Well Said, Bernie Sanders!

The facts, you have to be kidding, the top corporation paid zero to less taxes than the average voter. the wars have cost more than a trillion dollars when you factor war time pay..etc....and has for the tax breaks, well, that's another issue. Think about it, there's a huge and growing disparity between the middle class and the wealthy a gap that is still growing, so the fact that we keep clamouring for more tax break for people that clearly don't need it is interesting. i DO ALSO BELIEVE THAT TAX CREDITS FOR HAVING BABIES SHOULD GO AWAY, NO CREDITS FOR OWNING A HOME, GET RID OF ALL THESE CREDITS. The rationale provided as to why we need to give tax breaks and lower taxes are deceptive. Companies will still flee the USA if the current trade policies remain intect, but that's not the only problem, wages vare much much lower overseas, the working condition guidelines are much more lenient, so there lies many underlying reasons why companies flee. A number of reasons contribute to companies offshoring and the least of these are taxes. It's time that we start focusing on the core issue and stop thinking thAt taxes will cure all ills. There;s a break even point bewteen the right level taxes and too much taxes. I am not oppose to paying the right level taxes, I am an investor, trade stocks on a high volume basis and and invest in other areas in the country, but even I recognize that roads won't build themselves, so paying taxes to me is patriotic, however, my only disgust is that these nit wits don't spend our money better.

Do I think that people should be taxed to death certainly not, I'm just a bit exhausted that the only solution that is always offered by the republicans has to do with taxes, I mean seriously, didn't they have 15% corp tax rate in Ireland, how did that work out? I've lived under a few tax heavy systems where I'm originally from, so I do understand this issue intimately, and asking for higher taxes or lower taxes often times is the cowardly way politician try and dodge the fundamental and structural defiencies that exist.
