If this proposal ever passes, there's many a millennial and trust fund beneficiary who would be upset to discover their hero Bernie took away 45% of the inheritance they counted on.
And those among them who planned on inheriting and carrying on a small family business would be in for a rude awakening.
Bernie's plan is the same policy as Hillary Clinton's plan. Let them support Trump then.
Quote:
Clinton wants to reduce the threshold at which estates are subject to tax -- to $3.5 million for individuals or $7 million for married couples, down from $5.45 million and $10.9 million currently, according to a campaign news release. She’d also raise the estate-tax rate to 45 percent, from the current 40 percent. The changes would be a return to the way the tax operated in 2009. President Barack Obama and other Democrats have proposed similar adjustments.

I feel your pain. Well, not bad enough to go Trump.
I've voted in 11 presidential elections and have yet to find a candidate with whom I agree on all issues. Best case is, there's one whom I agree on most and whom I think is competent.
For me, 2016 is one of the easiest ever to decide. I want a Democrat because of the whole SCOTUS thing, so then there were two, and then there was no contest at all.
I suspect you're a troll but it's been a good thread nonetheless.
Two problems with him for you is that his massive tax breaks for the wealthiest of Americans would lead to hundreds of thousands of elderly, disabled and mentally ill falling so deep into poverty that they would just be living out on the streets. So more local crime is likely and you need to pay for more security measures as you build your castle to wall yourself out. The alternative to these cuts is national bankruptcy.
Another issue is that he shows all signs of being a sociopath. I dont know if we have ever had a full blown sociopath as president before. It would be quite an experiment.
