    You ain’t kidding an embarrassment. When EBT is accepted at kid targeted fast food places and the NFL has Play 60 commercials that encourage inactive video game kids to go outside and play it’s no wonder child care in this country is pathetic. Childhood obesity is the root cause for the majority of this country’s 50 and younger generation’s health problems.

    Here’s a lifetime of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems in the making.

    I bet this kid will be prescribed over $100k in medication before he reaches the age of 50, if he lives that long. Now that’s embarrassing.

    You realize that you quoted income and not wealth, right?

    No it's close to 51% which is when the gov gets more than what i get. You should have studied math better than you did law.

    Source for this statement please?

    I'll reiterate your statement, as to not edit your original statement: That medicare for all tax plan would be a net benefit to my middle class income of approximately 10,000$ a year.

    So you would inflict on the rest of the country, what is beneficial to you, regardless if it is beneficial to anyone else, or their wishes on the matter.

    Do you not see a problem with that?

    Except that it isn’t, it’s going to our bloated military, farmers on the dole, corporate tax cuts, and fraud throughout the government.

    Well, you can say that, but may I put to you the opposite side of that coin. How many Republicans seem to think that tax cuts pay for themselves???

    Jerry Rubin came to a nearby university here in the South back in 1972 to a Viet Nam protest. In his speech and started to system how we, the left wing, would have to establish early cold education so we could get the children away from the parents influence and indoctrinate them in the new left wing doctrine.

    We ran him off campus.

    You're saying the same thing, we need to do this to get the children away from their parents so they don't raise them but we the left wing government does.

    All the billions we have spent on Headstart and by the governments on exhaustive studies it fails to give children a "headstart". There is no measurable difference between kids who attend and those who don't.

    Agree with the term "pay for themselves" few. Are aware of the actual history of tax rate cuts and resulting increases in revenue? Most. How many Democrats are aware of that?

    Actually I didn't say what I was wanting to say. That idea is that spending boosts the economy.

    Think about how much growth we could have with those trillions of dolors hitting the economy.

    We had more dollars and the taxpayers had more dollars to spend. After the Gingrich/Kaisch tax rate cuts tax revenues soared 10% and helped produce the budget surpluses. After the Bush43 tax rate cuts tax revenues soared 15% and helped create the falling deficits down to a measly $161B.
    This is about ANOTHER huge spending plan by Sanders on top of all his others with no way to pay for it and one we already knows fails to help the kids academically so convence me why it is good to take kids from their parents?

    Are you arguing that people who choose to do something shouldn't be responsible for the consequences of their actions?

    No wonder you are a lefty.

    My sourcing is based on Bernie's 4% tax proposal after 29k of income compared against the annual premiums for my current healthcare plan.

    And yes, I see the benefit of a healthcare plan that saves me - and millions of others like me - money while also saving the federal government and hospitals money through the reduction of administrative costs.

    Ideally we will move to a society where you don't need to work in order to pay for food, healthcare, and housing. That you will be free to work because you want to work or free to pursue some other hobby because that is what you want to do.
