    I believe those are the types of scenarios we have to consider. So to hedge against paying too much tax at a given income level, we must establish the cost of living, decidedly set the income tax percentage, and determine how many income brackets there should be. What's to say we don't need more than the current 7? :)

    I think there should be plenty to do both what you're talking about and subsidize a comfortable existence.

    Las Vegas debate was interesting, entertaining

    South Carolina debate was very irritating, all shouting over each other, all ganging up on Bernie

    Bloomberg with the low blow to Bernie about Putin

    Ugh

    ?? I don't get this line. Could you explain? How are your groceries paid for in that scenario?
    And...
    Do you actually want this? I would think and assume not, but also don't see how onceburned concluded that. Yet, I also don't see you go against it.

    How so?

    I'm just wondering how what onceburned stated applies on France according to VG. Is there a meaningful thought behind this? I guess not if he doesn't clarify. But lets be clear VG, if you get completely left behind in these convos at some point (and im getting there), and chronically called a troll, just take the plain reason given: it's because how you (not) answer such questions after making a curious statement. I gave it a try. You ruin it for yourself.

    The moderation was terrible
    And they spent too much time discussing pointless talking points rather than real issues.
    And the seats cost anywhere from $2000 to $3500 if anyone was wondering why Bloomberg kept getting cheers and the other candidates were booed so much

    $3500 seats in a state with such horrible poverty

    I didn't know you had to pay to attend a debate. Seems to go against the very concept of democracy

    This sounds really weird indeed. What's the official reason given for it?

    $3500 dafuq?

    To me that particular debate, the way the the others carried on, just made me side with Bernie more, he's a good speaker

    I think what I'd like to see is a social program to help Americans pay for groceries. It could be paid for with tax revenue. We have low income programs that offer money specifically for grocery stores, but nothing for middle income families.
    @onceburned is being sarcastic in my opinion. He is saying that by wanting a higher amount of taxation that I'm letting the government dictate my lifestyle. I don't think that by implementing extensive social programs we lose any freedom at all though. Perhaps he will provide an example, or maybe he has seen others talk about "big government" in a similar fashion and he is repeating on cue.

    He's not a bad fellow. He'd just literally be that guy Trump was talking about shooting on 5th avenue. And if was only a flesh wound, he'd be saying we were overreacting.

    Did Trump Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?
