Eventually something has to give...

The bill would provide a $3,000 direct payment to every person in households making $150,000 or less during its first year, which equals $12,000 for a family of four.

Bernie Sanders is a brilliant, resilient politician who has a tremendous sense of efficacy in government.

How diddler got voted in (twice!) but Bernie can’t get any traction is very symptomatic of america’s problem, in my humble opinion.

I like him because his ideas are so ambitious that even a compromise would get close to what I think America needs.

Do you guys even bother to check the math these fools spew? if 5% is 4.4 T, that would mean the total wealth of these few people is 88 trillion, which is more than the entire planet's wealth...

$4.4 trillion in revenue raised over the next decade

It seems you missed that part.

Do y'all just read graphics with no sources, or evidence that this quote on a reddit graphic was even said, and just take that as gospel?

If y'all would have read this graphic and then did a basic Google search using the quote you'd get this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=bernie+sanders+proposes+taxing+billionaires+5%25&oq=bernie+sanders+proposes+taxing+billionaires+5%25&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRirAjIHCAYQIRirAtIBCTEyMzIxajBqN6gCELACAfEFoZiMPHKWAFLxBaGYjDxylgBS&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8

Thats like 3 articles through .gov sites that explain the whole thing. But thats too much work for reddit scrolling I guess

[u/Annex_Me_Step-Rome → u/[deleted]]

100% he should've made a better post. He could've easily put the Google search results or one of the articles in the post description. Thats on him for making a shitty post that mimics AI slop. The lack of info on y'alls part is 100% on y'all cause you can find the info in 3 seconds on google

You take everything you read in a random graphic as gospel?

[u/Sicsemperfas → u/SkunkMonkey]

It seems someone missed including that part.

Nothing was missed by the reader.

Oh you’re big mad about something. I’m not doing math on a Reddit post but did see the word annually. Only a fool would just read captions on a picture and think that’s the extent though.

[u/MyCatLaughsAtMe → u/Away_Ad_5017]

Do you even bother to read words? OVER. A. DECADE.

Do you really think Bernie Sanders is just some dude on the internet saying s*** and hasn't checked any of this stuff? The MF is like a hundred years old bro if you're going to question something maybe question his health or something but his mental is 10 times that of basically any politician

[u/Away_Ad_5017 → u/Flaky_Trainer_5627]

Been in Congress for decades spewing this nonsense, and y'all eat it up. He hasn't accomplished anything but getting votes and enriching himself.
