If you have a job that pays well, think again. If the Democrats win, you will be giving most of your earnings to the government. Bernie Sanders has already said he believes there should be a maximum a person should make.

Top brackets would have to be well over 50% for that to happen. That doesn’t seem likely regardless of the outcome of the coming election.

  Bernie Sanders has advocated for close to 100% taxes for top brackets in the past. None of the Bernie Bros on this site either want to believe it or to admit it. The shitty behavior of the Democrats and the push to full blown Socialism has pretty much forced me, my family, and all of my friends to vote Trump in 2020.

    You'd only see tax increases if you make more than $32 million per year. I'd imagine that none of you, your family, or your friends have been "forced" to vote Trump in 2020 - you're just afraid to admit you support him, and are trying to pin the blame on Bernie.

      I'm not 'afraid' of anything. Bernie couldn't even admit how much is programs cost (or didn't know). I would gladly vote for a more moderate Democrat.

        Would you rather have hundreds of billions of dollars going into the military-industrial complex than going to healthcare and education? You didn't bring up any concerns about how Trump would pay for his military budget. Bernie has already laid out his plan for an extreme wealth tax, which would raise $4 trillion over the next decade, more than enough to pay for his proposals (and wouldn't raise taxes on anyone with a net worth of less than $32M)

        Yes. Healthcare doesn't need another middleman Jacking up the prices. The extreme wealth tax, will only push extremely wealthy people out of the US and the middle class will suffer once again. I also don't believe the tax increases only on millionaires and the total you are showing for healthcare is much less than half of what's actually projected. Bernie already said that most people will be getting tax increases. He's also taxing Wallstreet, which will only reduce the 401ks and retirement funds of the middle class. Economic destruction, so everyone is on a shittier playing field is his end goal and really the only end result of extreme Socialist policies.

        Literally the only middleman in the healthcare industry is the insurance giants, who Bernie is trying to push out. None of what you're saying is true.

    Part of being a democracy is that one person doesn’t hold absolute power to set tax rates or switch us over to “socialism.” Why do you think electing Bernie is suddenly going to get all the other congressional representatives to go along with completely changing the way government and economy work?
