Well, that is their plan. Cost shift tons of money from republican voters to their leech constituents. Sanders and his crowd believe the main problem with the economy is that the rich are hogging all the money. He believes that global warming is our biggest threat. He no doubt thinks rent control is a smart way to address a housing shortage and that a high minimum wage promotes employment. That racism is the main factor holding blacks down. Seriously, some of you look down your noses at Sara Palin yet you think this moron is some kind of wise and trustworthy leader. A lot of you are too young to know what a hard core communist looks like. Well, they look like Bernie.
cost shifting is something different than what you are referring to. It does not involve creation of "new money" nor new costs.
" A lot of you are too young to know what a hard core communist looks like. Well, they look like Bernie." I guess that means Eisenhower looked even more like a hard core communist!
Our tax rates are still progressive, but the confiscatory rates have been eliminated. No one should have to pay 70% of a portion of his income. Income disparity has been more a result of wage stagnation, over-consumption by the middle and lower middle classes and rising personal levels of debt among them. They have no foundation upon which to build wealth over the long term The banks laid out the credit card treadmill and these fools are paying 24% a year on their balances and just digging their holes deeper. I do think, however, the financial industry makes an unhealthy sum of money. Raising taxes isn't going to address the underlying causes of wealth disparity. The worst way to get the underclasses up is to route money through the government via wealth redistribution. They should be getting higher wages, they should save more and spend less. And eat less. They can barely pay their utility bills but they are obese. And we should eliminate corporate welfare. And probably individual welfare. You don't work, well, you don't eat. Fuck em.
Because he is the only one who doesn't have a plan for raising GDP which IMHO is none of the President's business and I think a new president starting out should have a supportive congress. But, I thought the same thing in 2008 and voted Obama and a straight democrat ticket and have spent the last eight years hating all of them. "Screw me once, shame on you.....but....you aren't going to fool me again..." I've voted straight libertarian ever since, but they are wearing me out. Like I said, Bernie I'll vote straight democrat Trump I'll vote straight republican (if it's close) otherwise I may stay home so if you are a pollster it should be obvious, If you can nominate Hillary and somebody other than Trump you shouldn't have to worry about people like me
Wow, I didn't know that income is determined by how much one spends. Must be that conservative logic being spewed forth again. Like vomit.
Do you realize how many family farms and small businesses the estate tax destroys? Can you spot the irony of entire families being forced onto unemployment.
