[quote]I'd sooner gargle broken glass than vote for a corrupt bitch like Hillary.[/quote] I'm a Bernie Supporter and I agree with this statement

Well then you're stupid.

Hillary is a corrupt bitch. There is no reason to vote for her

Bernie is far worse.

Nah, you just hate the idea of people not living in poverty.

Again, you're stupid.

Again, what part of an educated, healthy, comfortable middle class do you hate?

Please. Bernie will demolish the middle class.

Nothing he proposed would damage the middle class. Infrastructure, education, healthcare, family leave are all boosters of the middle class. You'll need to give an actual logical argument as to how these ideas are a negative

This leads to the heads of those companies (The rich.) lowering pay and cutting staff on their employees (The poor and middle class.). This, coupled with his income tax plan will cause the middle class to loose so much money that they essentially join the poor.

The assumption that taxing corporations will cause them to fold up shop is one of the biggest lies turned into talking points ever. Business will always exist where a need exists. Tax them at 0% or at 50% it doesn't matter. If a profit can be made, it will be made. You also ignore the fact that taxing the top to support the middle creates a situation where the purchasing power of the middle class is strengthened thereby creating more business for the corporations. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/17/business/putting-numbers-to-a-tax-increase-for-the-rich.html?referer= And to your point that raising taxes costs jobs, it's proven that lower taxes don't create them. http://www.cheatsheet.com/business/heres-what-happens-when-we-lower-corporate-tax-rates.html/?a=viewall

Under Bernie's tax plan, the purchasing power would be reduced for the middle class, and thus, businesses would be making less money, and also have higher taxes imposed, and thus be forced to make cuts. [quote]Tax them at 0% or at 50% it doesn't matter. If a profit can be made, it will be made. [/quote] I want to focus on this specifically. In order for a business to make that profit, they need to make cuts. I happen to own a business myself, and right now I only employ myself, a secretary, 2 nurses, and a janitor. If taxes on my business went up, then I would cut pay and/or staff in order to continue [b]making the [i]same[/i] amount of money.[/b] [quote]And to your point that raising taxes costs jobs, it's proven that lower taxes don't create them. http://www.cheatsheet.com/business/heres-what-happens-when-we-lower-corporate-tax-rates.html/?a=viewall[/quote] Why did you post that article, it works in my favor. I never said that lower taxes will create jobs, I said higher taxes will destroy them, which that article backs up.

Bernie's increase on the middle class is 9%. This is not factoring in the elimination of all healthcare costs. Remove all health related expenditures and your effective rate is not increased at all. If you choose to make cuts to make the same money, that's your choice. But if businesses all do that, a vacuum will be created in which more business will form to fill. Personally I'm not big on taxing small business as y'all aren't the ones skipping out on billions of taxes by accounting shenanigans.
