    LOL, as opposed to Trump supporters who follow his directions to punch people out, presumably to return to the days when "those people" were "carried out on stretchers, folks."

    Sounds like the Tax Foundation's Taxes and Growth model is based on turds harvested from Bullsh!t Mountain. No credible evidence has linked higher tax rates to lower GDP growth, which means their "projections" are a figment of their assumptions.

    Really? I just plugged my household income into the calculator. I don't know the math that they use, but just looking at a lot of the stated stuff I can believe it.

    My family is dual income and we are already in a pretty high bracket. We both work 60-80 hours a week at high stress corporate jobs. I'm in a Director level at a hi tech firm and my wife is a Tax Director at a small O&G company, so combined income is pretty high

    The marginal rates between 250K and 500K increase pretty dramatically, and we have a good chunk of income in those levels. Additionally, a pretty good chunk of change that comes from passive income and capital gains in investments all of a sudden gets taxed higher as well...not to mention higher payroll taxes across the board.

    Removing the cap on social security payroll taxes from 118,000 really nails the crap out of us too. It all adds up pretty quickly to 38,000 or so in additional taxes. The Hillary number was like only 2800 more. Likewise, I'd save huge amounts with either Republican plan.

    Still didn't answer my question. Why are Sanders supporters so violent?

    Pointless question. The answer is probably that a certain percentage of pretty much any population or group will be violent.

    The bigger question and one that actually is relevant to the presidential race, is
    'What are the candidates positions on their supporters violence?'

    or 'Are any of the candidates encouraging violence from their supporters?'

    Those would be questions that are actually relevant to the race for president.

    Too bad that video has nothing to do with the candidates. Why are you so hesitant to talk about Trump's position on violence from his supporters?

    We know Bernie's position on violence from his supporters. He's definitely against it. He's come out against it.

    Trump is far from coming out against it. He's actually encouraged it, and offered to pay the legal expenses of his supporters who engage in violence.

    Okay, but not really relevant when he encourages violence amongst his supporters. That is the actual issue.

    Which guy is that?

    He's not an official in the Sanders campaign.

    Again, look at the candidates.

    Bernie Sanders has come out on record against violence from people who support him.

    Donald Trump has offered to pay legal expenses for those supporters that use violence.

    The difference is plain, but you keep trying to make excuses about it, and change the subject to some supporters of Sanders who acting out against the candidates express wishes and sentiments.

    So someone who isn't affiliated with Sanders in any way. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Meanwhile back to the candidates we see Trump who shows his love for protestors by paying legal expenses of those who he encouraged to attack and physically harm protestors at his rally.

    I'm happy to agree with and talk about Bernie's position on violence from folks that claim to support him.

    He's in California, at the beach talking to young people, they don't have to to be Bernie fans, they can be Hillary fans or not even be involved with politics, a lot of young people hate trump, Hispanics and Blacks especially since they find him to be racist and a threat to their people. They hear the sound bites of his racism on social media, they watch the videos and read his quotes and are rightfully apalled.

    Having a racist president is a threat to all minority groups.

    He's on record as saying he opposes any violence.
