 Bernie Wants You to Pay His Fair Share

Picture
If only the rich paid their fair share, we could have all kinds of shit. I mean, have you seen how much money some people have? It’s obscene. That’s the whole problem, some people have too much, and others have too little.

Let’s take Bernie Sanders, for instance. That sum-bitch makes a cool 200 K a year. And baby, that’s a lot a K, If you dig my meaning. He supposed to pay…..like….35% or something in taxes. What’s he actually pay? 13.5%, that’s way, way less. Less than half, even. This means that Bernie is one of the bad guys. Yep. I bet you’ve heard Bernie’s followers say that. Right? Of course not.


Have you heard that Bernie rides Uber, but says Uber is troubling because they cut into the taxi company profits? And taxi companies pay huge, I mean huge fees for the right to have taxi licenses. In New York, it’s more than a million dollars for one driver’s taxi medallion. And you wonder why taxi companies charge forty bucks to drive you a couple of miles? That’s why you can’t afford a damn taxi. It’s why granny has to walk instead of ride, because of those astronomical government fees. It’s also why only rich folk can ride in taxis. But hey, the government makes out, while you walk and granny struggles to get home from the grocery store.


​You ever wonder why college costs so damned much. How do you think Harvard can afford to pay the would-be socialist senator Elizabeth Warren 365 K for teaching a single class? I mean, being a double minority (woman/Indian) requires big money. Even if she’s not really a Native American and lied publicly over and over again about her traumatic experiences as a Native American living in the bigoted USA. She’s a faux Indian, just like Bernie is a faux socialist. When it comes to his money, that is. When it comes to your money, he’s a tried and true, blue socialist. 

What is good for thee, is not good for me. Or, do what I say. Not what I do.


​What else can I say, but, grow up America. Grow the hell up.
