wow I like how you just pull that 1000 out the air and run it across the board. Some people actually run the numbers. I'm going to assume that you never did. Again some people truly don't want their taxes raised. If you want to show number. show me how you got to the numbers. My math puts me way above 1000.Here is a link to get you started so you can do the math.

Did you read the link you posted??
From the article...
"In
an analysis released today, the Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy research organization, found that Sanders’ plan would lead to 10.56% lower after-tax income for all taxpayers..."
"The typical American family of four covered by an employer-sponsored health care plan paid
$24,671 last year on health care costs alone, according to the non-partisan Milliman Medical Index."
“The typical family of four making $50,000 a year would pay less than $46 a month under Bernie’s plan for three months of paid family and medical leave and universal health care”
So, a family with a gross household income of $100,000 per year would pay $10-$12k more a year in taxes, but would save $24k a year in healthcare costs..... for a net savings of $12,0000 per year. Yeah, that sounds terrible!
More from your link...
"In addition to the health care premium and payroll tax, Sanders also proposes a raft of other income-based tax hikes that he says will pay for other programs, such as expanding Social Security and providing paid family leave: a 0.4% payroll tax, a shift to tax capital gains and dividends as ordinary income, an elimination of the existing Social Security payroll tax exemption for earnings above $250,000, etc. The list goes on—and it starts to add up."
I have no problem with that. Capital gains SHOULD be treated as ordinary income! How is it fair that a wealthy executive takes the bulk of his compensation as stock, paying an effective tax rate of 17% on his millions of annual income, and the average blue collar worker is paying nearly double that tax rate on his $50k-$60k a year income??? Do you support that? I sure as fuck don't.
Beyond all of that, are you in favor of corporate America calling the shots in DC? Paying off these politicians so that they get favors returned in the form of pork? Hillary is bought and paid for. She is more of the same. Just look at the list of corporate interests that have donated obscene amounts of money to her campaign.
I see no discernible difference between her, and the clowns that are running on the Republican side. More bullshit. No thanks.
