Looks like the socialist coup leader, member of the 1%, is trying to sell his lies again.
No one else, I that I know of, actually researched every last one of his campaign promises.
I spent 7 hours researching, from his own website, from his own cited sources.
To understand the present, one must study the past.
Here is my commentary on his first campaign.
"The Religion of Bernie, "A future To Believe In" Sanders. Faith based blind following, cult like.
I went to Bernie's site because unlike most, I actually look into things before talking or posting about them.
@Point one..
$1 trillion plan.
The source for "Rebuild America Act" ..
" revenue losses from corporate profit shifting vary substantially, ranging
from about $10 billion to about $90 billion,"
That means it is wild speculation.
.
@Point two:
$75 billion a year.
"College For All" ...
The source they claim to pay for that, is filled with "We assume", "our best assessment", "our best estimate", "difficult to establish the answers to your questions on the basis of serious analysis and references to evidence and credible research.", "our conclusions are not based on anything close to the type of solid foundation in research and evidence that one would normally expect in considering such an important question."
In short, pure speculation based on speculators.
@Point Three:
"Expand and Extend Social Security: "
" developing this proposal to meet your goals."
Right out of the gate they SSI rep is admitting that these "Estimates" were formed around meeting Bernie Sanders goal. Invalidates the report for bias reasons on that basis alone.
This, once again, they admit is pure speculation "All estimates are based on the intermediate assumptions "
The whole "Assumption" is based on taxing people who generate wealth in this country. If they were not generating wealth, you would not be able to tax them out of business.
Some are already getting taxed over 50% of their income and these clowns want to collectively tax another 11 TRILLION dollars.
Then they want to punish anyone for making an investment and steal another 3.4 TRILLION.
What is the answer?
Dump another almost 15 Billion dollars of tax burden on the people, not just the rich, people in general.
@Point four:
$5.5 billion
" Youth Jobs Program "
Once again, based on Estimates. Would take at least 3 years to reach base funding if this becomes law based on their own estimates.
How do they pay for this?
Steeling more money from people, people who generate revenue and are already getting slammed in the 15 billion tax increase from point three.
The Bill itself is full of opinion providing and based statements. Fund managers, manage. They do a job, they get paid. It is not right to punish people for being successful with arbitrary taxation because the only form of funding you understand is more taxation. The kings of England would be proud.
It is the exact opposite of what they country was founded on.
@Point Five: " Paid Family and Medical Leave "
Guess what?
More taxes. More taxes and this they can't just pretend it only effects the "Ultra rich".
They are already adding another 15 trillion in tax burden on the backs of the people, but you can give more to your benevolent government. On Senator Gillibrand's referenced website, they do not even bother to give a total cost. They simply give a disingenuous opinion of "Self sustaining".
Tell us the full cost of the program, period!
@Point Six: " Protect Pensions"
Modify like-kind exchange rules for real property and collectibles.
"investment property (including real estate, art, and collectibles), if taxpayers exchange a property for similar property instead of selling it, they can postpone paying tax on the gain until the second property is sold". They assert abuse in this system, but make no case to show it to be true. Faith based.
" In the case of works of art, the death of the taxpayer or donating the artwork to a museum will mean that the tax is never paid."
So in the case of handing something down to your family or being generous, YOU ARE NOT TAXED ENOUGH!!"
Modify rules for minority valuation discounts
They want to "deliver" this one on the dead and the generous.
" transferred at death or by lifetime gift".
They fully admit that these things are already taxed. They call the process a "Loop hole" without defining what makes it a loophole.
" because of a lack of clarity in the law" so they say.
" taxpayers have been able to undervalue substantially the value of transferred property" prove it.
Besides, they are being taxed, this is coming from death or generosity.
Bottom line, go after people who are abusing the system.
No need to change the tax code for something that is such a tiny drop in the bucket in the big picture penalizes people unnecessarily. "$11 billion over 10 years."
Even if they could prove that this is a big enough problem to change laws, it dose not make the case for or establish a foundation of viability to Bernie's over all plans.
@Point Seven: "Renewable Energy and Clean Jobs Transition"
What is the central means here?
More taxes, big surprise.
In the form of removing tax breaks apparently, they are pretty vague about the whole thing.
The draconian government says:
"HEY!! YOU BETTER STOP USING FOSSIL FUELS!! OR ELSE!".
Well, if you are going to be a dictatorial government like that, the least you can do is help them with research and development, but that is exactly what they are talking about taking away here, taking away "government-sponsored R&D" aid.
Loan guarantees, well once again, lots of debate here. But if you are going to be a dictatorial government and impede the business itself then you owe it to the company, they need to prop it up from the financial destruction they are dictating down upon them.
”loan guarantees" are not even a handout, as they so skillfully try to psychologically implant in the mind of the reader. The faithful worshipers.
Just like the previous entries in this list, $135 billion in "Estimated" savings is a drop in the bucket compared with what he is promising the country if elected.
@Point Eight: " plan to expand health care coverage to every American."
How is does he say it will be paid for?
"Paid for by a 6.2 percent income-based health care premium paid by employers, a 2.2 percent income-based premium paid by households, PROGRESSIVE income tax rates, taxing capital gains and dividends the same as income from work, limiting tax deductions for the rich, adjusting the estate tax, and savings from health tax expenditures."
Taxes, more taxes, endless taxes, unlimited taxes.
I am exaggerating a little, but you see the trend here.
Who defines "Rich"?
"Communist Manifesto
1848 by Karl Heinrich Marx
- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."
The other way they claim to fund it is by turning all control, all power to the government in the form of "Single Payer" insurance.
"United States can afford single payer health care program"
If you do not understand they have been trying to force in a single payer government run system, you have not been paying attention.
Obama in 2008:
"I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program."
Hillary Clinton in 1994:
"Single-payer would have lower costs."
Bill Clinton in 2009:
"The good thing about single-payer is the administrative costs are quite low. "
Jeb Bush 2013:
"On health care: “As far as single-payer, it works in Canada. It works well in Scotland.”
Just to name a few.
They have been drooling over single payer for many years.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton
This would end private medical insurance companies. End free market in the field. Put all the control into the hands of the government. It is government interference in the free market and failure to defend the constitution that has us in a situation where it is easy to program the average citizen into believing it is a failure of the system of free market capitalism. That is what this is really about in the end. Even with his own stated stance as a socialist.
Conclusion.
Magical thinking, faith is required to believe these things are true.
The fact is, that the only way these things would become possible is if we were to turn into just another socialist country. To ignore the history of socialism is to be doomed to repeat it,
Social security was part of the "New Deal", the seeds of socialism in our country.
They had to take over our monetary system, traumatize the people with WW1 then crash the economy.
They had to make people emotionally damaged, homeless, starving in the streets to get them to accept these seeds of socialism in the first place.
If this is a vote about becoming a fully socialist country, rather than just electing one president to defend the constitution, the people need to understand the stakes. They need to understand the treason.
Socialism is not compatible with the constitution. It is treason to act against the constitution.
The socialist utopia is a myth, a mythical beast that shall never exist in reality.
Socialism, the governmental system of mass murders.
So many other reasons not to pray to this god, but this post was meant to address directly the nonsense and tyranny in endless taxation.
Bernie "Bitch of the bank" Sanders is a religion, a Capt. Obvious cult of personality puppet.
His cult followers are willfully ignorant of easily definable facts.
Go look at these lies and misrepresentations yourself. Look at each link, for every post. You must read the bills to even begin to understand the bullshit involved.
