To a Leftist, “fair share” means taking from the rest of us but not necessarily from them.
Depends on what you get.
Right now, for what we are paying, what we get is outrageous.
And the BernieBros believe this crap. None having any idea of how the tax code actually works.
I’m all for the Feddies taking 100% of every politician’s income for taxes. It’s “absolutely” fair for those freeloading maggots.
Says a billionaire who can’t guarantee the poor won’t be over taxed
Getriddadabum!
“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that taking more than half of someone’s income through taxes is “absolutely” fair for some earners.”
I don’t think the founding fathers would agree with him.
>>Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that taking more than half of someone’s income through taxes is “absolutely” fair for some earners.<<
But NOT sanders himself. Who has 3 houses in tony neighborhoods
Confiscating a second house a family owned is for the greater good....... No one can live in two houses at the same time,
Bernie looks oppressed and loves oppression.
BTW, today there’s no such thing as “fair share”. Tyranny in America is unconstitutional government acts and agencies. Forced funding of tyranny is opression.
80%+ or $3+ trillion of the fed gov’t is unconstitutional. You start by dismantling that beast. Once you have a constitutional government, then figure out a very low flat tax probably around 5% because the limited constitutional government won’t need much more than that.
My college Tax Accounting professor told the class that the first day of the first tax course I had to take while I was getting my Accounting degree. Also, "When in doubt, deduct it" and "Who's gonna know?" Everything else about taxes you have to look up, because they are always changing it.
The people who enact taxes have no intention of making the filthy-rich people suffer. gates, bezos, soros, and others are valuable to the left. Their fortunes will not be touched.
But they are targeting the leftover money that remains after we are no longer here. They want the money that ordinary people earn, pay taxes on, and leave behind. They want it and will take it by any means they can.
sanders said “Billionaires should not exist. Period.” Go ahead, bernie, and take ALL their money. I won’t criticize you.
(Remember how obammy said “At some point you have to say that you have enough money.”? The guy with 4 mansions became super rich as president. On a president’s salary.)
2019 - the socialist bartender isn’t very fond of them either -
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: A system that allows billionaires to exist alongside extreme poverty is immoral
if you add up all the taxes and fees, many are already paying > 50%.
SANDERS never worked for a private employer in his entire life.
Anyone who pays 50% of their income in taxes needs to spend some coin on a talented tax attorney.
Give to your local community!

Correct...they pay too much. They are the ones who create economic growth and jobs. If you feel you are poor and want to complain about Bezos' wealth, I'll be sympathetic after you put food on the table and a roof over the heads of over 200,000 people.
Sanders is a hypocrite: he and all other politicians had decades to change the tax code and are responsible for its "unfairness", yet always bitch about it during a photo op.
Plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto: A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Democrat Socialists descended Germany into Civil War and Hyperinflation and will do exactly the same thing here if given the chance.
Simple a flat tax $40 thousand to $100 billion a 10 to 15 percent tax everyone gets gouged at the same rate.
No loopholes or exceptions but the D.C. Mafia hates the idea they will have to pay taxes on their umm speaker money and other exempt items.
