1/ Imagine if we had a presidential candidate saying “Yep it’s true. We’re going to give you free healthcare. We’re going to pass a Green New Deal. We’re going to make college tuition free for everyone. We’re going to cancel all your college loans.”

2/ And when people asked “But how are we going to pay for all that?” the candidate would say “By taxing the segment of people whose tax cuts and corporate subsidies have amounted to the biggest transfer of wealth in our history over the last 40 years.”

3/ Call me whatever, but I cannot imagine that the American people would turn that down.

Think about this. The very small amount of taxes Trump paid was under the Obama/Biden tax years. How is it going to be different this time? How will it get through Congress? Someone is blowing smoke.

This totally plays into the robbing the rich to pay for the poor mentality that everyone with dreams of being rich thinks applies to themselves. We already pay taxes for Medicare AND premiums. Our government needs to spend that money more wisely, and, yes, fix the tax code.

Unfortunately, the American people didn’t turn it down. The power structure behind the Democratic Party did.

I’m with you. Still wish you were our candidate. 100% in line

Bernie said all those things, then they rigged the primary, again

Love you, Marianne, but we have to accept that half this country would rather suffer than see black and brown people benefit in such a blatant way.

Yeah I love when people use the word "TAX" well let's put it this way the smart people that make lots of money that employ the people will just turn around and leave and find somebody else to tax them less so think about it real hard before you destroy an entire country
