Let me just come right out and say it: I love Bernie Sanders.
I love Bernie because he has more guts than any politician I know.
Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know. https://t.co/JZZYMnaiGX
@brianbooone I wanted GA tix but all I could get after an hour of refreshing was row Q and paid nearly $600 for 2 tix bc of “official platinum” pricing. I hate Ticketmaster.
@calliegetsit Presale started yesterday so I’m guessing all tix are gone. It took me an hour of constant refreshing to get my tix and I paid almost $600 for only 2. (Thx ticketmaster)
@dcfc@PostalService Got mine for DC after an hour of refreshing and probably 100 “Sorry! Another fan beat you…” and paid an insane amount bc official platinum was the only thing available. @Ticketmaster is such a joke
A home makes up 62% of the average middle-class family's wealth.
Every year they're taxed on that asset's unrealized gains via property tax.
Billionaires' wealth is in stocks. They borrow against the value at near 0% rates and aren't taxed.
Tax rate
Billionaires: 8%
You: 14%
@octaviamaysg I actually started buying girls socks (size 9-2.5) and they fit so much better than women’s 5-10. Women’s socks are too big for my size 7 feet so the heel was always higher than my ankle when the socks were pulled tight. It’s been a game changer.
Senator Sanders says of his inauguration photo/meme that he’s glad it “makes people aware that we make good mittens in Vermont... we have some good coats as well.”
