Briefly addressing the tax hike myth

[SheenaR]

Well, today is tax day apparently. Bernie is going to raise taxes on everyone, middle class, poor, dead, etc. to get his plans paid for

Let's take a look at something....

Take our taxes now.... Now include what we currently pay for:

- Daycare
- College Tuition
- Co-pays
- Prescription Drugs
- Childcare after having a baby
- Nursing homes

The list goes on. Consider these as TAXES

Add all of these together. We in the middle class already pay MORE than what he is proposing in hikes.

Why is this never addressed. It's the same argument against the European model.

Hate to break it to you but we already pay more than them already.

1. i'd rather pay 4000 in taxes than 6000 in premiums

for profit insurance sucks. under Bernie's plan the deductible wouldn't exist. deductibles are almost as expensive as premiums and cost thousands right now.

2. Absolutely! Someone is using the cheapest possible demagoguery

Gee, I wonder who that could be?

3. The so-called analysis by the TPC

is for Sanders entire tax package - not just healthcare.

It includes:

HEALTHCARE (not Health Insurance)
TUITION FREE COLLEGE
PAID FAMILY LEAVE
JOBS BILL
YOUTH PROGRAM
EXPANDING AND SECURING SOCIAL SECURITY
COMBATING POLLUTION THROUGH CARBON TAX

A pretty good trade-off in my opinion!
