I understand that he helped Marx co-write it. Karl was his young protege!

Bernie has said that no one will be able to earn more than $1 million/ year.
That should prove interesting when its applied to Pro Sports and the Entertainment Industries.

I see the Dem ticket as BLOOMBERG/BUTTIGIEG. Check back late summer.
If anyone else wants to post their exacta for bragging rights, go right ahead.

As with the earlier attribution in this thread, this is something Bernie said in the early 1970s..
In the 50 years since, he's kept the free healthcare but dropped the $1M/yr cap and the legalized hitchhiking
https://www.politico.com/story/2015/...th-2016-213364
Quote:
“There is absolutely no rational reason why, in the United States of America today, we could not have full and total free medical care for all,” he said in 1972.
“This nation and this state of Vermont are owned and controlled by a handful of people who are using the wealth and productivity of this nation for their own selfish economic gain, and to hell with everyone else,” he said in 1973.
As he struggled to pay his bills in Burlington as an on-again, off-again carpenter and freelance writer — he was on unemployment for a few months in 1971, too — he traveled around the state in his rickety Volkswagen Beetle advocating for a higher minimum wage, unlimited unemployment compensation, heavy taxation on the most well-off people and companies and a radical redistribution of wealth.
He described big businesses bouncing from state to state for tax breaks as “corporate economic blackmail.” He proposed a ceiling on what any individual could make and keep. “Nobody should earn more than $1 million,” he told the Burlington Free Press. He even called for the legalization of hitchhiking. “Hitchhiking,” he explained, “is an important means of transportation for people who lack cars.”
“He was really concerned about the have-nots … and how their interests might be represented,” said Martha Abbott, who’s known Sanders since the ‘70s.

When did he formally abandon the idea?

New Hampshire rallies:
Mayor Pete - 1,800
Trump - 12,000 (line started forming 35 hours early)
Bernie - 7.000
Biden - 100 tops!
And those 100 were old people with walkers who were still trying to get out after Bernie left!

I heard him say it the other evening in a New Hampshire speech TV clip - $1 Mil/year cap!
Tell that to LeBron.

New name, same idea, albeit tweaked a bit to dupe the obtuse..."Wealth Tax." Plenty to find about it on the Internet.

Joe "John Wayne" Biden is going to mosey out of town early and not stay for the results in NH.
Talk about rolling over and playing dead.

I suspect that Bloomberg figured Uncle Joe wasn't up to the task which is why he threw his hat in the ring at such a relatively late date..You don't get to a 56 billion dollar fortune (and not a SINGLE bankruptcy  ) by not being able to anticipate trends.

Hard to have a bankruptcy when you get your money tax free from China and Ukraine. And your boss, the POTUS is helping you do it.
