I loved that he brought those receipts on stage and even anticipated that question of "how will you pay for your plans" to come up.

It was good. He's doing pretty good rn.
He didn't have a good answer on 60 minutes, but it seems his staffers came together and fixed it. Just in time for the debate too.

Speaking of, is anyone else of the opinion that all roads lead to Pennsylvania in the upcoming General Election?
Florida has more delegates of course, but I think it it will be surpassed in importance by Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
If they could only pick one, which state should Trump and the Democratic nominee put the most time and resources in?

Yes, I would say Pennsylvania as well. As close as the electoral vote will be, a win in Pennsylvania will be critical for him to stay in.

I don't understand this.
This one is pretty straightforward; itemized deductions are a slew of personal expenses you can deduct for various reasons, state and local taxes being one of them. Capping them at $50,000 means the maximum deduction would be $50,000 across the board irrespective of source.
Overall, I think Bernie's plan is a solid one aside from the concept of a "wealth tax"; I am strongly opposed to any tax that isn't based on income, including property taxes, because they are taxing the principal rather than the production from the property; e.g., someone could end up being taxed more than the income from the asset generates (which itself is taxed). I would especially encourage scrapping any of the measures involving a wealth tax because it will lead to nothing other than capital flight.
I am also concerned about the Green New Deal taxes; I support removing any subsidies for fossil fuels but these sound like punitive taxes which I also disagree with.

I imagine to hit this cap a family would need income over $130K or so ..?
A consistent Emissions Tax would be preferable, but I'm guessing it would also hit ranchers and dairy farmers.
"Generating $6.4 trillion in revenue from the wholesale of energy produced by the regional Power Marketing Administrations. This revenue will be collected from 2023-2035, and after 2035 electricity will be virtually free, aside from operations and maintenance costs"
Taxing electricity while at the same time attempting a massive rollout of new renewables seems counterproductive.

This means in reality an absolutely Bernie blow out victory because Max Boot is wrong on everything and possibly the dumbest man in DC.
They aren't really worried about bernie losing. Considering what chris Matthew's told people (vote for trump over bernie), they're afraid of him winning the most

Of course not. But considering the bad stuff that the Nazis did, you probably shouldn't be praising them just because they had anti-smoking programs.
