A million minutes ago Barbara Bush passed away.
A billion minutes ago Emperor Trajan returned to Rome after pacifying Dacia.

That's a fantastic comparison.

And that's exactly the difference between the rich and the super rich.

Scale matters.

(I honestly dont care that Bernie is rich it just makes me laugh when he rails against the rich like he is some pauper out panhandling...though with that hair it would make sense )

The amount of influence a billionaire has to potentially destroy democracy compared to a millionaire is pretty vast.

A Charlie Kirk tweet? Really? Bummer.

I mean we always knew rube gets his fill of right wing media somewhere

Once again you've missed the point brilliantly. Probably intentionally. I bet the number of Americans who can grasp the difference between a modern event they have a memory of and the Roman Empire they read about in history books is much larger.

So your company will have to find a new way to compensate you for the $20,000 or risk losing you to a competitor. That's rough.

And don’t forget that we’re going to tax dividends and capital gains as regular income and raise the top marginal rate to 50%. So even if the company “keeps” that $20k, $10k will still go to the government so they can , you know, provide health care for everyone while keeping tax rates on the lower brackets fair and reasonable.

I said nothing about corporate taxes.

Re: Demcratic Challengers 11: Saving the Republic one voter at a time!

That bothers me greatly: Hey, let's give stuff away....(wait, I get to keep my stuff, right?)

Not give stuff away.

Use the tax dollars collected by the government for things that will actually help average people. Not just big corporations and rich people.

See the difference yet?

You’ll have better cheaper healthcare, sure.

And now your company won't be paying for your healthcare, so they'll have more money to increase wages.

He's not looking to tax you.

That's not true. According to Bernie himself I'm going to pay more in taxes (and it looks like more than I currently pay for healthcare).

I don't mind paying more taxes, but don't bull**** me.

My bad, I didn't realize you and Rube were the same person.

I'd take under 100 with an IQ over 150.

Anyone with an IQ over 150 is either too smart to subject themselves to being a politician or not charismatic enough to win.
