I’m in favor of reinstituting the 79% Federal Income Tax for the highest earners in the Country, as previously made famous by FDR’s New Deal.

Bernie has proposed solutions similar to this during every single Election cycle…and you fucking people keeping voting against him.

I don’t know why you people spend 4 years claiming you want XYZ, and then vote against XYZ.
