But if below (i got in e-mail) true, then not-good, or un-good, or bad, as in forget about the stock market

--fake news, then also ungood as indication of social tension--

yep.

"...But Sanders didn’t call for a 52% income tax rate for those making $29,000 at the debate, the transcript
shows, or elsewhere that we could find... In one document posted by Sanders, he suggested a potential
marginal tax rate of 52% on income above $10 million — meaning taxable income earned after the first $10
million would be taxed at that rate..."
