There is a huge problem with Bernie Sanders, but he’s not the one causing the problem.
There is a huge problem with Bernie Sanders, but he’s not the one causing the problem.
I am a Bernie Sanders supporter, and I think that he is misrepresented and treated unfairly by the media. One morning last week, a reporter on Fox News was interviewing people on who they support. Two of the people said that they were supporting Bernie Sanders, and the reporter asked if they were okay with him “wanting to tax you 90 percent”. The people being interviewed, rather than correcting her, said that they were okay with it.
Saying that Bernie Sanders will tax anyone 90 percent is a blatant lie. The highest tax rate he proposes is 52%, and that’s only for people who make more than 10,000,000 dollars a year. That means they would still make at least 4,800,000 dollars. I think they’ll survive. The tax rates would actually stay the same up until $250,001, which is where it starts to slowly increase from the current rate. All of this information comes from the official Bernie Sanders website:
