What Bernie supports don’t get

Where did you hear that ridiculous story, jackass?

The federal inheritance tax has never, ever, ever come close to raising the kind of revenues needed to "pay for a war".

The tax has been on the books for a century now. During most of that time, it has contributed between 1% and 2% of total federal revenues. Currently it generates a measly 0.6%. Can you say "a drop in the bucket"?

The federal deficit has exploded because federal SPENDING has exploded, not because anyone was insufficiently taxed at death.

Obama wanted Assad gone. He’s a puppet for Iran and Russia. As most things Obama did, his support of the rebels was half assed and ISIS grew. Trump wants safe zones and he did crush the Califate. Trump said the Syrian people should choose their leaders, not the US.
