    That’s the thing about northern Euro social democracy paradise - everyone pays through the noise, even the pours.

    The Bernie bros all think they can get the free shit and only tax the rich. Maff is hard.

    It’s fucked. We need to bring back the USSR so they fucking pay their fair share.

    A viral post claims, falsely, that Sen. Bernie Sanders at a recent debate called for a tax rate of 52% on incomes of $29,000 or more to pay for his Medicare for All plan. He didn’t. That figure was floated as a potential marginal tax rate for income above $10 million.

    Doesn’t affect my post above in terms of accuracy.

    Bernie wants to tax the sh*t out of the lower and middle class. Start with a carbon tax and then a national VAT and end up with taxing 401(k)s.

    Same ideology, and more importantly, same race/nationality.

    Bernie wants an upper effective tax rate of 70%, along with defunding the military, lowering costs by cutting end of life care. But what happens when Congress only lets him get away with say 50-55% high end tax rate, (and I’m being generous)? That money shortfall is going to have to come from somewhere. We haven’t even talked about free college yet.
