Bernie,
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. How sanders will
destroy America
1.
Can’t get the money from “millionaires and
billionaires”.
a.
They are already paying a HUGE portion of the
taxes http://strongandresolute.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-rich-now-pay-way-more-than-their.html
The
top 1% pay 22.7% of taxes. The top 10% pay 50% of taxes. The top 20% pay
65.3% of taxes.
b.
There isn’t enough money from them to pay for
all the free stuff Bernie suggests, even if you taxed at 90%
c.
Congress would never go for it because they know
it is dangerous
2.
The Bernie plan will ruin the economy for all
a.
Taxes matter. People leave states because taxes
are high. The reason companies have gone overseas is because we have the
highest tax rates in the world for corporations. Bernie raising taxes creates a
DISINCENTIVE for people and companies to work. There is a point at which people
say “why bother” when they work more and more for the government. Democrat JFK
understood lower taxes produce more growth. Raegan proved it.
3.
Bernie plan is dangerous. Socialism=government
controls the means of production and distribution of income. Countries that do
that cannot field their own people and the 3 major countries that tried it
killed at least 50 million people each last century: China under mao, Russia
under Stalin, Germany under Hitler. Bernie says he is a Democratic socialist
but he actually is an old communist. Honeymooned in the Soviet Union. http://strongandresolute.blogspot.com/2015/10/bernie-sanders-close-ties-to-world.html
4.
Cannot point to Europe as a good example. https://mises.org/library/greece-illustrates-150-years-socialist-failure-europe
. . . The reviews of some of these economists, especially on Mr. Sanders’s health care plans, suggest that Mrs. Clinton could have been too conservative in their debate last week when she said his agenda in total would increase the size of the federal government by 40 percent. That level would surpass any government expansion since the buildup in World War II.The increase could exceed 50 percent, some experts suggest, based on an analysis by a respected health economist that Mr. Sanders’s single-payer health plan could cost twice what the senator, who represents Vermont, asserts, and on critics’ belief that his economic assumptions are overly optimistic.
And then there’s Jonathan Chait, in NY Magazine:
The centerpiece of Sanders’s domestic agenda is a plan for single-payer health insurance. Sanders claims his plan would immediately produce trillions of dollars in savings through lower health-care costs — not merely bending the cost curve down, as Obamacare has done, but snapping it sharply in the other direction. Kenneth Thorpe, a respected liberal health economist at Emory University, has estimated that Sanders’s plan is “completely implausible.” The Sanders campaign has called Thorpe’s estimates a “complete hatchet job” and, as Sanders’s supporters are wont to do, implied that he is bought and paid for by his corporate masters.But the trillions of dollars in unspecified savings are not the only magic asterisk in Sanders’s plan. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budgetruns the numbers and finds that, even if you accept Sanders’s assumptions about his savings at face value, his plan would still fall several trillion dollars short of covering its expenses. The analysis also notes that Sanders would have to raise the top marginal tax rate to about 85 percent, which is above the level that economists Peter Diamond and Emmanuel Saez (who strongly support higher taxes on the rich) believe maximizes revenue. That is to say, Sanders would tax the rich at rates so high that even liberal economists suspect they would discourage work and raise less revenue than expected.
5.
Minimum wage: WSJournal 2-5-16 “The evidence
continues to roll in: Broad increases in the minimum wage destroy jobs and HURT
the working class Americans they are supposed to help.…Jobs, salaries and
benefits INCREASE when businesses thrive. If you want to give the working class
a path to the middle class, adopt policies that free up businesses.
6.
Under Obama, record poor economic growth, huge
expansion of government meddling in business (regulations,) more businesses fail than start, record #
Americans gave up looking for jobs, most new jobs low paying or part time, 50%
college kids cannot find full time work, Bernie will make it even worse!
