That is a great reason for tech minded people to vote democrat

Tech or any other minded people should use their own brain to make a decision.

btw. voting for 'democrat' in US nowadays means voting for socialism. One can certainly do that, but one may want to read a book or two to learn what socialism is.

If you have a job that pays well, think again. If the Democrats win, you will be giving most of your earnings to the government.

Bernie Sanders has already said he believes there should be a maximum a person should make.

Don’t confuse socialism as practiced in the USSR and its satellites with the “democratic socialism” practiced in Scandinavia, just because they have some of the same words in their name.

Top brackets would have to be well over 50% for that to happen. That doesn’t seem likely regardless of the outcome of the coming election.

Bernie Sanders has advocated for close to 100% taxes for top brackets in the past.

None of the Bernie Bros on this site either want to believe it or to admit it.

The shitty behavior of the Democrats and the push to full blown Socialism has pretty much forced me, my family, and all of my friends to vote Trump in 2020.

You'd only see tax increases if you make more than $32 million per year. I'd imagine that none of you, your family, or your friends have been "forced" to vote Trump in 2020 - you're just afraid to admit you support him, and are trying to pin the blame on Bernie.

Part of being a democracy is that one person doesn’t hold absolute power to set tax rates or switch us over to “socialism.” Why do you think electing Bernie is suddenly going to get all the other congressional representatives to go along with completely changing the way government and economy work?
