(Yes, I know all about Vox but this is interesting and worth a look)

Saw this on the Book of Faces from a guy who was "neutral" and he was surprised at how much The Bern is going to cost him. I've run through my scenario and multiple other scenarios.

I am consistently finding tax increases that people can't afford. Even a small family at the poverty line will have to cough up around 5% more. The Denver metro median income family would have to pay around 12% more.

Put in a married couple with HH income $60K and you get a $6,830 increase. Add a child and you get a $7,980 increase. So the Sanders plan penalizes families for having children?

The Trump and Cruz numbers offer savings, Trump better than Cruz. Clinton's numbers are flat until you put in $250K+.

If you play with it (the calculator, to be specific), let me know what you think.

I'm really surprised The Bern has gotten this far. This is the exact opposite of the lie Liberals tell (free lunch).

I got seriously burned by Bernie ... Under his plan I pay $4530 more, under Clinton I pay $40 more. Under Cruz I pay $2400 less and under Trump $2560.


Basically if we get Bernie AND the Single Payer Socialized Medicine crap on the ballot I'll lose more than $8,000 a year.

Lol. Bernie's plan would set me back nearly $20K more each year according to them.

Bernie and his idiots will learn the hard way that they aren't entitled to as much as they feel they are.

Don't forget to add Colorado Amendment 69 to the total. https://www.i2i.org/amendment-69-wha...-care-measure/

There is a 6.67 percent tax on the total payroll of all employers, and a 3.33 payroll tax on employees. All other “non-payroll income from all beneficiaries” will be taxed at 10 percent. The new taxes would be added to the 4.63 tax Colorado already imposes on income.

All costs incurred by business will be passed on to consumers.

So everyone would be paying more taxes across the board, but what has Sanders promised in exchange for that increase?

That's right. We're forgetting about all of the cool free stuff we'd be getting from the government. I'm sure everything will kind of balance out. We wouldn't have as much money but we wouldn't need as much money.
