Hey friend, you do know that Sanders IS a socialist right? And you did watch the Socialist, I mean DNC debate didn't you? Wow, some folks are pretty naive.
How much do you feel is "fair" enough for the rich to pay? They already pay high taxes so that YOU don't. Why do you believe in discrimination? WHY???

Discrimination: treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit

Making anyone pay higher percentage of their income than others is DISCRIMINATION. Sorry, but if you want the rich to pay half their income, then you must pay half your income.

And as far as living in a trailer ins concerned, done that. And I did that while supporting a family with children. So, don't try that one on me. I worked three jobs at once to dig myself out of debt. I didn't have a socialist president that gave the OK to walk out on my obligations. And now I am here in the Villages. On top of that, I served my country, before and after I married. So, without further need of justifying my remarks, where do you get off telling me that I don't' know something? I have no idea whether or not you had the guts or patriotism to serve your country. I wouldn't know and won't ask. I don't suggest to you that you haven't lived poor like myself and then raised myself out of it, to later make six figure incomes. But yes, I do scorn those that want to take from someone without permission to give to another. I have no problem if you want to donate your income or time to the needy. That's your choice. But, I do know that if you look at statistics, you will find that most of your large donations to charity are from the conservative wealthy. It's easy for liberals to be charitable with someone else's money. After all, we have more than we need....at least according to you.
Socialism and communism are not one in the same. They are two different animals. I am not sure what war you could have fought a socialist adversary.

Discrimination is against the law. A graduated income tax is not against the law. If it was, don't you think that someone, or some group would have sued the federal government by now, and forced the Supreme Court to rule on it?

If everyone paying the same tax rate is your idea to stop discrimination, should everybody be paying the same property tax no matter what the value of their house is? All speeding tickets should be the same amount no matter how much over the speed limit you were traveling. Car insurance should be the same for everyone no matter what your driving history is. You get the idea.

I assume that you are a Christian. What happened to the rule "that we should help those that can't help themselves". You give the impression any social or tax program that helps the needy is only put forward by the Democrats. Republicans would rather die than give the needy a penny.
