Thanks for the link and cogent response. 9/10 jobs lost does seem extreme. First off I would like everybody to make more money.

But humor me for a minute. It says 15 an hour is 31K and 34k a year happens to be the top 1% of the planet for income. And while Bernie wants to take from the 1% of the USA (sounds like a real familiar pitch I heard starting in 2007 from another guy…Twice) I wonder if that is really even possible to enforce. If this is a major tenant of Bernie’s concept, these supposed 44% or whatever the percentage is, (I guess less because these people are trying to get up to 15 an hr) of US workers should be paying more of their money in taxes to support the other 99% of the people of the rest of the world right? I just don’t see how anybody thinks Sanders can do a better job for the economy than Trump, and no one has been able to show me otherwise yet.

I don’t have a problem with the illegals that snuck in here staying either. I agree they will reap benefits from our system and perhaps more of them will pay taxes and maybe someday the taxes they pay in will equal or surpass the costs they incurred to existing tax payers. But counting them as a key point for how we energize the economy for the people who are here legally and have paid taxes all their life and might have less access to work because of it, seems like a stretch to me my friend. My idea that Bernie would tax us to pay for the world is fanciful I know, but when we are paying for illegals that’s kind of what we are doing already.
