ELECTION 2020

It would be nice,  if he was touting about using money the government already has,  rather than coming up with new ways to tax us.   Bernie's tax plan is not fair, period.

I get that the common folk love the idea of taxing the rich, but the common folk need to realize that  rich is an illusion sometimes.

For example,  a entry level engineer in New Hampshire can expect a starting pay of around $60,000.00.  That same entry level engineer can expect a starting pay of around $85,000.00 in California.   Why?  COLA.   Everyone knows the COLA in California is much higher than most of New Hampshire.   California Has a sales tax, and an income tax.  New Hampshire has neither, yet, according to Bernie's Tax proposal, dude from Cali is going to be in a higher tax bracket and pay more in taxes than the dude from NH.   How is that fair?

Also,  why does this government have so much damn redundancy?   I was reading an article the other day about trump putting infected people on a plane.  The article mentioned no less than 7 different government agencies, all with the word "health" in their name, as being against what trump did.  All well and good right?   Except why do we need a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the CDC, the WHO, national preparedness of health & human services, infectious disease institute, Etc.    The only 2 names I actually recognized were the CDC & WHO.  I didn't know that the others existed until I read the article.   To me,  (and yes I know I'm a narrow minded old bat)  the redundancy in the federal government is ridiculous.  If we got rid of the redundancy, that money could be used for healthcare, instead of new taxes.
