In last night's debate, it got real contentious at one point with Bernie and Hillary shouting over one another about which one of them was the first to propose a $15 an hour minimum wage. It is truly pathetic that neither of them understand one iota about business except how much they can be taxed and run into the ground.

I was literally laughing out loud as Wolf Blitzer tried to get them to stop the feuding.

April 16, 2016 will go down in history as the day the Bernie Sanders campaign died.

http://www.youngcons.com/bernie-sanders-releases-tax-returns-only-paid-13-5-in-2014/

After releasing his tax returns, we find that the avowed socialist, who favors hiking taxes on the rich people, paid an effective tax rate of 13.4%......while calling for a tax hike to 39.3% on the top 20% of wage earners. (The current rate is 28%).


Now look - you can get bogged down in the details of WHY, but nobody cares. When you run as the straight shooter of the bunch and are calling for tax increases for everyone when YOU don't even pay the MINIMUM rate now.......well, you're done.


RIP Sanders Campaign

Has Bernie answered any questions about his tax rate? No wonder the old geezer hadn't released his records yet. Secondly will all those feeling the Bern become disillusioned by the hypocrisy of their socialist hero?

Selma. Bernie's tax rate is 19.6%. Tax is paid on income after deductions, exemptions etc. not adjusted gross income.

He owed a total of $27,653 in federal income tax, paid $31,825, and got a tax refund in 2014 of $4,172. He also owed another $7,903 in Vermont income tax. Bernie and Jane Sanders paid an effective tax rate of 19.6 percent on their federal taxable income in 2014.

Here is a table comparing the Bernie Tax to the present tax. Has a tax calculator of sorts.

While the details change, my point still stands. He's nowhere near what he 'should' be paying.

The funny thing is Bernie is probably even with Clinton if the super delegates aren't there, but the democrat establishment wants someone they can control. So who is most corrupt?

Sanders sees salvation in California



"I have heard reports that Secretary Clinton has said it's all going to be over on Tuesday night," Sanders said. "I have heard reports that the media, after the New Jersey results come in, are going to declare that it is all over. That simply is not accurate."

"At the end of the nominating process no candidate will have enough pledged delegates to call the campaign a victory," Mr Sanders said. "They will be dependent upon superdelegates. In other words, the Democratic National Convention will be a contested convention."

I was thinking earlier today that Hillary will get a boost in California's primary....from her reaching the delegate goal last night. But maybe not. This is the year of the outsider......and Bernie is riding that wave until it reaches the shore.
