(19,926 posts)If you bothered to look into it you'd see that the only people who are going to pay more taxes are the very rich and also that everyone is going to get many more benefits under Bernie's plan, like single-payer health care and free college.
Why are you against what the Dem Party has stood for forever. It only started favoring corporations when Mr. Clinton embraced the DLC and NAFTA.
When you and the OP spout right wing talking points about those scary taxes all you are doing is reinforcing the fact that the right wing of the Dem Party is too corporate and has a Republican mindset when it comes to policy. Just like Obama, the right wing of the Dem Party are really moderate Republicans. If you hate the Democratic Party platform so much you should consider switching parties. Bernie is the most representative of the real Dem Platform there is. The fact that you mock him so much is telling and sad.
P.s. Doesn't matter who says it, whether they are a Dem or GOP, it's still a right wing talking point. There's far too many right wing talking points and tactics on DU lately, but that's where the right wing of the Dem Party wants to go... sad that it's allowed since this is supposed to be a Dem board.
