Didn’t have to, Pope Francis already handled it for him. from wikipedia, but also confirmed elsewhere: “On 13 March 2015, Pope Francis announced a special jubilee on the theme of mercy to be held from 8 December 2015 until 20 November 2016, and formally convoked the holy year through the papal bull of indiction, Misericordiae Vultus (The Face of Mercy), on 11 April 2015.”
Mr. Sanders is proposing a payroll tax increase, which affects EVERY WORKING PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES.From the guy making 6+ figures to the waitress on the other end of the scale will pay more taxes under Bernie.Stopping the deterioration of the working class should be a priority; and as a member of the working class I can tell you paying more taxes will not help me.Bernie is not for helping people in need, he is for bleeding people that work.
Until bush gave away the farm in unpaid for tax cuts, the economy was doing fine. Once corporations fixed it so we would never get any raise more than cost of living, and now we need permanent tax cuts to survive. Bernie would reverse that and we would have tax levels to make the country thrive again. Hint: it’s not zero.
Until someone figures out a way to require corporations to put money into their infrastructure that does NOT come from potential pay raises but from unrealistic investor returns the economy of the working man will continue to deteriorate. The people who are sucking the money out of the system are not putting it back except to suck it out again. It does nothing in-between but aid in stock price increases, which improves investor returns…ad infinitum.

Carmen, “This type of behavior is unacceptable unless you’re one of the upper one percent.”

It’s the socialist dream of President Bernie.

Intelligent decisions are all up to each of us. Spending ourselves into a bottomless pit of debt is not an intelligent idea!
