Kick if you are ready for 100% increase in taxes.
That's what Bernie is proposing.
In particular, BY HIS OWN ESTIMATES he needs to double Federal Revenue roughly just to pay for his healthcare plan alone.
I know. I know, this 100% increase in federal revenue is going to come from the wealthy and wall street and closing loop holes.
It's not going to effect you! You're going to get all the benefits and pay little of the freight. You bailed out Wall Street. Time for Wall street to bail out you!
But do you really think there is the political will to more than DOUBLE federal revenues (cause when you add up ALL of his programs you've got to more than double federal revenue.)
If you believe that.... well.... jeez.

17. My taxes will go up by $100/year under Bernie's plan
For that I will pay about $15,000 less in healthcare costs. My grandchildren will not graduate college $100,000 in debt. We will not have 30 million americans without healthcare and another 20 million who can't afford the co-pays
And that's just the beginning.
What is your screen name at the Blaze?

22. People really shouldn't be able to make blatantly false claims
That is most certainly not what he is proposing.
For shame.
And you obviously don't understand why people are supporting him. Pretty surprising. You post here, but it looks like you don't read posts here. Try reading this:
Let's clear something up. Bernie's supporters don't expect a magic wand
We know that his priorities are aspirational. We know that if he was elected, that would be the beginning, not the end. We don't expect miracles, we expect him to fight the corporate money and power that is swiftly turning this country in a very bad, very dangerous direction. We don't believe that scrambling to tinker around the edges or produce fig leaves to politely pretend you're doing something is the right approach, because at this time that really is just tantamount to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I think a lot of Bernie's supporters feel as I do:
It's about integrity, and Bernie having consistently fought for the right things for a long time. It's about trusting his judgment, and I pretty much do. He's represented me for 25 years. So he's earned it. It's about ethics. In many ways, to me this primary is about character as much as anything else.
Sanders supporters know that when Bernie is talking about revolution, he's talking about shifting the culture and we know that doesn't happen overnight. We know that cultural shift precedes enacting single payer. We know we could fail.
We trust him to fight for people.
Who's mole? This thread is on fire. Bernie bullies are pissed.

Oh my.
The Bernie bullies, the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive in the lead, like a bunch of SS or SD thugs, didn't waste any time ganging up on the original poster. Talk about thugs, hooligans, and assholes.
And then there's this:

Yeah.
And the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive, who appears to be losing it slowly, day by day.
Not being a medical person, I dunno, but I wonder if she's got gangrene of the lady parts of her, making her into such a bitch.

If you think it's expensive now, wait until it's free. :whatever:
How many of these mouth breathers are the same ones that complained when they found out their new "affordable" health insurance policy came with a $6,000 deductible?

It's going to be so much fun watching the DUmp when the Sanders Claus run for the Dem nomination turns into a flaming pile of wreckage thanks to HiLIARy.

Other conservatives and I would argue with liberals back when jugearscare was coming in. We told them rates would skyrocket, gave them our reasons, and they poo-poo'd us. Said we just didn't like the black guy in the WH.
Well, premiums are skyrocketing, deductibles are so high the policies are worthless.
These people must absolutely believe in Unicorns who fart skittles. It's unimaginable how gullible they are.

But so easy, a murderer, traitor and habitual liar and a ridiculously unaccomplished Communist Septuagenarian can do it.

You know, if I were an insurance company, I wouldn't bother selling a life insurance policy to Methuselah; he's too big of a risk.
Number one, he's pretty ancient, and could keel over any time.
Or number two, he insists upon antagonizing a couple of people who have friends who get rid of people inimical to them.

:lmao: I'm laughing at DoctorJ who really believes that crap he just wrote. There's no way in hell to know such a thing.
Most replies are just childishly ganging up on the OP, but here was a more reasonable one:

48. I, too, would like a clear, understandable
explanation of how Bernie would pay for all he purposes. Wall Street indeed needs many loopholes closed, off shore stuff cleaned up, and the broom of reform applied - but, how is this going to affect the middle class, the ordinary Joe Plumber (sorry for using his name)?
Seems like the 1% backed the rest of us into a street fight that we have to win With Bernie we have a candidate that may scare too many Americans into voting for him because of how it will affect their pocketbook. I can really understand how many, many families struggling to make ends meet WILL NOT vote for Bernie because of that. They will fear more taken from their meager income and will vote for the billionaire who promises not to.
Nobody ever replied to this.
Here's something for you, Big Dog:

Someone even alerted on the entire OP, saying that she never cited her source. Even though, she cited Sanders' own website as source, over and over again. They really are assholes.

137. Obviously you're fine with it
as a Bernie supporter.
But you've got to be aware that what he's proposal will be a very tough sell and extraordinarily harder to actually implement than he's letting on. It's not because they are in the pocket of Wall Street that Democratic politicians are running away from him as fast as they can. The kind of proposals he is offering have a history of causing massive losses for the party. I know that's hard to believe because it seems so appealing, so easy, so magical.

I guess the DUmbasses forgot what happened to the last Democrat that said he was going to raise taxes if elected President. It didn't work too well for Walter Mondale and it won't work for Sanders Claus either.

Study: Sanders's Tax Plan Would Reduce Americans' Incomes by a Sixth (http://www.weeklystandard.com/study-sanderss-tax-plan-would-reduce-americans-incomes-by-a-sixth/article/2001065)

^^ And the DUmp posted some "study" by an "economist" claiming that the moment Sanders is elected, everybody gets $22,000 more money!!!
The one referenced in the post above is from a more sane source:
The nonpartisan Tax Foundation has scored Sanders's plan and has found it would cause the after-tax incomes of those in the middle of the income spectrum—those with incomes between the 40th and 60th percentiles—to drop by between 16.3 and 17 percent. In other words, Sanders's tax plan would reduce the typical American's income by a sixth.
