Why?

Sanders Admits Health Care Plan will Increase Taxes on the Middle Class

Despite repeatedly claiming that his social programs will be paid for by “the 1%,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt) admitted that his newly unveiled health care plan will require the middle class to pay more in taxes.

The only important thing that happened during the Dem debate.

[waterboarding-deactivated201705]

He is garbage.

[thechurchofbobsaget-deactivated]

but but but the 1%!!!!!!

[t0natiu]

Ok hold on, I actually just read the article and it actually seems the people who said “oh he’s garbage” or whatever didn’t actually read what they reblogged.

His plan involves increasing taxes, yes, but he’s also planning to do away with private insurance premiums. You’re actually saving money via that plan, so ultimately better off financially. Put simply, private insurance premium going away means all that money back in your pocket. Then, you pay SOME of that money to taxes. Taxes go up, BUT you’re paying less than you’d have paid the private company. So yes, you’d be paying more taxes, but in total your expenses go down by thousands.

Read the things you reblog, dammit.

[communismkills]

Uhhhh

You literally admitted he says he wants to increase taxes.

[laurababora]

oh boo hoo, you pay a little bit more in taxes. how else do people expect shit to get done? -_-

[communismkills]

… Really?

[doomy]

oh no my taxes are going to be more

and people nationwide will stop suffering from lack of healthcare 

and maybe ending poverty will take a step in the right direction

and maybe private insurance companies will stop gouging people 

and hey I’ll actually have a net positive after all this since it saves me money in the long run

and hey maybe we’ll be on par with every other 1st world country on the planet

and hey maybe parents will call the hospital when their kids are sick instead of waiting it out because their insurance rates are too much for them to afford

but

oh no my taxes are going to be more

[whytestallion-deactivated202511]

Same rhetoric as obamacare. Premiums are up, coverage is down, but hey. At least everyone….no wait.

Government run healthcare is the biggest croc of idiocy alive today. Medicare, medicaid, obamacare, all failures. All dying. But juuuuuust one more right? This time it will work!

[doomy]

so what r ur opinions on minecraft?

[lavenderharmony-deactivated2025]

So… The NHS…

[leembutt]

Guys, Sanders is asking for a 2.2% health care tax hike to cover health care costs. If your household is earning $70k a year, that’s $1,540 a year in extra taxes.

There will also be a payroll tax levied on employers of 6.7%. Assuming the entire cost is passed on to workers (and I guarantee you it won’t be - customers will also pick up part of the tab), that’s an extra $4,690, bringing the total to $6,230 a year.

Obamacare average household premiums were about $16,800 in 2015, and are still rising. That’s at least 2.7 times higher than the tax hike (a highly conservative estimate), and will probably be higher as health care costs continue to rise.

You will not need to pay for premiums in a single payer system. You’re literally saving over thousands of dollars a year if you’re a middle class citizen, and even more if you’re a working class citizen.

There are plenty of other examples of nations that have implemented a single payer system, and their citizens are paying significantly less than Americans.

Do your research before complaining about taxes.

reblogging for hard numbers

[punk-bot-deactivated20240519]

Reblogging for hard numbers. This is what George Carlin meant when he said that the owners of our country don’t want an educated populace - they want people just smart enough to do the shit work, and just dumb enough not to know how badly they’re being screwed over compared with the rest of the civilized world. Everyone who whined “but TAXES” and “he is GARBAGE” is a living example of how this plan is working out for the owners of our society, the 1%.

[aura218]

tldr: You pay 2% more in taxes but save $1000’s a year in insurance premium. You will pay $0 for insurance premiums.

[ink-phoenix]

I am Italian, born and raised in Italy, and now live in the US.

I can guarantee you that GOVERNMENT SUBSIDED HEALTH CARE WORKS EVERY FUCKING WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. He had four major surgeries, chemo, radio, hospital stays, constant check ups. From then till the day he passed away in 2011 (after a three week hospital stay) we paid MAYBE about a grand? or two? shit I can’t even remember it was SO FUCKING LITTLE. 

I dont know how the fuck anyone can expect a society to work without paying taxes, nor I do understand why taxes are a-okay when they fund COLOSSAL MILITARY SPENDING, drones, wars, or MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET, but you suddenly have a problem when it’s about BETTERING THE GODDAMN COUNTRY.

Hundreds of plumbers travel to Flint to help out for free

Hundreds of plumbers from across the United States traveled to Flint, Michigan, to help out embattled residents on Saturday. It’s a heartwarming episode in what has otherwise been a nightmare saga for the city of 99,000. The plumbers’ work could be a game changer for Flint residents.

[balkan-trash]

Let’s emphasize that these are Union plumbers okay?

UNION

Members of the same unions politicians claim are trying to steal your money

The same people who are accused of being lazy and cheaters just because they refuse to work for free

Let’s remember this next time a politician wants to cut Union rights. Without unions, we would go back to Victorian labor conditions, as evidenced by places unions have been shoved out of.

France's Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Shops To Chants Of 'Gas The Jews'

France’s politicians and community leaders have criticised the “intolerable” violence against Paris’ Jewish community, after a pro-Palestinian rally led to the vandalizing and looting of Jewish businesses and the burning of cars. 

[fenrismp3-hasmoved]

Listen.  I love my followers and my mutuals dearly.  You know how occasionally I post something like ‘every Jew on this site has a list in their head of who reblogs what and who ignores posts about Jews’?  I’m talking about this shit.  I have been seeing things on my dash about the situation of Jews in France for over a year, but it’s coming from other Jews 99% of the time.  Please stop ignoring this.  This is literally history repeating itself and we can’t be the only ones calling it out again.

Wait, does rapper B.o.B. really think the Earth is flat — or is he trolling us?

After claiming to have watched Felix Baumgartner’s famous Red Bull Stratos jump from the edge of space, recording artist B.o.B is furiously tweeting everything science says about the Earth being round is a total lie. Why is he doing this? We have an idea.

Follow @the-future-now​

[micdotcom]

Update: Neil deGrasse Tyson has joined the fray to lay the scientific smackdown on B.o.B.

Tyson sent the rapper multiple tweets disproving him and then things got personal.

[micdotcom]

Update: This feud is getting weirder and weirder. B.o.B released a new track “Flatline” on Monday, that takes a few shots at Neil deGrasse Tyson. “Aye, Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest,” the rapper spits. “They’ll probably write that man one hell of a check.”

And then Tyson fired back with a diss track of his own. Really.

The astrophysicist enlisted the help of his nephew Stephen J. Tyson, who is apparently a rapper. Tyson delivers the facts at B.o.B. over a Drake beat.

[micdotcom]

Update: It got better. Neil deGrasse Tyson apparently wasn’t done educating B.o.B. Here’s what happened on The Nightly Show:

You need to hear the crowd’s reaction to this.
