The official thread for Bernie Sanders staffers that support gulags

This is already the 2nd Bernie staffer exposed for supporting gulags. And I'd expect many more in the future. Meanwhile as the communist gulag supporters flock to Bernie's campaign you'll hear nothing about the extremism from Bernie Sanders himself.

Bernie has some extremist staffers on the payroll.

[spurraider21]

"i will not vote for bernie because some kid on his south carolina staff named mason baird said things i dont like"

[Nathan89]

Actually there have been three or four exposers of extremist Bernie staffers. The media isn't covering it. Bernie isn't denouncing the extremists.

If you're so confident that Bernie has no chance and his socialist policies are crazy then why not support him in the primaries to go against Trump? Wouldn't you prefer a candidate who Trump will give an ass whooping to like you said earlier?

Or are you like Trump...scared?

[Will Hunting]

Reed the asterisk. He thinks Sanders would lose to Trump.

Sorry about the loss btw. Not sure I’ve even fully taken it in. Something about a guy who you wahtced look invincible on a basketball court for 15+ years suddenly dying like that just seems surreal.

and it would be a landslide in the 35+ age category, aka the age group that actually votes in droves.

Trump would take back Virginia, and the other swing states except Colorado are just too moderate to vote for an openly socialist guy for U.S. President.

[Millennial_Messiah]

you think Bernie would actually have a chance against The Donald? Hell, Trump would win AZ by like 25+.

i dont think he wastes his time following project veritas :lol

has anybody brought it to his attention so that he could denounce what you think he needs to?

Not sure tbh. Fox covered it as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's blocking out all sources not schilling for Dems.

[ChumpDumper]

Looks like a nonissue tbh, but your pearls aren't gonna clutch themselves.

Yes, because the establishment "liberal" media is very kind to Bernie Sanders.

The rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. The poor don't pay taxes. It's the middle or working class that gets screwed. Personally, I think it should be the rich footing the bill. Let them pay for their Zionist wars.

It's the middle and working class that will get hit hardest with tax increases because that's where the money is. Taxing the "rich" wont pay for all the free shit.

This free shit meme is really tiring coming from the right. Bernie has been pretty clear peoples' taxes are going up to pay for Medicare For All if he can get it implemented. What could be a better example of "free shit" than the Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts that kept blowing up the deficit and that younger taxpayers like SR21 are going to eventually be paying for?

Tax cuts isn't a gift. It's taking less. So a lot of things could be a better example.

USA will never have Medicare for All, no matter how many voters vote for politicians who promise to implement MfA

You People completely underestimate the $Bs that will be spent by BigInsurance/BigMedicine to block MfA.

They are too powerful, too wealthy, and own now and forever enough politicians to block it.

Americans are forever doomed to have their wealth/salaries sucked for $Ts for medical insurance and medical care, whose premiums and copays/co-insurance will rise faster than inflation

American are completely defenseless in face of the onslaught of the predatory, wealth-extractive, wealth-hoarding, all-powerful oligarchy.

The oligarchy lasses its ass off as Medicare for All other such For The People fantasies.

No, it really is a gift, considering there's no reduction of deficit to match it.

The middle class pays more dollars to tax revenue that the top 1%. They pay approximately 60% of total revenue. and yeah, Chump, thats where the money is.

Does that graph include Medicare and SS taxes, ie the two taxes the rich are basically exempt from paying?

[CosmicCowboy]

The chart says INCOME TAX but you are just making my point even better. The middle class pays more SS and medicare tax (which just goes directly into general revenue) than billionaires.

And BTW, the top 1% isn't just the billionaires. Its anyone making over $421,000. You could take 100% of billionaires income and it wouldn't pay for all the free shit.

I’m sure that was the answer to someone’s question. Wasn’t the answer to my question though.

[Will Hunting]

:lol I’m also not sure what your labeling as the “middle class”, but that graph says that the bottom 75% of this country pays 14% of the country’s income tax (and the bottom 90% only pay 30.5% :lol), which totally defeats your point.

[pgardn]

The rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. The poor don't pay taxes. It's the middle or working class that gets screwed. Personally, I think it should be the rich footing the bill. Let them pay for their Zionist wars.

Thats incorrect.

The working poor do pay taxes.

the top 75% - 99% are still middle class. Why exclude them?

[pgardn]

I don’t know what middle class means in this context of taxes if 50% of all tax payers pay 97% .

This would seem to indicate we need to re label divisions as poor, upper class, ultra wealthy or something different.
If the bottom 50% of income tax payers pay only 3%... We got a tiny middle.

[pgardn]

I’m thinking other criteria should be used to define middle class.

[ChumpDumper]

So who paid for your free shit?

[Will Hunting]

Who exactly classifies the 90% through the 99% as middle class?

Id exclude them because I don’t consider an investment banker who makes several hundred thousand dollars a year as middle class :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Also, is the money counted as AGI really the only money the people on the top make in a year?

Just seems to easy to shell-game this whole thing, and the elephant in the room is that the nation as a whole hasn't been paying enough for all the free shit we've been getting.

Seems like half the board used to care about deficits and the debt until we got a white guy back in power.

If they aren't middle class and they aren't the 1% what do you call them? i know technically Pew Research defines middle class as 40K to 135K.

[spurraider21]

are we talking individual income or household?

[DMC]

There's a lot of earning movement in that 9% though. 120K puts you in the top 10% while 300K puts you in the top 5%.

I'd consider 300K a year to be upper middle class but it depends on savings imo.

i guess without strict definitions its always subjective, but calling the top 5% upper middle seems weird imo

would you call someone in the 5th percentile lower middle class if they're earning something like 11k a year?

Upper class.

As you pointed out, Pew Research doesn’t define them as middle class.

I consider "class" to be standard of living more than raw income. If someone had no income and had the lifestyle of a billionaire, I wouldn't call them lower class.

[CosmicCowboy]

Bottom line, we cant pay for all the free shit by just taxing billionaires. Its gonna bite everyone that pays taxes.

while i dont like going all TGY and just posting youtubes... i think this one is directly on point, and stewart does a better job than i ever could (though in the last few minutes, mostly for comedic effect, he shifts goalposts from the "bottom 50%" to the poor)

The fact that we have a spending problem doesn't make tax cuts a gift.

[ElNono]

The fact that we have a spending problem doesn't make tax cuts a gift.

It does, obviously, because we're borrowing to cover for it. It's as much welfare as any other government handout.
