Look at item six in this post, where I proposed a war surtax on top levels of income tax then, which was an idea that I had on my own earlier. I'm guessing that many other people perhaps came up with similar thoughts though too. In any case, if so, I'm happy to have contributed to his strong platform!

this was actually the very argument given to justify the income tax enacted in 1909, ratified a few years later.

A war tax on the rich, on those who earn from the chaos and killing, is appropriate.

It makes me sick how the media reports on him like he has no chance of winning or he is not meant to be taken seriously.

It really pisses me off, the mainstream media.

So did the only "I" in the Senate... Jim Jeffords.

Both are a surprising vote....

I suppose the Independents feel a manufacturer should not be sued over the misuse of their product. I guess.


I'm not sure what this has to do with this thread. That Sanders doesn't always vote the way you think he should? He surely isn't responsible for the situation of the article you linked to.
