Under Bernie's insane plan I would have zero disposable income. Hooray!

The concept of "income" will be gradually phased out during a Bernie Sanders presidency. All money shall be distributed through the Party's Financial Services Committee only.  Trump supporters will be sent to the gulags, and Hillary supporters will be sent to the collective farms. Bernie supporters get full Party Status along with the perks of membership, including but not limited to: the right to vote in the single party elections held once a decade, a monthly stipend for a single object of entertainment (reminder: books not authored by Marx or Lenin must be pre-approved by the Party's Entertainment Committee) along with a small sum for a foreign food product that isn't state produced at the farms.

ITT: "Democrats" spouting Red Scare nonsense even conservatives would blush at.

Okay they included the payroll taxes on everyone to pay for healthcare - 6% or a little more per guy.

But you will be paying 0 for healthcare, 0 for college with a 1T infra plan n stuff - Pretty amazing deal if you ask me!

You can't compare only taxes - Trump & Cruz have to take away Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid & a n new report said even in Trump stopped all foreign aid with these cuts he will still have cut Dept of Education, DOJ, FBI & almost every single federal programme. Just basic costs & military will consume his budget.

Anyways for people under 250K there is 0 Income Tax increase - The entire 6% odd is coming for the Payroll tax for Medicare for all - Which is unlikely to be ever passed by the House, so you would likely see 0 increases anyways!

That seems reasonable.  It does not raise tax on the first quarter million dollars of earned income.  After that, it graduates upward to the pre-1986 rates, more or less.

This is with a ~$53,000.00 salary (single and childless):

Donald Trump: -$3,920.00 less
Ted Cruz: -$3,510.00 less


Hillary Clinton: +$60.00 more
Bernie Sanders: +$5,770.00 more (even with his calculator, I would still be paying around $4,400.00 more)
