Bernie's a kook who won't get any of his policies through Congress. And if he did they'd be disastrous. But Charlie Kirk is an extra chromosome dipshit with made up numbers who can't even grasp the concept of marginal tax rates or gross salary (I'm not sure how he managed to fuck both of those up in the span of 140 characters). Those of you who lap this shit up (sorry Yella, I love you, but you're just as guilty here) without the self awareness to realize you're as dumb as the shrieking AOC minions that boil your blood daily are the real problem.
the important thing of the post was twofold -
1. Socialism sucks - true statement 2. maff is hard - true statement
Point 1 is a lot easier to argue when you rely on more than shitty memes from James Woods and Charlie Kirk to make your point.
Bernie's tax plan is pretty straightforward, and easy for anyone to find if they have access to a search engine. His proposed marginal income tax rates:
-40% percent on income between $250,000 and $500,000. -45% percent on income between $500,000 and $2 million. -50% percent on income between $2 million and $10 million. -52% percent on income above $10 million.
Yeah, that's a sizeable tax increase for a lot of people, and not just the very wealthy. There's a lot of other details about removing deductions, changing the basis of derivatives, and of course, introducing a wealth tax. But this board should probably start with the remedial basics first.
What’s the tax rate between $100,000 and $250,000? The majority of the taxpayers fall into this category and will bear the brunt of his spending plans.
They stay the same. You only start paying more in terms of the marginal rate once you cross that $250k threshold. I'm not sure how the standard deduction (which Trump doubled) or other specific itemized deductions (which Trump started eliminating) would change under Bernie. The capital gains tax would also be brought up to match the ordinary income rate for people who make over $250k per year.
Seems to me it still breaks down to socialism sucks. I do not need anyone's tweets to prove that, I can look at how socialism has worked at numerous other countries around the globe.
I do not want us to be like any of those countries.
