Since she showed -- when asking Bernie gotcha questions whining about her
tax bill -- how clueless she is that many Billionaires pay no tax whatsoever.

I like Ellen.

She has not worked any harder than I have.

I did not make millions.

If I had millions, taxes would be an after thought.

I really didn't understand where Ellen was coming from.

Bernie did not do a good job of explaining to Ellen why her

taxes were so high.

She stated 50%, but I find that hard to believe.

Our tax dollars are being squandered.

Corporations are not paying taxes, but collecting subsidies.

We have been warmongering for 14 years.

Our tax dollars are used to pay for food stamps and medicaid for

minimum wage workers.

Government shutdowns and fake investigations use our tax dollars.

The list is endless.

Just my 2 cents.

35. Because California has 12.3% state income tax.

I think she meant 50% combined. Even so, the only way she could get to 50% is if all of her income is from wages and none of it is from long term capital gains .

we should all express our outrage to our government representatives, boycott these corporations' products, and vote accordingly to stop this pillaging of the american economy.
