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.

So you guys are seeing what I'm seeing.

This should be spread far and wide. Anyone pulling the lever for Bernie needs to understand the personal price of it. I don't think folks have the extra to pay. This would pretty much flatten me and make me question why I should keep working as I do now.

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/

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

This one may actually force me out of the state. They make it seem cheap to employees but it will kill the self-employed. There are no guarantees those numbers are accurate and no guarantee it will eliminate all other healthcare costs, meaning a self-employed person may have to pay into this and then maintain some kind of gap coverage/fund expenses.

Looking at these numbers, why couldn't these hypothetical households just buy the "free stuff" for themselves? Look at the dollars a modest middle class family will be paying in increases. $8,000/year buys a lot of college!

It's just ironic to me that people would complain about the price of college, then like the idea of switching from paying for college once, to paying for college FOREVER, and think it's a good idea. It is just astounding how financially stupid people have become.

^ Exactly. As bad as tuition/school loans are, it can be a fixed liability (once completed). This is an infinite liability that can never be paid off and is certain to increase.

nothing for you, it all goes to the takers...

of course, this all assumes they can get passed what they want... but it shows the intent (except Hillary, you can't trust anything associated with anyone even associated with her... unless they're dead- then they tried to stand up to her)

More deadbeats, more kids getting indoctrinated in college while they take useless "courses of study" and forget how to actually think, a decrease in national security, and global appeasement. I think that about covers it.

Don't worry...just pay up.
