Ladies and Gentlemen
The 46th President of the United States of America
**********Bernie Sanders**********
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home!
I doubt Bernie will live till 2025. But nice fantasy.
Good one. We all know Yang is the only one that can take on our God King Trump
Let alone to the end of his first term, in 2029
A lot of scootie Puffs and pre scootie Puffs in that pic. The scootie Puff lady has a handlebar mustache
Bernie is going to STOMP that fat orange faggot face
Bernie barely recovered from a heart attack, user
He couldn't beat Hillary so QED you're a fucking retard
What's he pollling? Is it even a whole number?
Good, we need more post offices and roads renamed.
Sorry, let me balm those eyes for you
>46th president
>1st cuck
One of these things is true
>protip: its 1st cuck
4-5% I'm just saying he is the only one that can take apart the Republican base along side the Democratic. If Yang doesn't get it - it will be Trump again
>baby's first politician
imagine being the person who votes for anyone else
>President
kek, there are no more presidents. Trump is King now, elections and democracy are a thing of the past. Deal with it libtard.
Who is bloomburg for 200 Alex.
A look inside the minds of the Bernie supporters.
>Imagine thinking categories are questions on Jeopardy
fucking retarded
Sorry we were looking for Andrew Yang. Vermin Supreme the next question is for you
No way. Dems would lose what little credibility they have if they went with their
Own billionaire. Wont ever happen
>average trump supporter
I hope they find these people and actually put them on a slow boat to Russia when Bernie gets elected. Let's see how long they last.
Im the guy who votes against his own interests and the interest of his family
Bright days ahead - the guy on the news said so
Bernie... the guy who literally went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon. The man who stated he would never say a bad word about Soviet communism. That Bernie?
Stay mad.
The top 1 percent pulling away
Income growth has also become grossly unequal within the top 5 percent, with the distribution of market income most heavily concentrated within the top 1 percent of households by income. Between 1979 and 2007, real income rose cumulatively by 240.5 percent among the top 1 percent of households by comprehensive income (which includes government transfers and employer-provided benefits), versus 71 percent for the 95th–99th income percentiles, 55.3 percent for the 90th–95th percentiles, and 40.6 percent for the 80th–90th percentiles. This compares with cumulative income growth of just 19.2 percent for the middle fifth and 10.8 percent for the bottom fifth of households.
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data measuring comprehensive household income show that the top 1 percent of households captured 38.3 percent of total income growth between 1979 and 2007, more than the collective income gains of the bottom 90 percent of earners (36.9 percent).
Fake conversation
Gay too
The role of capital income
This trend of lopsided income growth is true of both labor income (i.e., wages and salaries) as well as broader measures that include investment income—capital gains, dividends, and business income from S corporations and partnerships. And the rise of capital income as a share of total income—at the expense of labor income—has greatly contributed to the rising income share of the top 1 percent of households by income. Capital income is heavily concentrated at the top of the income distribution, with roughly 75 percent of the benefit of the preferential rates on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends accruing to the top 1 percent of households ranked by income (Toder and Baneman 2012).6
The share of overall income (as opposed to income growth) accruing to the top 1 percent of earners rose from 9.6 percent in 1979 to 20 percent in 2007; of this 10.4 percentage point increase, 3.4 percentage points, or roughly one-third of the increased share, would not have occurred without the shift toward capital income away from labor income (Mishel et al. 2012).
We should take a step back and feel pity for the Bernie supporters. Hillary and the DNC fucked him out of any chance at the nomination in 2016, and the DNC is doing their best to fuck Bernie out of the nomination in 2020. They're not even hiding it this time. They're changing the rules on the primary caucus that serve only to promote other candidates over Bernie. Just wait till the super-delegates come into play again.
That said, I hope he somehow wins the nomination. Imagine Bernie defending socialism in a debate. Lulz.
Your daily reminder- Bernie Sanders is part of the 1%.
Bernie Sanders, YOUR next President.
YOUR President.
Equalizing effects of the tax and transfer system?
During the period from 1979 to 2007, government tax and transfer policy did not effectively push back against this sharp market-based rise in inequality, and by many measures the tax and transfer system has actually exacerbated pretax inequality trends, creating even less equitable growth in post-tax, post-transfer income.
Changes in post-tax, post-transfer income shares generally track changes in market income shares.7 CBO data for the post-1979 period show that both market income and post-tax, post-transfer income shares have risen for the top 5 percent of households and fallen for the bottom 95 percent of households (Mishel et al. 2012). For the top 1 percent of households, a 9.7 percentage-point rise in market income share is closely tracked by a 9.6 percentage-point rise in post-tax, post-transfer income share. For the 40th–95th income percentiles, changes in the tax and transfer system have, on average, cushioned the declining shares of market income, whereas post-tax, post-transfer income shares have fallen by even more than market-based income shares for households in the bottom two-fifths of the income distribution.
That changes in post-tax, post-transfer income shares are driven, at least in direction, by changes in market income suggests that meaningfully curbing inequality growth would require more than increasing the progressivity of tax and budget policy; policies would need to directly or indirectly slow the rising share of market-based income accruing to the top 1 percent of households.
Accounting for the effects of taxes and transfers, U.S. income inequality, as measured by the Gini index, rose 33.2 percent between 1979 and 2007 (see Figure A). In terms of only market income the index rose 23.2 percent, meaning that roughly 30 percent of the rise in post-tax, post-transfer inequality between 1979 and 2007 can be attributed to changes in the redistributive nature of tax and budget policy. It is still the case, however, that shifts in the market distribution of income are the primary factors driving the rise in inequality.
Declining progressivity of the tax code
Since the end of World War II, U.S. top individual income tax rates have declined markedly, as have effective tax rates on corporate income, capital income, and inheritances. Consequently, the federal tax code has become much less progressive (Piketty and Saez 2007). The top statutory marginal tax rate has fallen from just over 90 percent in the 1950s, to 70 percent in the 1970s, to 50 percent in the mid-1980s, to 35 percent for most of the past decade (TPC 2013a). The taxable income cutoff above which the top rate is applied for married joint filers has also fallen precipitously, from roughly $3 million in the early 1950s (adjusted to 2012 dollars), to roughly $1 million in the early 1970s, to just $388,350 in 2012 (TPC 2013b).
The top federal income tax rate stood at 70 percent in 1979 and averaged an even higher 80.6 percent between 1947 and 1979 (TPC 2013a). By 2007, the top rate had been cut in half to 35 percent, and it averaged just 40.8 percent between 1980 and 2007. Causality aside, distinctly lower top marginal tax rates were in effect during the period of rising income inequality as opposed to the years of equitably shared growth (1947–1979).
Dreams are great. As long as you don't believe in fantasy when reality tells you something entirely different. This is why the democrats melted down after the 2016 election. It never entered their minds that it was even POSSIBLE for President Trump to win.
I would recommend you start now and consider that he will win re-election.
And just as the divergence of income growth has been most striking within the top income percentile, the decline in tax progressivity in recent decades is most striking there as well, as depicted in Figure C. There has been a remarkable convergence of effective tax rates within the top 1 percent of earners, particularly between 1971 and 1988 and again between 1993 and 2004, with a recent sharp decline in 2004 as the Bush-era tax cuts on capital gains and dividends took effect. The effective tax rate for the top hundredth of a percentile (i.e., tax filers in the 99.99-percent-and-above range by income) has fallen by more than half, from 71.4 percent in 1960 to 34.7 percent in 2004, versus a decline for the 99.5–99.9th percentiles from 41.4 percent in 1960 to 33.0 percent in 2004 (Piketty and Saez 2007).8
your right,thats all america needs.another jew(sarcasm)
> mfw he can't even beat a rat faced faggot
>deal with it libtard
just like you dealt with obama's presidency? oh right,you didnt.you threw tantrums every second of the day about him just like people are doing with donald trump
now shut the fuck up snowflake
any "economist" who claims u.s. tax rates are low knows literally nothing about the topic
No, not that one. Talking bout the Bernie who never had a job. Who never ran or owned a business. Who has been in Congress for over 20 years and all he did was get a post office and road renamed. You know, the guy who wanted about millionaire then became one and now they OK, it's now the billionaires. The Bernie who preaches about low wages and wouldn't even pay his campaign workers his minimum. The same Bernie who when forced to pay them more, laid them off. That's the Bernie we talking about.
Not my senator let alone president.
You’re gonna end up with mayo Pete.
Please stay home in protest again.
Thx faggot
Be Calm. Hillary and I will be campaigning with Donald and look forward to meeting all Trump supporters to ensure Bernie will be defeated.
ITT
meanwhile,trump supporters are all poor and stupid.but of course,the guy who shits in a golden toilet can surely relate to them
nevermind the conservatives who support donald trump,they are even worse then the ones who arent bible thumpers
knows literally nothing about the topic
>top 1 percent
imagine having enough money to live in a foreign country but still staying in america.LOL,this is why america is a hopeless country
>communism
whats worse,conservatards who call bernie a communist.or libtards who call donald trump a nazi
It's a sad time for the Democrat voter. On one hand, you had the Republican establishment that expected Jeb to become the GOP candidate in 2016 and on the other, you had the establishment on the left that SUCCESSFULLY got their candidate, Hillary the nomination.
The left AND right establishment, despite what they'd say on camera, would have accepted either a Clinton or a Bush in the white house. The same people would attend the same dinner parties and the nation be damned.
Trump winning screwed everything up for BOTH those sides.
And now, their current planned candidate, Joe Biden is sinking faster than Nokia stock. Bernie will get screwed out of the nod AGAIN, and the voters will have to chose between Mayor Buttplug or some other 3rd tier candidate.
Wait, I thought all Trump supporters were all rich fat-cats.
the richest people vote mostly democrat
Oh. I had no idea. Odd, considering the Democrat voter's vilification of the "1%". Care to elaborate on that?
>that expected jeb to become the gop candidate
yet they made a guy who hates the bush family president instead.this is how big of a joke the republican party is
Bernie Sanders, YOUR PRESIDENT.
Well, both the Democrat AND Republican parties are a joke. They're more concerned with maintaining their Washington DC power structure than actually serving the American People. Like I said, both parties would have been happy with either a Bush or a Clinton as president.
NOT MY PRESIDENT
>rich fat-cats
oh right,the "republicans are all super rich" meme
people who support donald trump are just as stupid and poor as democrats
NOPE
hey at least stock market doing well
Fuck this 1% bullshit
Its not the 1% that are the problem its the
0.001% that are the problem
Wtf is wrong with you tards
>mfw america doesnt understand how there own goverment works
donald trump has been the democrats bitch ever since you redneck idiots lost the midterms
maybe if we stopped giving ignorant pieces of shit like you voting rights the country might actually improve for once
>donald trump has been the democrats bitch ever since you redneck idiots lost the midterms
Odd how he was still acquitted.
quote your .001% studies and memes, they are welcome here friend
Odd how the presidents isnt the only person who runs the country.have fun when democrats take over the senate in 2020,and then your orange moron can continue to get fucked by the democrats like he's did ever since the midterms
are you doing your part
Odd how he is still considered impeached
I will think about your wise, unbiased words later when I look over my investment portfolio. I guess my money should have quadrupled under a democrat president instead of merely doubling under President Trump.
>ORANGE MAN BAD!
Like Bill Clinton. Got it.
Yes both were and are forever impeached
these company valuations are totally grounded in reality sure
And both were and are forever acquitted of committing a crime. Got it.
Cool, a hundred more of those and Bernie can buy another sports car. Do you think he'll give you a ride in it?
>I'm a Cuckservative and only we have investments nobody else
With an impeachment stain on their perfect presidencies, bigly
not likely, his greatest opponent is the Democratic party
NICE
I'm glad ALL investors were able to make money these past 3 years. What kind of psychopath would think otherwise? Investments help the economy for everyone.
>Bernie rich bad
>Orange Dumb Fuck Cuck man good
It's been a bull market for 10 years Trump didn't do shit
Mark Zuckerberg and his accountant may both be "1 percenters." But financially, they are as different as the 1 percent and the middle class.
google.com
Yes, of course... the big uptick since the 2016 election is meaningless. I understand now. Thanks for clarifying.
It's between the guy making $300,000, who still feels poor, and the man who made $37 million a day for a year. Both are lumped together by politicians, the media and even economists as "the rich" or "the 1 percent," who are gaining at the expense of everyone else.
.....
Emmanuel Saez, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who is a leading expert on top incomes, and Gabriel Zucman, assistant professor at the London School of Economics and a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, found that the top 1 percent is really two groups.
Bet you wouldnt be saying that of the economy had tanked in 2018
TSLA $900 lol
tesla is a 100B dollar company moving like a penny stock.
your investments are a ponzi scheme, hope you get off the wild ride in time.
Either could Trump
They said the same thing about Google (Alphabet). It's up 2800% in about 15 years.
2.5 million isnt the 1 percent you dumb fucking hick.
>using google as an example to be compared with anything
sage
he did though
Yes it is... Over 300k a year is 1% hence
donated here too buddy! republicans are scared shitless hence all the anti bernie threads hahaha
I'm a trump supporter and I desperately want Bernie to get the nomination. Why would you people think we're afraid of Bernie as the DNC candidate?
bill clinton was not impeached retard
If Bernie becomes President there will be another jew Holocaust and America will become Nazi Germany very quickly. I can't wait.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is this desperate denial, or do school simply do this bad a job educating kids?
pete IS a squeaker
Yes... Yes he was
and maybe scallops will fly out of me pants
Yeah not gonna happen
Pete is gonna lose bad
the end of one term would be 2024 retard
Hell yes, I'm so fucking excited for this.
No, the next president will take office in January, 2025. That term will end in January, 2029.
lol no
the land has a gender?
Ladies and gentlemen a fucking idiot.
There's no competition.
A fake Indian?
Socialist? ... the dnc isn't gonna allow that. Yet.
A fag? Way not ready.
Chink? No way.
Biden? He's just a tool for the lost impeachment.
You have a better shot than this list.
Bernie Sanders, and ALL OTHER dems but one are for reparations.
Andrew fuckin' Yang is the only candidate that is NOT for reparations.
Yang has the toughest immigration policy of ALL dem candidates, the others are very "open border" policy focused.
The Freedom Dividend gives republicans a reason to vote for him - they can spend their 1k a month on the issues they believe matter.
Yang is the One.
You know that for a fact? Provide sauce
That user is also a fag, so it a better chance....
*so not
Honestly i wouldnt mind yang but i doubt he will be close. The dems wont allow it
This nonsense is predicated on the belief that the economy will grow under massive tax increases. History has shown that when faced with massive increases in taxation, investors take their money somewhere else.
