John Hinderaker: More Bullshit From Bernie

God Damn It, I Know My House Is Around Here Somewhere

John Hinderaker: More Bullshit From Bernie
Bullshit. What does Sanders want to do about the fact that the people who founded Facebook have made a lot of money? Prohibit innovation? Limit the number of people who can access popular web sites? Make it illegal to sell advertising if the owners of the web site are already rich? 
The only "remedy" he can come up with is higher taxes, but America already has the most progressive income tax regime of any developed country-more progressive than Sweden, Denmark, you name it. 
And yet Democrats like Sanders keep telling us how awful things are for most Americans. 
Maybe we should try lower taxes on the "rich," since the world's highest taxes evidently haven't worked. 
By the way, when Democrats talk about rich people, they always use Mark Zuckerberg-a Democrat, no doubt-as an exemplar, but when I read the fine print, I always find that they mean me.
