Realize Bernie’s issue is billionaires, not millionaires. Because he is one. Somehow.

Sitting representatives should not be allowed to make additional income while in office. Write a book when you retire.

I agree. Plus all government officials should make their tax returns available for review. If only to ensure foreign governments and corporations do not have undue influence over our government.

Notice how he doesn’t say 1% anymore... Want to know why? Because he’s in the 1%.

Remember guys, you can’t criticize capitalism or our current society if you own stuff.

Collective bargaining got it to $15+/hour. Hypocrisy would be fighting against unionization. Instead it's a case study in why workers benefit from being united. How has he hoarded wealth? Such a lazy critique.

United workers get replacement by machines. They will drive up the cost until the lose their value and get outsourced or replaced by technology. That is the true case study....

Unless the Government taxes automaton. If you have to pay $10 p/h for every machine that replaces a person, you might hire more people, or you'll pay the tax & it will go to those people as universal income.

You seek to take money from billionaires in a struggle for power. You promote greed, envy, and theft.

He's one to talk. He should give away more of his millions if he's so keen on socialism.

Is it not part of his policy to raise taxes on the bracket he is in?

Taking away from some to give to others teaches them nothing but to put their hand out for more. I do not argue against taxation (stuff costs money) what he is talking about isn't the right answer either. Billionaires can move much easier than the rest of us if taxed too much.

Wrong.

I'm just in awe of your well-thought-out and reasoned response...and with all those helpful cites! My, oh my, how can I possibly respond to such an in-depth analysis?
