Apsu Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It looks like all 12 candidates will be on stage at the same time for the fourth debate. The candidates who are in the most trouble fund-raising wise are Harris, Booker and Castro. Beto and Klobuchar seem to be languishing without much of an identity. I'm still not sure why Biden is running for president, and I really don't believe he wants the job. This will be Tom Steyer's first time on the big stage. What does he believe in, other than impeachment? Link to comment

I'd say it's fine and even really great to be rich. But it should come with a much higher obligation and responsibility to make sure you are using your excess to help the most who are lacking in the best way possible, and that you aren't getting rich off of the breaking backs of those people. 1 1 Link to comment

Yeah, I was kidding. I would love to be rich! I feel like I would be a good rich person and help out but I guess I don't know for sure. I think we have all done the old "If you win 500 million dollars what would you do with the money" game...I would help my friends and family for sure but after that I am not sure. Link to comment

Apsu Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Yesterday AOC was spotted in Burlington with Senator Sanders. Will there be an endorsement coming? Link to comment
sho Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Thoughts on this? I still think closing loopholes for corporate tax would be better, but I'm not sure I'm opposed to this. I'll have to do more reading on the plan. Quote Sen. Bernie Sanders unveiled a new plan on Monday to levy taxes on companies with huge pay disparities between CEOs and their employees — a proposal that, if passed, would cost Apple $1.4 billion. The Democratic presidential candidate’s plan — the Income Inequality Tax Plan — would raise corporate tax rates on companies with CEO to median work ratios above 50 to 1, beginning with an additional 0.5 percentage point penalty for businesses that pay their chief executive 50 to 100 times more than their average worker. ... The tax penalty would peak at 5 percent for companies whose CEOs earn 500 times that of the typical employee, Sanders’ campaign said. Companies with an annual revenue under $100 million would be exempt from the tax. I can see some other major companies hit, Amazon, probably most major fast food places, WalMart etc Link to comment

Funny though, I don't know one teacher that is all about Bernie...I only know teachers that are for Warren or for Trump. Last time I felt like a lot of teachers were hot for Bernie but it just doesn't seem the same this time around, but again, this is a really small sample size and also just in one area. 1 1 Link to comment
