you too silly rabbit...that is if you make over 28,000 a year. If he is able to raise min wage to 15 an hour, someone working a 40 hour week would make 31,200, which means they will see a raise in taxes also. Funny as fuck. Give you a pay increase only to take it back with taxes. You Bernie folks need to do the math and stop walking around with blindfolds. Nothings is free in America

That is not a "COLA". What a hoot. :) A COLA is a Cost of Living Adjustment. I get one every year regarding my pension, albeit very small these days with such a sluggish economy.

We're not headed into a recession. We're in it. Just ask the middle class who never climbed out of the recession.

The 2015 FICA rax rate was and still is 6.2%. That's $3,100 annually for an income of $50,000. I paid FICA since the early 60's.

The medicare portion is 2.9% plus a surcharge of .9% for those working their asses off and making "too much". Again, "the rich" is paying most of the taxes being collected as opposed to the prevailing RIU have-not's propaganda. 2.9% of $50,000 is $1,450.

the question was Medicare rate (not FICA) which is 1.45% (EE portion).

Left-Leaning Economists Question Cost of Bernie Sanders’s Plans

WASHINGTON — With his expansive plans to increase the size and role of government, Senator Bernie Sanders has provoked a debate not only with his Democratic rival for president, Hillary Clinton, but also with liberal-leaning economists who share his goals but question his numbers and political realism.
Mr. Sanders’s plan includes a new, across-the-board 2.2 percent income tax to help pay for his single-payer, government-run health plan for all. But progressive economists and business groups say middle-class taxpayers would pay more for the European-style social welfare state that Mr. Sanders envisions.

Boeing’s $13.2 billion in state and local subsidies is more than its pretax profits for the last two years.

Now China needs the jobs/tax generating more than we do...according to Washington.

While Seattle could be left like Detroit/Flint, perhaps we should have them change the plumbing before they leave town.

I have no problem with Bernie going after corporations or the 1%. What some people fail to realize is his tax plan increases EVERYONE'S taxes. Screw that. Of course the college kids are ok with it. They don't pay taxes and Bernie got them fool into thinking he will get them free college:roll:. Nothing is free in America. That 15 min wage increase only boost you into a higher tax bracket, so your raise will go right back to taxes. Also a 15 dollar increase on minimum wage across the board is going to kill small business. I'm more open to 10.50 - 12.00

Did you see this Sky? Probably not in your regular rotation of news sites.

I can just see a less than graceful halt of the campaign followed by a quick entrance of an establishment dem.

no I didn't see..good catch!

I wouldn't be surprised if this does turn into the graceful exit..

she had a mini stroke as evidenced by her crossed left eye and appearance of glasses to correct during Benghazi hearings.

concussion my ass..petsonally just knowing she has health issues in which she can stroke out at any time is reason enough to not vote for her.
