I love when rednecks complain about tax hikes for the wealthy like it will ever affect them. You are a redneck. You are stupid as fukk. You work in the shoveling shyt business. That's your life. You might as well have good healthcare to go with it
:picard: @ the idea of human beings looking at themselves like this.

Progressive income tax rates.
Revenue raised: $110 billion a year.Under this plan the marginal income tax rate would be:

  • 37 percent on income between $250,000 and $500,000.
  • 43 percent on income between $500,000 and $2 million.
  • 48 percent on income between $2 million and $10 million. (In 2013, only 113,000 households, the top 0.08 percent of taxpayers, had income between $2 million and $10 million.)
  • 52 percent on income above $10 million. (In 2013, only 13,000 households, just 0.01 percent of taxpayers, had income exceeding $10 million.)
for the money this is raising it's not worth killing this bill on sight over these tax rates.

increase the percentage paid by employers and especially employees to make up the shortfall. a family of 4 with a household income of 50k paying $37 a month gives you enough room to increase how much they are paying. depending on what the co-pays and deductibles are, $100 a month could be considered a bargain.

John Conyers has introduced a Medicare for All Act every year since 2003. This is just political manuvering and a way to get Dems on record with regards to where they stand on this. The tax hikes are probably whats going to sink this thing, besides a Republican house and Senate. A good step forward however. But this can't be some sort of national litmus test if the party wants to regain footing in some of those deep red districts. Regaining ground means more Joe Manchins and Claire McCaskills I'm afraid.
