The Bernie Sanders Filibuster

[gello 201]

I only tuned in at the end. Did he make legitimate points the entire time?  
Cause i heard he was on for hours and I figured he was reading from War and Peace.

You can defer to a colleague, but you have to remain standing.  Also, you're allowed water, but you can't eat any food.

Watched for 3-4 hours while I was doing other things...

Spent the whole time on topic or topics that relate to the topic at hand

I would have just started reciting Waka Flocka lyrics and adlibs at one point.

Bernie Sanders is an idiot. He knows those tax cuts of Personal Income Tax rates don't even touch those in "Corporate America", the people he's talking about don't even make their money in an actual salary. They have a base salary which usually low and they receive bonuses (in which they find away of avoiding paying taxes on anyway). Wall Street makes their BIG money off dividends which is only taxed at 15%. Raising the Personal Rate doesn't tax or hurt the "rich", it taxes productivity of small business owners.
