Bernie Sanders has a new addition to his campaign speech. Speaking to crowds around New York state and Pennsylvania in the last week, the progressive Democratic candidate has ratcheted up his focus on environmental issues, specifically talking at length about his opposition to fracking.Last fall, Sanders introduced during sweeping legislation to ban the extract of any fossil fuels on federal lands, but in Binghamton, New York on Monday, the Vermont senator went even further, proposing a national ban on the controversial natural shale gas extraction technology.“In my view, if we are serious about safe and clean drinking water, if we are serious about clean air,” he said. “If we are serious about combating climate change, we need to put an end to fracking not only in New York and Vermont, but all over this country.”And there goes a lot of the domestic oil production.Say Hello foreign oil imports once again.LINK 4951

I just ignore the miscellaneous ramblings of a senile idiot (Feel the Bern!).  A life spent living off the public in politics is what gives people these types of beliefs.  4951

If he were elected the people who voted for him, which is mostly youth, would be screaming bloody murder when they start making a half decent wage. Not fair to tax people that much more. Flat tax is fair. We all pay the same share. BS crippling people financially who work harder or have more responsibility. This is the main complaint from Nordic countries like Denmark. Top earners feel punished. Barely afford a car why most rides bikes. 4951

Flat tax doesn't seem fair either...lot of difference between 15% at the poverty line and 15% at the top 1%. At least now there's some benefit for those folks to spend money to save money in the long run.
 
Who knows though...Ol' Bernie hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in Louisiana though. 4951

@beastmode: I don't plan to pay taxes any longer but I definitely don't believe in a flat tax. To me that means either people are going to pay a whole lot less or be billed for more than they can afford.
I worked my entire life paying a higher tax because I made more money than most of my friends and neighbors (because I worked an average 84 hour work week)!
Now, we want a flat tax that is going to mean less revenue? Thus less money for my senior years.
Scr@w that. Tax the s--t out of them!
If we're going to cut anything anywhere, cut congressional paychecks and benefits and increase their taxes to make up for their mismanagement of the tax system.

@Safety44: That is just a piece of the taxes you pay....we get nicked on everything we do.  Just look at the break down in your phone bill as a sorry example.

@ET: I've maintained three households for over thirty years. Plan is to eliminate all three of those and rent a house overseas.
You would be shocked at the reduction in costs which are a large amount of said taxes.

Not tracking on how a flat tax is unfair. No property tax, sales tax. Just 10%. No more no less. Fed then hands it back to the states based off of revenue they brought in and also takes their cut of 10%. Never going to happen but I can dream. The government would get put on an extreme diet which they desperately need.    4951

I think the Fair Tax is interesting. There's a whole website set up about it. 4951
