A couple debates ago Sanders said he didn't know what his tax plan was but that it would be "less than 90%". This 90% number has been widely used against dems.

90% top marginal tax rate was an actual thing in the 50's under Eisenhower.

Isn't this basically Trumps entire campaign? Just sayin'

Also, the fact that Hillary gave an indepth and thorough analysis of foreign policy while trump is literally just giving 2 sentence answers does not bode well for what Trump would actually do as a president.

What someone comes to his desk and says "we have a crisis Mr. President, there is..."

"Bomb them! I'm bored. TRUMP!" *slams door in staffers face*

Wrong. He dumbs down for the audience. Every report and anecdotal piece of evidence actually portrays Trump as a reasonable, calm and gracious man in person.

And hills 10 minute boring answer is why she will lose the debates during the general

No one cares about companies going bankrupt. The establishment tried to stump him with that and failed. Trump U has never been brought up at all so I imagine journalists have tried to pin it on Trump but he had some level of plausible deniability

Yes, he was being humorous. He's saying that his top marginal rate will be much lower than Dwight D. Eisenhower's was. And he actually released a tax plan which shows that the 90% boogeyman is nowhere in sight.

I feel like people nowadays tend to forget that Obama was loving BLACK in 2008 and overwhelming conventional wisdom was that a loving BLACK person would not be electable for decades, at least. Like, it wasn't even an "eh he probably wont win" thing, it was more of like what the gently caress is wrong with you for even giving this guy the time of day kind of thing

Wait, progressive tax brackets don't create a situation where if you barely hit the next threshold you get hit with a much higher percentage?

I'm not american so this is confusing as hell to me.

progressive taxes only apply to money made after a certain amount. if you are taxed 10% for the first 80 dollars, then 20% for the next 10 dollars, then 30% for the next 10 dollars. if you make 81 dollars, only 1 dollar is taxed by 20%. if you make 91 dollars, only 1 dollar is taxed by 30%

nope, if you barely hit the next threshold (say you go $1000 over) then only that $1000 is charged at the higher rate.

the misunderstanding that your total income is taxed at its highest-bracket rate is a viral meme among americans who are full of poo poo
