On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that taking more than half of someone’s income through taxes is “absolutely” fair for some earners.
Host Bill Maher asked, “I hear you all the time say, the rich don’t pay their fair share. Now, maybe that’s true of those three guys you mentioned [Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos], they are pretty rich. But, I guess I’m not very rich, but I pay more than half. California is 13.3% and the federal is 37% for people who make over 250k…and then there [are] the state and local and property taxes.

Something tells me that Bernie would come in just under the over 50% tax rate. BTW the middle class is struggling because of your progressive policies.

I'd like to hear him if the IRS gave him a bill for 50% of his looted income.

Everyone is already having more than 50% of their income taken. 35% income tax, 15.3% social security tax, 8-9% sales tax, state income taxes, inflation tax of 10-15%. Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom bankrupt or closing stores, because there are no more prosperous people left. Only ones with money are politicians like your Bernie, who I understand has 3 homes, despite never having held a job.

Bring on the national sales tax then let those who think they have a refund coming to them file income taxes for that refund. If you're 16, file for your refund. If you're an illegal alien, file for your refund. Leave the rest of us alone. Everyone would have some scratch in the game. And it would definitely flush out the illegal aliens.

Not fair for Bernie though. He deserves to keep his ill-gotten gains-the money stolen from taxpayers and all.

Bill Maher was confusing Sanders with facts. He likes his talking points even if they are false in true Leftist/Marxist form.

'Once a thief, always a thief,' comes to mind regarding the socialist/dem/RINO pols as it is NEVER enough for the greedy, conniving pols!

I have to wonder if he will be so willing to cough up the dough when Biden gets through with some of his IRS agenda. Ending the tax shelters that Bernie, Pelosi and all the rest have access to would raise a whole lot of revenue. I don't believe they would like that.

I do wish someone would ask Bernie the obvious…why would people work to earn more when they know the majority of their earnings will be taken by government?

Well then how 'bout 50% of YOUR income, Sanders?
Bolshevik Bernie.

Well done, #6.
As for school load debt, that financial woe is self-inflicted. So is the case with most of those who are living on the street, lifestyle decisions which led to addictions. Only the mentally ill (other than substance induced) probably don't qualify for current conditions being the result of poor choices.
Inflation, which is causing everyone to suffer, even the "rich" have to deal with inflationary pressures. Fuel and food costs are soaring. I can't imagine how the average family with children is managing those twin drains on the family budget. And these are the result of Biden's wretched policies. And he does not care a whit.

How about 75%, or 90%, or just making them a slave outright. I know Communism. I was up close and personal with those iron curtain countries looking at them through gunsights before you ever arrived for that honeymoon.

Hey Bernie, no one needs three or more homes. We will take two of yours and give them to the illegals you love. Sounds like good old Marxism to me. What you say? Bernie?

The ultimate goal of Bernie and his socialist ilk is the equal distribution of poverty for the 'peons.' George Orwell predicted this in his book 'Animal House' where all are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Bernie is the only socialist I know that owns three houses, is a multi-millionaire and charges for the signing of a book about the evils of capitalism. He loves socialism as long as he is a member of the Politburo.
