Compared to Warren, who's plan only affects those at 50MM and higher.

Yah, I get that Bernie isn't a "communist." But, he's also a communist.
Just started playing around with the tax calculator on his website:

I'm no billionaire. I'm not even close to being a millionaire. But goddamn. this dude.

warren's isnt the full picture, that's just the wealth tax, which she says is aimed to pay for child care/college tuitions/student loans
she has additional taxes for things like medicare, etc
So why isn’t Bernie saying the bernietax.com calculator is inaccurate?
Shouldn't come as a surprise, Bernie's been upfront about middle class going up.
Does he know that website exists?
I guess it's a question of whether your tax increase is more than what you save on health insurance.
Fair. For a healthy 30 something year old, they don’t. By a large amount. Obviously could be different for others, but this is just my thoughts from my vantage point.
Really I haven't seen anything that says that
Is bernietax.com inaccurate? If accurate, why does it matter if Bernie knows it exists or not?
Bernie is going to tax that website until it's only a thumbnail.
as long as he redistributes to wealth the spurstalk
maybe he should just tax all income at 90% flat and 99% of income over a million tbh
Y'all hoo HATE paying ANY taxes will be suckered/compromised yet again by Trash cutting taxes as a campaign 2020 tactic
Would cost me an additional $10,000 a year over what I pay now.
congrats tbh, you are doing quite well for yourself to reach those numbers.
would you be able to keep your home if this came into effect tbh?
Bernie is a total fraud s bag millionaire who doesn't live the lies he preaches to his gullible re supporters.
ing die already bernie!
would ruin his quality of life because he would no longer be able to take his kids to the arcade and theme park every week tbh
That is the part that most conservative hand-wavers tend to gloss over.
We spend twice as much on health care per capita, mostly because of the massive administrative overhead required at all levels of the health care and insurance system to handle claims and get paid.
There is a reason that the universal health insurance in other countries is cheaper. Over time the premiums and taxes would fall to rough parity with other OECD countries.
Fair. But what about the healthy 20 or 30 something who doesn't pay that much in healthcare costs and has to pony up thousands more under Bernie's plan. What's the appeal to them?
This doesn't take into account deductions bruh. It's a hit job
And its the same as before, because health insurance. Plus, none of this is taking into account that SALT deduction limit is killing the middle class anyway. That would likely be reversed if any dem was president, because it was just a tax that targeted blue states. Removing that alone makes this easily at least a wash for me, personally.
The appeal to them is that over their lifetime they’ll still pay collectively less for healthcare than they’d be paying with private insurance / a broken medicare system with out of control costs.
Not to mention the part Sanders should advertise a lot more that the 20s and 30s crowd could would be able to start a small business without paying for their employees’ healthcare.
The real truth though is that someone like you, a healthy guy in his 30s who makes good money, is always going to be subsidizing other people one way or the other. Right now your tax dollars are subsidizing the defense industry with spending we don’t need.
