Most Bernie Sanders Supporters Aren't Willing to Pay for His Revolution
- Thread starter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you can go in and cut wasteful spending then it's doable. I'm willing to bet there is billions of dollars out there being spent silly that can be cut.

This seems like an assertion based on assumptions, instead if anything factually based. What are we talking about with employer sponsored? Looks like the prices listed are pretty much employer subsidized. It's also not calculated for a family of four either.
Where is there any indication that Sanders' supporters wouldn't want to pay that much, if everyone gets covered? Is there any tallying of the lowering of overall costs if people don't wait until the emergency room for care that would likely be preventable? Why not calculate those massive savings into the overall cost.
Looks like an overarching troll piece to me.

you actually think a democrat is going to cut anything?

Bernie has already pledged to cut the oil subsides, which are not needed for the wealthiest industry of all time. That's 16 billion right there. If we get them to close tax loopholes and a lot of other corporate subsides/tax cuts, paying for many of his plans are simple. He's already name checking plenty of companies not paying their fair share, making them his enemies. I don't see how he doesn't follow through, knowing they didn't do shyt to help his campaign.you actually think a democrat is going to cut anything?

breh when you actually become president things change, that's why Barry-O went to war in Libya after his entire campaign was spent talking about getting out of the ME
No ad homi but op reppin: tinder networking seminarsNow onto the actual article lets begin by talking of the source: Vox, whos largest shareholder is Comcast Invests $200 Million in Vox Media
It seems to me that Vox has a vested interest in seeing Bernie not be elected, especially since the Bern went after the Verizon CEO this week.
The polling itself is also flawed because simply going up to people and asking them if they would like an increase in their taxes would produce a very expected result; no one wants to be taxed more, but if you work out the math at the dining table most Americans would benefit from Sanders plan.
Now the actual math:
Doing away with deductibles and premiums would result in a net gain for the average American.
The kicker for all of this? the analyst that claims Sanders plan will cost twice as much as his campaign estimates is Kenneth Thorpe: He was Appointed as Deputy Assistant Secretary in President Bill Clinton's cabinet, he had a central role in coordinating President Clinton's health care reform proposals.
If it's wasteful then yes I believe Democrat republican me you it doesn't matter who should cut it. Pretty basic concept. People like you always trying to take an easy idea and over complicate it. Always holding progress up.you actually think a democrat is going to cut anything?

i'm not the one in power breh
just saying though, what have the Dems cut in the past 8yrs?
even the republicans haven't cut much, our government wants to grow in power, they aren't cutting shyt
The idea that employers are just going to pass on that 6.2 employer tax charge to employees is pretty funny. If employers could pay you less than they are right now, they would. There's no reason to believe that shyt.

They're surprised, yes, but doesn't mean they'd not pay for it though, or still support Sanders. Anything in its infancy is going to be expensive. There's a lot of inefficient items and waste we have to calibrate and remove. It's not like Reagan completely cutting the top tax rates in half drastic.

This is a story that comes out literally every six months about every politician left of Milton Friedman.
Americans as a whole both want more services and to pay less taxes. They also want less military intervention and a stronger military, and immigration reform making a path to citizenship easier while also wanting less immigration. And oppose islamaphobia while supporting a ban on Muslim immigrants.
And vox is a neoliberal hell hole full of dorks that mainly consists of articles with stolen graphs and "I spent 40 minutes reading Wikipedia, here's what you need to know on the TPP" analysis.
