does that mean colleges will be more picky about who they except?

his "free college" plank revolves around community colleges, so I don't think so

your income tax doesn't go up unless you make +250,000 iirc
i really, REALLY might have to cast a vote for Annoying Orange because the TPP and TTIP scare me that loving much, that is, if bernie doesn't get the nomination.
its looking awfully likely he wont.

2,383 to win

the media's skewed this nomination cycle quite a bit (not surprising considering time warner is a donor to the clinton foundation) by grouping superdelegates in with regular delegate counts to give the impression that bernie is hopelessly behind
do note that most superdelegates are not pledged yet, so clinton's massive lead is a phantom (supers take their pick on convention day). that's not to say clinton isn't leading him in regular delegates, but that's a different story

So if I make 250k I should basically be fined for it

that's not at all how that works, maybe you should learn how the tax system works before complaining that people are fined for making lots of money
once you hit 250k income, your entire income is NOT suddenly taxed more. if you made $250,001/year, only that last dollar would be taxed at the higher rate
