commie agenda.

[RightGeek]

[seawolf101]

I’ll take the communist over THE BEAST anytime. Unfortunately that’s how we got Omoron as Resident.

[ctdonath2]

As another FReeper clarified:
Bernie is a communist.
Communists make no bones about taking everything you have outright to cover costs.
When they say “from each according to their means”, communists mean it. Everything beyond minimum standard of living can & will be taken.

Socialists play games with taxation & debt, trying to hide the true cost.
Communists know the true cost, and you’re going to pay it.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The fact that a 74 year old Socialist Senator from a small almost entirely white state is polling above 1% is simply proof that even the Democrats do not want to vote for Hillary.

Great little candidate you have there.

[oh8eleven]

After my plans go into effect the rest of the country will be in the same boat as you so we can all commiserate together.
Well ... not actually me, of course. I'll be living in a mansion overlooking the reflecting pool making a half million a year.
Bwhahhaaaaaaaaaaa ...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t blame him for getting testy. It IS a pretty stupid question.

[Theodore R.]

Here’s our winner then: the American people love tax hikes: it makes them think new goodies are on the horizon.

[Desron13]

"Bernie Sanders: Of course I’ll raise your taxes."

I'll raise your taxes until there is no gain from productivity left to tax. Then I will tax your future earnings based on your "ability" and give it to the poor downtrodden victims of those of you with talent and work ethic according to their needs. Just who decides what your ability is and what your contemporary parasites needs are? Why me of course! Do you see how wonderfully that works out?
