Just think of it! People over $250k paying an additional 37% of what they make over that amount? In NY and CA, they are, probably, already paying 30+% on that counting federal, state and local taxes. Over 60% of income over $250k would be a tax. Anything over $10 million would be taxed at over 80%. I can't think of anything better!!
That's unfortunate.
if that were posting here, the Banhammer would be banning the **** outta that.

30%? More like half, or more...my sister lives in an 1800 sq foot house in Westchester county NY and pays $24,000 a year just in property taxes.

I love how they both have these big plans to further subsidize college tuition...free for everyone, debt forgiveness...yeah. Free for some, paid out the wazoo by others..meanwhile the more the government subsidizes tuition the higher the rates go.

2 areas over the years that have gotten more and more government subsidation and have had growth rates in excess of inflation. By a good margin . Healthcare and Education. It ain't a coinky-dinky.

UPDATE:
Bristol Palin has now slammed Ted Cruz's campaign for saying a Palin endorsement of Trump would damage Palin's brand -- and she says she hopes that her mom endorses Trump:
ADVERTISING
Cruz’s flip-flop, turning against my mom who’s done nothing but support and help him when others sure didn’t, shows he’s a typical politician. How rude to that he’s setting up a false narrative about her!
America doesn’t need that. We need someone who has a vision for economic prosperity, who won’t let us get kicked around in the world, and who will fight for our future.
I didn’t go to Harvard Law School, but I know this: You can like two people in a race, but there will only one president.
The audacity to suggest that because she chooses one over the other will somehow “damage” her just shows arrogance.
You’ve also said, “She can pick winners!” I hope you’re right, and that she endorses Donald Trump today for President.
Sarah Palin promptly tweeted out the article.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
Rumor has it that today, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will endorse 2016 Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in Ames, Iowa. Evidence of this proposition comes in the form of flight plans, which have a private jet leaving from Alaska and landing in Des Moines, Iowa, before continuing on to Tulsa, Oklahoma – both spots where Trump will be campaigning. The Cruz campaign is serious enough about the rumors to send out Rick Tyler to CNN to explain, “I think it’d be a blow to Sarah Palin because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life…”
The friendly relationship between Palin and Trump has been somewhat of an open secret for months. Back in September, Trump met with Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Palin the day after the Cruz-sponsored rally against President Obama’s Iran deal. In August, Palin interviewed Trump. In July, Palin wrote of Trump at Breitbart, “The elites are shocked by Trump’s dominance, but everyday Americans aren’t….Trump’s unconventional candidacy is a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians who campaign one way and govern another. But it’s not just how Trump says it, it’s what he’s saying….More power to you, Donald. Here’s to ‘Making America Great Again’!”
Palin’s endorsement of Trump comes at the worst possible point for the Cruz campaign. Any earlier, and Palin’s endorsement would get lost in the shuffle. Any later, and Cruz’s latest line of attack against Trump’s conservatism – his truest line of attack – would have made headway. Palin stops the bleeding for Trump. Here are the top five reasons Palin’s endorsement matters a whole heaping lot for Trump:
1. Palin’s Endorsement Means Conservative Support for Trump. Trump is not conservative, as I’ve pointed out repeatedly. He takes a hard line on immigration and his tax plan is excellent, but he’s all over the place on abortion, same-sex marriage, and foreign policy. His lack of specifics wouldn’t be bothersome if he had any central values to which he owed allegiance, but he has no such ideology. Instead, he’s a politician of convenience. Cruz has been blasting Trump for that; yesterday, Cruz stated, “Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate.”
Palin, however, is considered hard-line conservative, certainly one of the most ideologically pure conservatives in the movement. All Trump has to do now, in patented Trump fashion, is say to Cruz that Palin’s endorsement shows she trusts him as a conservative – and shouldn’t that be good enough for everyone else, including Cruz?
2. Palin Endorsed Cruz In 2012. In May 2012, Palin went over the heads of the GOP establishment to back Cruz in his insurgent Senate race against establishment favorite Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. In endorsing Cruz, she stated:
Your conservative principles, passionate defense of our Constitution and our free market system come at a time when these cornerstones of our freedom and prosperity are under attack. Our shared goal isn’t just to change the majority in control of the Senate, but to assure principled conservatives like you are there to fight for us.
Palin utilized her grassroots support to help push Cruz over the top in Texas. That puts Cruz in the awkward position of having to attack one of the key conservatives who endorsed him.
3. Palin’s Endorsement Blunts Cruz’s “New York Values” Attack. Cruz hasn’t just attacked Trump for his leftist values. His now-famous “New York values” assault on Trump rested at least partially on the image of Trump as a big city insider, a real estate mogul who didn’t know squat about the people living in flyover country. Palin is flyover country – that’s what the left despises about her. Her endorsement of Trump gives him enough “country” feel to help him turn back the growing perception that he’s a New Yorker through and through. Moreover, because Palin has her finger on the pulse of those outside the Beltway, she has the ability to help paint Cruz as out of touch, a high-IQ Princeton type.
4. The Palin-Trump Axis Unites Establishment With Tea Party. All week, there’s been brewing controversy about whether Trump draws support from establishment candidates or Tea Party candidates. Earlier this week, National Review reported that House GOP establishment leaders prefer Donald Trump to Ted Cruz. And it’s clear that Senate Republicans prefer Trump to Cruz – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-TX) harbors a particular disdain for Cruz, to the extent that he refused to put forward a sense of the Senate resolution that Cruz was a natural born citizen. So, the establishment prefers Trump to Cruz – they feel he’s more malleable. Cruz was prepared to use that as an attack. But Palin stepping in changes all that. Now Cruz will have a rough time making the case that the establishment prefers Trump, when one of the leaders of the Tea Party endorses Trump – a Tea Party leader despised by the establishment.
5. Palin’s Endorsement Helps Trump Directly In Iowa. Palin lent her name to then-Senate candidate Joni Ernst in Iowa in 2014, and Ernst won handily. In 2011, when Palin spoke in Iowa, 2,000 people showed up – and she helped undercut the candidacy of Texas governor Rick Perry with a speech in which she bashed “corporate capitalism.” Trump has good numbers but little ground game in Iowa. The question in the caucuses is always one of enthusiasm – and Palin brings that in droves for Trump.
So, the Palin endorsement matters an awful lot to Trump. If she does indeed endorse The Donald today, that puts him in commanding position two weeks from the primaries. And if Palin's endorsement does put Trump over the top, that should be a ringing rebuke to the Tea Party movement that supposedly based itself on belief in the Constitution rather than star-power leadership.

"Are you ready to make America great again?" Ms. Palin said with Mr. Trump by her side at a rally at Iowa State University. "Are you ready to stump for Trump? I'm here to support the next president of the United States - Donald Trump."
She gonna be VP?

Great endorsement, but I think if he picks her for VP he could be in trouble.

Now all Trump needs is the Honey Boo Boo and Kate Plus Eight endorsements and he'll have the trifecta of train wrecks.
He won't pick Palin as VP. That was just strategy to ensure he wins Iowa. She's easy on the eyes but her voice makes my dick turtle.

Yeah, that's wonderful. He's 10 points behind Hillary in the general while Rubio and Cruz are neck and neck with her. But we're just going to keep on picking losers I guess. Even worse, he's 15 points behind Sanders.

There's other polls that him beating her or within a couple of points. Once he gets the official nomination he'll jump way ahead of her busted, ugly ***. Crazy Bernie's not even a threat. He would kill off what's left of this country.
That's disappointing. All I needed to read is this.....

If they're for him, I can't be.
