He wants to tax the upper class 90 percent because they have more to give, and therefore more can be done with tax dollars.

And I think it's like 40 or 50 percent

He freely admits to being a democratic socialist. Socialism is not Communism, and I don't know how being socialist makes you a"de facto communist." Care to explain?

Ok:
Bernie Sanders believes in a free market with taxes on the rich and wealthy companies rather than state-run industry.
Under Bernie Sanders, leaders would be chosen democratically and not be dictators.
In Bernie's socialism, the rich are still rich, although they pay more taxes.
Bernie Sanders wants to reduce the number of people in jail by making sure people don't have to commit crimes just to survive, not throw/kill people in jail unnecessarily and excessively like Stalin.

Bonus round:
The USSR wasn't Communist!!!!
" I would also like to know what entitles you to even one more dime of my income, you greedy Socialist pig."

First of all, when did I say I supported Bernie Sanders/Socialism? Secondly, ad hominem attacks aren't the way to argue if you expect a respectful response, so i'm going to imply something about your mother now to teach you a lesson about insulting people you don't know anything about. I will let you form your own, unbiased opinion of socialism, since I don't like to tell others what to believe unless debating with them about controversial matters, in which case I do it respectfully and civilly.

In my universe (the real one) the USSR was run by socialist dictators claiming to be governing based on the ideas of Karl Marx. In true communism, all industry is run by the people, there is no government, and everyone works for the betterment of society. In no major country has this been accomplished. Bernie Sanders does not want a state-run industry. Also, in what way was Bernie Sanders "power-mad?" I looked up what he did as the mayor of Burlington, and it seemed as though as he were just trying to help the working class.

Now, again, this is not an argument about whether his policies are good or not. I just want you to form your opinion based on facts. However, if you continue the ad hominem attacks against me, I will cease this effort. I'mont sharing my opinion: I'm trying to share facts.

All right, then. I see you do not wish to base your opinions off of facts. In that case, goodbye and good luck to you!
