    do you really support any person to pay 90% of anything they earn to the government? Knowing fully well they will continue to spend it on studying the effects of tequila on Vietnamese hookers?

    What happened to society that someone could support this nonsense?

    Taxes should lowered. Politicians should be sent to prison for the shit they do with your money. Its stealing. Legalized stealing. That should change.

    YES. Yes I do support that.
    I am having trouble understanding why someone who makes 30,000 has an interest in what a billionaire pays in tax.....regardless of what it's spent on.

    As long as it doesn't go back to that billionaire in subsidies & tax rebates

    Here I will post this for you again. Since you missed it the first time.

    Know your history, socialism & socialist programs are part of American History. The most resent being the banking crisis. The banks made mistakes, and got bailed out by the government. That's socialism, just not the kind Sanders is in favor of, but Trump was. Mr bankruptcy Trump knows all about socialism.

    Vote Sanders.

    doesn't make it right.

    the top 10% already pay 70% of all the taxes now.

    Jay, rich people are usually rich because they are good with their money. The government not so much with your money. Soon to be 21 trillion in the red. It's not government's job to invest in companies like Solyndra to the tune of 500 billion plus. You how how many people could be helped with that money? Instead its ... oh well it's only taxpayer money. 500 million here, 1 billion there, 918 billion to bail out bankers, few hundred million to waste anywhere and it adds up. They borrow money from the social security to spend it on whatever the fukking feel like. Nation building in Iraq and a 15 year war in Afghanistan. And you are ok with these thieves doing even more of this? While Detroit's water supply is poison? Americans let politician get away with this nonsense and that's why they keep doing it. That's why a moron like BS has the audacity to even suggest it. The nation has been desensitized to their criminal activity.

    They need to have a legislated balanced budget. If they need to do a stimulus, it must contain no pork. Like Reagan did. He vetoed any stimulus bill that had pork.

    Cruz is right. 10% flat tax and a VAT on everything. The economy will boom and the millions more taxpayers will generate more revenue but it has to go to a responsible government.

    I'm telling you right now. If we get a Repub Pres and still have a Repub controlled congress, we are fukked.

    It's a proven fact Repubs run up the debt. It's a proven fact they hate entitlements. It's a proven fact they will
    put us in a war of some type causing recessions. You WILL fear for your job, guaranteed.

    They always fuk with entitlements. Medicare/ aide and SS. Bush with his voucher bullshit. Christie is talking
    working until you're 70. They snuck in an extra year on me when I wasn't looking, motherfukkers.

    You guys go right ahead and vote for everything you are against. Unless you are rich, you are fukked.

    Bernie has a shot. The next President will be a Democrat. That is a lock. 0.00004% chance a Repub wins. I think every candidate is a square and nothing will change anyways.

    stupid question. all informed people know that bernie's top rate is barely 50%.

    and o'reilly is a penetrating drooler! he's going to flee "murica #1" - like an unpatriotic oyster - over some phantom tax rate. oh, and BTW, he's fleeing to a country with a top tax rate similar to sanders', a country with a universal h/c system, a more robust safety net, and extreme gun control.

    given all we know about o'reilly declared positions: one might just call that the threat of an uninformed simpleton.

    and yet you have JayVegas saying "YES. Yes I do support that." (post #1130) when referring to the 90% tax.

    if you weren't so stupid - you'd know that "free" college won't add a penny to the debt. as for your even dumber claim on health care: surely someone as dumb as you doesn't realise that we're ALREADY spending 20 trillion over the next 10 years on health care.

    so pop quiz dumbass, which number is higher: 20 trillion or 15 trillion?

    what do you think a 90% tax rate means? this is a question dwight, since you mentioned it, what exactly does it mean.
    do you know? I bet you don't know, explain it to us. go ahead. another unanswered question right.

    ok so BS backed off the 90% thing and jayvegas wants to see the rich pay more than 70% of all taxes. Fine.

    What do you think is the max someone should pay? Better yet, don't you think government needs to stop wasting trillions before the ask people to pay more?

    he never "backed off" shit. he never said he wants a 90% rate. he used the 90% as an example of how "socialist" we've been in our past.

    again, if you were informed and actually familiar with his proposals, you would know he has specific proposals to deal with government waste. this is partly why his proposals are deficit neutral.
