Opinion of Bernie's Income Tax Plan?

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

My problem with Bernie's tax plan is that, like the spending plan, I don't trust him and his "experts" to actually get this sh_t right and will just end up creating a needlessly expensive tranche of new programs that everyone will get pissed off at and then elect Republicans who cut it all.

I don't necessarily mind higher income taxes on the highest earners (imo the 2013 tax hikes weren't enough), or even the elimination of some credits that reduce taxable income in the first place for lower brackets, but an additional payroll tax to pay for Medicare for all (something I don't think is necessary to provide universal healthcare in the first place) is unnecessary.


Like the rest of his proposals for other taxes and spending, his proposals are just what clueless liberals masturbate to thinking northern Europe is like, not how it actually is. He promises all the goody-goodies of Europe without acknowledging the very real downsides of some of these programs and systems.
