Viewers Who Rely on MSNBC for Their News, . . .

I disagree with you. I believe both sides of the media pander to their base to the same degree. The exstence and degree of this bias dependes on which side you sit on.

Kevin, how much money could we distribute to each American if the top 5 billionaires spread their money to the masses?

I have no idea, because I don't have personal access to the asset profiles of the top five billionaires in the US.

 

What's your point? Something stupid?

Nope. False equivalence again.

 

Anyone with the remotest degree of objectivity would realize that the bias exhibited by conservative media far exceeds that exhibited by the liberal media. I've seen FAR more outright lies from Fox News than I have from CNN. And you and any other right-wing extremist who reads this can just say that I'm biased to think that. But I can tell fact from fiction.


Kevin believes that the rich can pay for all, yet he doesn't have a clue how much the richest could potentially give to Americans.  Here you go.

The top 15 combined could give away well less than $3000 per American..............once.

According to IRS data all the millionaires on the US have a combined income of $3.2 trillion. 

At a 100% tax rate there still won't be enough money to pay for all the freebies the Democrats are planning for. 

I haven't seen a Democrat say they will pay for all the freebies exclusively with millionaire money.     More importantly, I haven't seen a Democrat say Mexico will pay for the freebies.   Too bad - history shows such a politician is likely to earn Tom's vote.

 

Socialist Tennessee figured out how to give two years of free college to their citizens which begs the question....is Tennessee going to turn into Venezeula?   Or do the stewards of our current trillion dollar deficit suck at budgeting?      

 

 

So where is the money coming from?

 

All they talk about is taxing millionaires (above the level the candidates are making) & billionaires. 

 

The Democrats talk about eliminating the tax cut, but it is obvious that is not  going to cut it.

Your evaluation of "their plan" is about as accurate as your evaluation of their  "92 trillion dollar green new deal" which you made up and wanted to talk about.   

 

Biden just wants a public option thats available and paid with the same insurance premiums you pay for private insurance.   That and negotiated drug prices.  

 

Sanders plan is a public-only option thats paid by taxes on everyone in lieu of the insurance premiums you pay today.

 

In neither case, is all the money coming from taxing millionaires as much as the shortbus crowd wants to portray it as such.     What else can I help with today.?

 

Oh - and uh - here's Trump's healthcare solution as described in a recent town hall.    Be forewarned - There's alot of rambling and "erring" and "ahhing" and not much else.  But it sure is going to be awesome    And I'm sure Tom will pull the lever for it like he did last time.

And lest we forget, Republicans contribution to lowering healtcare costs since Trump took over was keeping all of Obamacare while removing key components that paid for it.    One of several reasons why their stewardship has put or deficit where its at

 

Have a great day!
