Bernie Sanders Rocks My World!

[Jaysyn]

What's the difference between a man making 900 dollars and the man making 9000 dollars?

$8100

Why is it fair to exempt the man making 900 from the flat tax?

Because it would be an undue burden on a very poor person? That's not so hard to understand is it?

What if the man makes more than 900 but less than 9000?

Then he may or may not need to pay a federal flat tax depending exactly how much he makes?

What if he makes less than 900? What if he can't make it even without having to pay taxes? Fuck him?

Then he'd probably be on public assistance, kind of like we have now?

We're not making the wealthy pay an extra half a percent in taxes to help that man out because that would be unfair?

But at 10% the "wealthy man" is already paying $10800 / year in taxes. More than that could be considered an undue burden as well.

That's your position.

Well it's more like a thought experiment, but call it what you'd like.
