OT: Thoughts on the Bern's tax plan and impact

To save you some reading, raising taxes kills jobs, productivity, and investment.
Well, I already read it and I generally agree that taxes do what you have mentioned, but do you think that the data and models are likely to have the effects they say. In other words, I fear that if Bernie were elected and his tax plans passed, he could have the most disastrous effect on the US economy by a president ever.

Got to give it to the old fart - he knows what the entitled millennials want to hear and he gives it to them.

I believe reality would be worse than the model. There would be no reason or incentive to work or do business in the USA.

Uneducated poor to middle class whites> Trump
Blacks and delusional, gullible whites > Hillary
Conservatives (reluctantly) > Cruz
Ohioans > Kasich

smart Americans> hoping Kasich somehow wins the Repub. nomination, as he would end up the president.
 
I have long been on the record saying that I, a republican, woudl never vote for Donald Trump, but if the alternative is Bernie?????

I'll hold my nose and vote Trump. If Im reading that correctly my Federal taxes would double ....

Did anyone notice today there was an article out saying that of all the contenders besides Trump, Sanders is paying by far the lowest percentage of his income in taxes. Yea he makes less, but his deductions were through the roof. So he basically wants everyone else to pony up.

All these deductions are straight bs in my book and are where a lot of corruption and cronyism come into play. Drives me crazy.

Trump hasn't released his info due to an "IRS Audit".
 
Read through this and some think this organization leans right so there could be bias but it seems to make sense.

I know Bern doesn't really have a chance, but I would much rather him be the next president than Hillary. It would be better for the country in the long run. Better to skip the slow death and go straight to the nirvana all these well educated morons think they want and let them see it in action.
the fall would be swift and hard, but recovery could start much quicker and we could at least have a few decades without rampant stupidity in economic and monetary policy.

You will never change this slide to more Government control since morons voted for the Muslim a 2nd term for POTUS. A POTUS that serves the UN....who treat and curse America like shit. The moronic populace makes me and 49.5% of this country want to puke.
 
Looks stupid on paper and moronic in reality. The GD dude is a Communist. If you want that shit move elsewhere. OBTW, it's never fvcking worked....EVER. ANYWHERE. The fact that you like and consider it viable speaks volumes about you.
I was saying the article makes sense in its prediction of the effects of berns plan not that the tax plan makes sense. I do not consider him a viable candidate.
