Bernie Sanders wants to tax Wall St to pay for college. 1/2% tax on all trades

  1. Just simply vote against this socialist pest. Unfortunately this almost means to vote for Trump 2020. So far I don't find a single democratic candidate remotely electable. They all completely lost their shit. Biden flip flopping on abortion was just the most recent nail in the coffin.

  2. This essentially kills all retail intraday trading or do you score more than 1% on average per intraday stock trade?

    A better question is why is it so easy for them to increase tuition and fees faster than inflation? Hint: It doesn't have anything to do with college sports.

    Interesting. Honestly I didn’t know about him until you and heavenskrow mentioned in this thread.

    But yeah I think this is a great platform to run on. Income inequality is not the problem. Poverty is. (I did borrow this line from Ben Shapiro)

    Taxing the rich to feed the poor is such a rotten old idea. Especially in this coming election when Trump has demonstrated that the way to go is to make the pie bigger.

    Dems can actually out-trump Trump with technology. Sounds like a crazy idea but it can work. And it is the future anyways.

    If the dems can succeed in doing something like this they can also earn their legitimacy back as a party for the people. Right now they got hijacked by the left extreme and has gone completely rogue and are just scraping the bottom of the barrel for every vote they can get. Illegal immigrants. Felons. Under18s. LGBTQ. Whatever.

    'completely lost their shit'.... can't put it more precisely.

    Trump2020 that bad huh lol... I think instead of arguing about Trump so many different ways till the end of time... we do have the markets performing near all time highs and the returns from Nov 2016 has been stellar.... that should be enough to settle the arguments? :)

    Bailout scorecard:
    Total outflow: $632.4B
    Total inflow: $739.7B
    Net profit: $107B

    I'm fine with bailing out individuals with student loan debt as long they have to pay the money back and we're able to turn a profit on the investment over the next decade.

    I'm fine with that as long as it's tracked though increased income tax from better positions as a result of higher education.
