He supports a marginal tax rate of 90% on the wealthiest Americans. Just like how it was back when we were living under the rule of the radical socialist Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I have said it probably 1000 times by now.
I do not nor will I ever support robbing from the rich, and giving to the poor so they can go out, and buy more stuff.
NEVER in a million YEARS will I support it.

First off the value of the dollar was more.
Second off there were less government programs with less people on them.
That was at a time when the rest of the world was still living at second,and third class levels.
As the rest of the world has modernized, and lifted themselves to first world status.
Sanders' plan is just ridiculous.
The only thing he is going to do is put more people out of work, and more dependent on government programs.
Free education ?
Are you kidding me ? Diploma's won't be worth the money they are printed on. But hey ?
Them teacher unions will be making out like fatcats.
Raising the minimum wage translates to higher social security, and medicare contributions employers will have to be shelling out.
The biggest winner there is the federal state since the tax rate is PROGRESSIVE.
Meaning the more someone makes the more the state collects in income taxes.
I want no part of Sanders delusions.

Now that Boehner is out a relatively 'moderate'.
You just may be looking at a Trump nomination.
Just maybe be looking at a Trump presidency too.
Careful what you wish for people.
You just might get it.

i actuallly totally agree with you on that........
It truly is the end of the world!
But let me guess, you would have no problems at all with less regulation on the workplace, getting rid of the minimum wage, more tax breaks for the rich and billionaires, less wall street regulation and more corporate welfare right?
Hey those big corporations need incentives to keep hiring right? You love to go on these rants about how the poor are robbing the rich, yet the income of the top 10% of the wealthiest americans is at an all time high so how exactly are they getting robbed?
Do you also have a problem with how the rich rob the middle class by using tax loopholes?
You accuse Bernie Sanders of wanting to rob the rich, but here you are promoting what sounds to me like Economic Feudalism. You and your ilk have managed to fool millions of Americans into becoming mindless vassals by giving them horse and pony shows. By promising them to protect them against those evil foreigners and homosexuals, creating fake scandals over abortions, and warning them against "Socialism".
The modern GOP and Neocons have created a vast of people that want nothing more than for the GOP to protect them against fake boogeymen, foreigners and gays and to lower taxes on the rich so the wealth can trickle down.
The death of America will come fast when we accept economic and socioeconomic policies that put us in a race to the bottom with China and India.

When did it work the best?
As is when was the market the freest and worked like you say?
Pre 1913.
Of course people are free to support regulation.
As it is as FASCIST as it gets.

Can someone tell me why a right wing fanatic is worse than a left wing fanatic?
Competition creates incentives that makes goods cheaper, better ,and higher pay to keep people working.
It is UNACCEPTABLE to target a minority of American Citizens by the majority to pay for their every little hearts desire, and VIOLATING their 14th amendment rights.
The middle class gets the same tax credit,tax rebates, and LOOPEHOLES. Stop trying to act like they don't get them because they do.
We all know trickle up doesn't work, but that doesn't stop the richphobes keep trying the same failed ideology.
People need to ask them why goods are cheaper to make over in China, and have them shipped back here than to have the same things made here.

left-wing fanatic?.....where is one?... and qualify your evidence....the only left-wing fanatic I know about is Noam Chomsky, and he is not allowed to be on television, plus, he is a pretty laid back guy for a fanatic, but, he is definitely left-wing.....EDIT:...besides the socialist Bernie Sanders.

We may as well just get it over with once and for an elect a kardashian. Obama proved its not about skilled politicians, its about riding the pc progressive look-how-cool-I-am-voting-for-a-black-guy wave. Just substitute ~black guy~ with whatever the flavor of the day is and repeat four years later. That is no basis for a system of government.

Isn't that what the GOP is trying with The Donald? Basically just a rich entertainer.

Errmmmm....yes and no. I would put the Donald way ahead of all the kardashians combined in just about any context except sex tapes... and I am VERY happy to say that... As much of a cartoon character as he is, he is still a far better politician than any kardashian could ever be. God, this is depressing...
