Bernie wanting to tax wealthy people up to 70% is in no way fair. That is thievery.

That is not a basis for a fair tax structure. That is his point. Bernie proposes going way beyond fair.

I have no beef with closing loopholes, raising rates on wealthy earners if not too excessive, getting them to pay their fair share.

Even his estate tax ideas are extreme. Understand that taxes have been paid on most of those funds. Again, not fair.

He firmly believes the government should be able to add a tax to whatever money is out there. Many of us disagree.

Imagine as a kid during summer vacation you spent it collecting thousands of baseball cards. You are quite proud of your collection. You are the envy of the neighborhood. Then a bully comes in, and proceeds to scoop up the vast majority of them, waltzes out with them, leaving you with little to show for your efforts.

The bully is Bernie and his proposed tax policies..

We like Ike!

Yes thanks for that...

Maybe you are mistating some of his tax proposals and not addressing the trump tax cut.

Never mind. You are incapable of discussion involving anything but what you want to hear. Is why I blew up on Dougie the other day. He tilted when I wouldn't follow him off the pier by hating on laramiebob. I became the enemy just that quick. You are polar opposites.

Yes it is, no it isn't is not a discussion.

He hasn't made sufficiently clear tax proposals, so it would be virtually impossible to misrepresent them.

That sounds smart but is not coherent

No, I'm just going to vote, as will all the other sane people who are fired up. Sanders will be Loki, Trump will be Hulk.

Some may hold their nose again, but their checkbook will tell them to avoid Bernie...many Dems will stay home. Moderates don't want him.

I find Sanders to be genuine, unlike Biden or Warren. He truly believes in his message. Unfortunately his message scares the crap out of a large percentage of the electorate.

We will see what his electability looks like in states such as Texas with Super Tuesday almost here. I gotta believe right now he is an underdog to Trump. It could change.
