And unless you make over 250,000 your taxes won't increase.
Not true. A policy or proposal should be strong enough to stand on its own merit. Your lying about it undermines the message Bernie Sanders is giving. Taxes will rise for all in a variation of forms including capital gain taxes and a tax to subsidize universal health coverage which includes those under $250,000 earned income.
Source: The Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy research organization, found that Sanders’ plan would lead to 10.56% lower after-tax income for all taxpayers, and a 17.91% lower after-tax income for the wealthiest Americans. When accounting for reduced GDP, taxpayers would see their after-tax incomes fall by 12.84% on average, the report said.
A better argument would be that Bernie Sanders tax increases would be a wash because of the benefits it supposedly would bring: For example an increase in taxes would be offset of the medical coverage it provides, etc.
The rest of your argument is opinion with not a single substantiating fact.
I should have rephrased: You tax brackets would not change unless you are making over 250,000.
Yes you would see a slight raise in your taxes to pay for healthcare, BUT you would not be paying thousands for healthcare premiums as well as lowering medical costs. So I would say on Healthcare, it would be more than a wash, it would be a net gain.
As for the rest yes I suppose it's largely opinion I would be curious what part you consider incorrect. Bernie is an FDR democrat compare the two. Him being described as some "radical" only flies in the US where both parties are massively more right than the rest of the industrialized world. Anywhere else he would be considered moderate.
There has been no proof trickle down economics benefit anyone but the already wealthy. I tend to believe there is a reason most economist favor "liberal" economic policy over the typical tax cuts for the wealthy approach of the GOP.
