That's like if you had two cars and the government took one of them. "What do you need two cars for?"

[adwhit]

More like if you had 40 cars and the government said they were going to charge you 90% tax for your 41st.

In other words, nothing like that.

[chrisco255]

No, more like we are going to tax you 90% on everything from that point on. 90% is insane, folks. We don't have the same economy or tax laws today that they had in the 50s. You can't ignore what's changed.

[cakedoggie]

> 90% is insane, folks.

Why? Why is that the magic number that is insane??

[hacking_again]

even clinically, sane vs. insane is a judgment call

400k is not quite 40 cars level of income though. 4 million might be more in that range.

No, it would be like I had three big houses, two boats, and 10 cars. What do I need half of this for?

[jfnixon]

Bernie Sanders has the 3 houses part of it. Dunno about the boats or cars, but he has the houses. Why don't we ask him why he needs 3 houses?

Bernie Sanders has three big houses, a boat, several cars, and multi-million dollar book deals. What does he need half that stuff for?

[foepys]

I don't know. I'm German and how Americans continue to almost exclusively elect millionaires into federal positions amazes me.

[fapjacks]

It's because our system is heavily skewed to reward the biggest campaign spenders.

The people who build houses, boats, and cars might be pretty happy about it.
