[quote]Bernie wants to tax capital gains at a higher rate and increase fees per transaction. Those kind of policies discourage investment, and hurt the average person that invests in the market. We should be encouraging investing not discouraging it.[/quote] You're clearly Ignorant. Let's say I make $10 million a year, while you barely make enough to scrape by, making $8 an hour. You get taxed, let's say, 2.5% of your annual income. Meanwhile, I'll get taxed 72%. I'm still sitting pretty with 2.8 million a year while you, you've got barely enough to pay for food, let alone rent. "But one should just get a better job!" Well look at how expensive it is to get an education and, therefore, a better job. You won't be able to. That's another part of bernie's platform: making education more affordable. Minimum wage's buying power has [b][u]not[/u][/b] scaled up with the cost of higher education. The plan is to keep the poor, poor, and help the rich get richer. Bernie wants to stop that.
