Possibly the 4th or 5th time I’ve chased this argument across this article...

Well, I suppose to make things clearer, Vox could have included a box for “Your current yearly health insurance cost”, and split the difference for you. But I can’t help but feel that would be getting a little bit too hand-holdey for functional adults...

That is far from the only tax increase under Bernie’s plan. To say otherwise is so damn misleading.

Yikes...I guess I’m not voting for Sanders anymore. I’m already paying a LOT in taxes. What people do not take into account with their tax burden is what you also pay in sales tax, state income tax, property tax, vehicle licensing tax, gas tax. There is a TON of taxes! Why should I have to pay more than what I’m…

The President doesn’t have the authority to issue tax rates on command.

I'd like to see an analysis of Bernie's tax plan from a source that is not actively campaigning for Bernie.

100% agree. I’m a single guy, own my own home (NOT cheap), here in Portland Oregon, very expensive place to live for some reason now (it isn’t that nice), and I make about 53k a year. Sanders wants to increase my tax liability by an additional $5600 a year. I never go to the doctor, have no kids, use no public…

That clearer picture is still very very bad. That’s a drop in the bucket for my increase. I pay about $3500/year in insurance premiums, and maybe a grand at the outside above that in a bad year for medical stuff. My increase under the Sanders plan would be more than four times that amount as a single person, and more…

No one does. The old phrase everyone learns in economics class applies very well here: “there is no free lunch”. Money has to come from somewhere. Sanders’ plan calls for tax increases across the board, but higher increases for the “rich”. Everyone will be paying more in taxes, unless you have no reportable income.

That Bern everyone is feeling is their money catching fire.

What it doesn’t do is include all the medical spending in your baseline. Throw in your premiums, your employers share as well as all medical spending you have after insurance as a “tax” that you currently pay, and the picture is a lot clearer.

Millennials with zero income. And maybe those of us who fit into his exact criteria, which is again, only millennials with no income. If Sanders wins, be ready to live on bread and water.

Okay I just went in and said that I was a single mom of one making $40,000 a year and Sanders would still increase her taxes by over $5k/year. What gives? Who qualifies as poor for his plans?

Totally. Seeing my annual tax increase by 50%, even with a reduction in health expenses and tuition, is still scary.

The Sanders bar for me (as a single, and even worse if I marry my boyfriend) is legit terrifying, and that’s coming from a tax-and-spend liberal. It’s an increase in my tax burden of 50% more than I’ve ever been able to save in a year. So I’d be making a really good income to live even more paycheck-to-paycheck than I…

This thing speaks for itself on so many levels. And of course it's causing an uproar wth sanders fans...I love it

VW salesperson here. As you can understand, this whole ordeal has been A FUCKING NIGHTMARE to anyone that has to try and sell any kind of VW after this debacle, TDI or otherwise.

In my area of town it’s the opposite. Lots of Obama bumper stickers and dirty diapers in the parking lot. I don’t know which is more disgusting.

Make a hybrid or EV version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
