These weren't bankers jumping out of Wall Street windows, they were working people losing their jobs and homes.
Look at the state of Greece and Spain now.
Clearly that's a terrible thing , pity it wasn't the bankers tho.
And Greece yeah classic I am not gonna pay taxes but you should economy.
A friend lives over there in a beautiful house but has horror stories about how the economy has been run the last 10 years.
I think he will end up coming back to the uk.
These places have over 50% youth unemployment which has to be a time bomb.
If they had our climate there would have been a revolution already...
Seemingly the levels of government corruption makes it sound like the sopranos.
The super wealthy don't pay tax anyway so fuck them and their trickle down.
The people that pay all the tax are the well off middle classes and they won't go anywhere because there aren't that many good senior management jobs in Somalia...
We were told in the UK that if we ever had a minumum wage it would be an economic armageddon and the rich would all leave. The people saying these things bullshit all the time through their media to frighten people.
What a genuine fucking joke Sanders truly is. A self-professed "socialist" running for the highest public office is no historical significance. master Bernie's slaves have no fucking idea that socialist ideas have been virtually criminalized for more than 60 years and that socialists were driven out of the unions and victimized in Hollywood in the course of the witch hunts of the 1950s McCarthy era. But, hey, it's "kwel" because Bernie is going to give his slaves like FORD FREE college and pussy and weed and shit. When this phony cocksucker has any real discussion on the true alternative to the capitalist system and corporate-controlled media that he so embraces let me know. Otherwise, free yourselves, grow up and quit posting shit about the guy.
Apologize, slave FORD and self-ban for 10 years.
Yes well in this country we're going to have to tax the living shit out of the middle class to pay for all this free shit these idiots here want. I'm all for requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share - that's how it should be. Duh.
But these idiots here want to tax people making 200 grand a year at 90%. So they can have free college. To get a high paying job. So they can pay 90% of their earnings in taxes so other idiots can go to college. It's a brilliant idea: we'll have a country full of highly paid flat broke idiots.
Butsa I'um gunna go ta Hahvurd fer FREEZE thanks da Bernie.
I wonder how much welfare I'd qualify for if Bernie gets elected. I'm thinking a 4 thousand dollar check each month would be fine. Actually, since I don't want to go to college and be surrounded by pampered pussy morons, I should qualify for more. Hey there's a thought - if you opt out of the free college then the gubment can increase your welfare payments. And I want food stamps to cover beer.
I could get elected president tomorrow. All I'd have to do is promise free college, promise to raise the minimum wage to 25 bucks an hour, and promise to close every police department in the country. Hell, these retards here in the US would make me emperor.
Ok so 10 seconds on Google has an article from that 'communist' news site Forbes saying the 90% thing is actually 50% at the top end.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterjre.../#68df60594dbb
So why would a clever guy like DonnieP think it was 90%?
Why do US politicians spend hundreds of millions of dollars on elections...
Neither, actually. That's what the college students in this country want. And no, it's not just the one idiot that got interviewed on Fox Business. You know - all these same pampered pussy college students that want to abolish free speech, go back to segregation, and gee I don't know get rid of the poe lease.
What amazes me is these kids are going to some of the most expensive colleges in the US, their parents are filthy rich, and they cry about social, racial, and economic inequality. It's no different then Michelle Ubama crying about how she's been so discriminated against her whole life. And she lives in the White House. And isn't a maid, she's married to the president of the fucking United States.
So you can only argue against poverty and unfairness if you are a victim of it?
Then of course we can all just look at those people and say 'well they would say that wouldn't they because they want our stuff and don't they dress badly too?'
It's not so much welfare Bernie will provide but slavery. He'll spoon-feed you all sorts of bullshit about how convenient your life will become. But what has Sanders really done? Oh sure, Bernie cries foul about US imperialism while embracing the Obama's Administration’s power for more war as he licks Obama's ball sack praising his criminal policies in the Middle East. master Bernie America's Vermont whitest Jew has publicly bitched about for an even larger portion of the US military budget to be plowed into “fighting ISIS and international terrorism.”
So I'm not sure about welfare but expect more war, American imperialism, and social class struggle under Bernie. Because, you know, that's how slaves live.
As far as the free college thing goes the US could definitely afford it and it would make your country much richer and better in a generation.
You think you will be able to keep churning out the Google's and Apple's in 10/20 years when only the 'pampered pussy college students' can afford to get well educated?
I'm not following this colonial vote that closely and don't know much about this old guy but are you saying that there are a plethora of better candidates or are you doing the immature late teens politics student move of suddenly realizing the world isn't fair and doesn't work well so you're gonna go punk anarchist on it.
Come on you're closer to middle age than teenage grow up.
The top tax rate in the US used to be 91%. The Republican President Eisenhower was fine with this tax rate, and he used the money to build the Interstate Highway System. Of course he also started building all those missiles to keep the Commies away, and towards the end of his term began building the space program.
JFK lowered the top tax rate a little. Reagan lowered it a lot. Chimpy lowered it to ridiculous levels. Not coincidentally, there hasn't been any major national infrastructure built in this country since the freeways. Including the maintenance on those very roads & bridges since the most recent Chimp tax cuts. Some of the bridges were there even long before the freeways. The southbound side of the Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia river from Vancouver Washington to Portland Oregon was built in 1917 and was part of the old US highway 99 before the freeways existed.
This is the major north south corridor of the West coast states. If that bridge collapses, not only is it likely to kill a few hundred people immediately (always a high traffic area) it's going to have significant economic impact on all the West coast states, and probably adjoining states which get anything shipped by truck down the I-5 corridor. It would cost much less to tax the rich leeches and fix the thing pre-emptively than wait for the disaster to happen and then have to clean up the huge mess on any number of levels.
But the right wing greed culture created by the FAUX/Mush/Trump mentality just cannot grasp that reality.

Listen to slave SESH everybody when the dumbest of America's increasing dumbfucks are suddenly allowed past the doors of Stanford or Yale. See what happens then under the guidance of master Bernie.

What are you talking about you silly person?
If you remove fees from higher education it becomes a meritocracy (look it up) rather than being based on a battle of the rich kids.
Inheriting Apple shares does not make you more intelligent. Is your problem that you wouldn't have got into college otherwise?
Poor slave SESH attempting to take the stand on righteousness.
No Apple shares ever went towards my tuition. Even if they did, I'd would still be in student debt.
Personal taxes never need to be higher than 50% the problem is a combination of corporations no longer paying, stupid defence spending and bailing out a corrupt banking system. None of this has anything to do with personal taxes. There is a tipping point anyway once you get much over 50% everyone starts employing accountants and setting themselves up as mini corporations or whatever so the gross take starts to go down. That's not a political point, it's just a fact that they all know.
It's worrying that people like DonnieP are believing this Trump 90% thing it shows how well the BS is working.
slave SESH what you and slave FORD fail to understand that nothing in life is for free. No grey-aired Jew who panders to idiot millennials, welfare queens and the shrinking middle class his Jewish brothers and sisters have helped to create is going to change that. Slaves love pandering, it seems.
It's changed quite a bit in our lifetimes but I think it would surprise a lot of Americans to realise that most European governments tax take is really not much higher at all. It's difficult and complex to compare and varies depending on how much you bring in but attempts to compare have it within a couple of percent especially if you factor in healthcare.
Gimme me more free shit! Sesh - you do realize there are less working aged people working in this country than there are on some form of welfare, right? How's about this - everybody goes out and gets a fucking job. Oh, sorry, I forgot - it's better to be on welfare than work in retail or any of a gazillion other jobs that "don't pay enough".
Lemme ask you a question, it's gonna costed a lotta money to provide free health care and free college and all those goodies. Now, since those things will costed mo money, and we gots less people working than on welfare, how is we gonna pay for that? Well, we is gonna have to tax the shit out of the middle class. So tell me how an over taxed middle class will encourage these idiots to go to college? You get yo free education and then you get taxed to shit. Odd, doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah, that's it. asshole. I don't like Jewish people. Especially, senile, grey-haired ones (who have zero fucking clue as to what a comb is) who pander to the masses for easy votes of the poor and disenfranchised. of course, if [your] master Bernie was a Catholic, it would make no diffy to me that all he wants are slaves. When you going to forge a solid argument, slave SESH?
The two most costly people you can have are people in jail and people on welfare.
Stop the pointless war on drugs and it's all paid for.
Or stop spending 10 times as much on defence as everyone else and it's all paid for.
Or stop spending it subsidising the banking industry and it's all paid for.
Or get big corporations to pay tax again and it's all paid for.
There are 4 options and you only need to pick one and none of them cost you a dime.
None of your candidates will be able to do any of the above because the system is completely fucked but I'm just sayin it's not about the money.
