Alright in all fairness I didn't see the whole story I basically read the headline and laughed at the stupidity of it and decided I would share it all with you.
"Bernie Sanders' plan to hit the richest Americans with a 97% tax rate"
As I said i didn't read the details but at what dollar amount is he talking about and really a 97% rate? So for whatever amount it is that is being taxed you get to keep 3 cents on the dollar and the government takes the other 97 cents.
I don't care how much money someone is making you can't steal 97 cents on the dollar. The government can't manage money as we have seen by our national debt and they are going to take more of it to miss manage? Your just going to tempt people to cheat on their taxes more than they already do.
Once they were to pass that what is going to stop them from taxing the middle class or even the lowest earners more than they already are?
We don't need the government to take more of any ones money till they prove they can manage the money they are taking already. If the politicians want to show how much they really care about getting money and saving the general population then lets see you give up something. How about less vacation time for you, how about pay something towards your health and dental benefits, maybe no more life time pensions, there are so many things they could do to save some of the money they are spending but they wont do that, just keep taking and taking from people.
ok sorry rant over.

@Bensen32 I agree with you that is insane. They should start doing better things, like fixing a maximum salary for those too much paid CEOs of the big companies. Particularly those of the Pharma companies, so that they can offer medications at a better price.

And the rich will simply leave the country, refuse to pay taxes and settle in countries free from American law. The heinous UK VAT tax of the 70s caused the rich to flee to Switzerland etc. Billionaire liberal Jeff Bezos of Amazon will just blast himself in his spaceship and live on the moon lol!
