13. Seriously. I'd like to use the same, not something random from Google, that YOU used.

Not an unreasonable request.

I've looked at a few sites they seem to point to this same calculator.

I just want to see if I get similar results. Of course, it completely depends on where the extra taxes go. I hope it goes to social and welfare programs. If it goes to the MIL and to Wall Street bailouts, then I'll disagree. Nonetheless, Thank you!

17. Using your calculator...

... and making a few assumptions, it appears that I would (hypothetically) break even with Hillary, and pay $16,490 more under Bernie. Trump would save me $6,620. Still voting for Hillary.

I want to see if my financial inputs match up in the same calculator the OP used. Not an unreasonable request, no?

Since he's going to get all my money, it'd be nice to get a little something in return.

I think it's a right wing product designed to scare people. It's a gimmick.

15. I've seen the same type of calculator in other elections

We're top 10% incomes...so I know we are fortunate...
but we are already supporting my elderly mom and putting the last child through college and helping my daughter whose income took a dive after divorce.

Can't afford it.

18. This is one major reason Bernie would get his ass kicked by Trump or Cruz

And you notice the Bernie faithful on this site and everywhere else on the internet NEVER discuss the HUGE tax increases Bernie's plans would require.

Not only on the rich and big business/wall street, oh HELL NAW but on the middle class and the working class and the poor, EVERYBODY!

Trump or Cruz would DEVASTATE Bernie in the GE on this subject alone, not to mention all the other areas in Bernie's career that he hasn't been vetted on.
