You won't be taxed 52%, that's not how it works. Unless you're rich af, and then only a portion of your wealth will be taxed at that rate. Y'all clearly don't understand how progressive taxes work.

You are likely paying more than that already, it's just going to an insurance agency rather than single payer healthcare.

dude, congress allocates funds.

orange potus took funds illegally from defense to wall. mcconnell allowed it.

dems dont do that.

try another line.

building another house is a flop.
nearly all senators have a home near or in dc.
house 3 is a cabin by a lake.
try again

I’m pretty sure I understand how “progressive” taxes work, given that I have a graduate degree related to the subject, and I’ve also lived in countries with systems not all that different than what the Bern proposes. You are wrong.

The all-in effective rates - fed income, state income, property, cap gains, etc. - for most people would definitely be 40+% and would be 50+% for most of the middle class, AND that’s not including the VAT. It’s not possible to fund everything otherwise. Take a look at Denmark if you think otherwise - national weighted effective rate is above 50%.

Weird that you look to their race instead of their governmental policy to determine why they are prospering.

Only if Bernie was dictator could such a tax be passed.

The members of both houses know it would cost them their livelyhood.

But to be answer the op I would quit and work off the grid till the commissar caught me.

Their race doesn’t have much to do with it. Their homogenous culture Is the reason not the government.

You see, when you have a small group of like minded people who have the same culture, it’s easier to implement certain policies.

There are a lot of things that go into why it works there and won’t here. I’ll give you a couple.

City layout. Cities there are old. Hundreds of years old. They precede modern vehicles, this were laid out in ways that are becoming of public transit. Their cities are very walkable, not spread out like in America.

Lifestyle. These people are overall much healthier than Americans. They walk more, ride bikes more, shop at local stores instead of a super Walmart. They might have a McDonald’s or two, while we have 50 in a city with just as many other fast food options.

I can keep going, but what’s the point? It’s comparing apples to horses.

They're not the only countries to attempt social democratic experiments. Their Southern European compatriots and a hell of a lot of Latin American countries have tried similar models, and they are universally economic basket cases - weird how the Bern and his loons always refer to Denmark or Sweden and not Greece, Spain, Italy, and the coterie of other quasi-third world countries that try to do similar things. Culture matters a hell of a lot when constructing a political economy.

And besides that, the U.S. is richer on a median basis than all of them except Norway (who really is a petro-state along the lines of Kuwait or the UAE than it is like the rest of Europe) and Switzerland (who looks a lot more like the U.S. than it does like the rest of Europe when it comes to tax policy and is the financial capital of the world), especially when adjusting for purchasing power.

I didn’t say otherwise? I can say they’re an ultra white country and still attribute their success to their cultural homogeneity.

It’s just fun to point out that the countries you leftist tout as perfect are almost exclusively white while you do everything you can to demonize the white man.
