In reply to the discussion: See how much Bernie's tax plan would affect you...Vox Tax Calculator [View all]shadowandblossom
(718 posts)27. It hits pretty hard even if you're well below the poverty line.
with 2 kids and living paycheck to paycheck, and not making it on what you have. I tried putting in 12k and it says that it would add $730.00 to their taxes. That's a junker car for somebody who may not even have one for themselves. For perspective, Clinton's plan charges that person $0.00 additional.
If you have no kids it's almost a thousand at 12k.
I'm going to go see what it charges if you're one of those evil 30k a year oligarchs...
