That math explains why you think we can pay for Medicare for all and a Green New Deal by just “taxing the 1%.” All countries with these massive entitlements tax the middle class far more than we do. Be honest with the 99% and tell them you want to raise their taxes.

I may not be a great mathematician, but I did learn in elementary school that 99% is a hell of a lot more than 1%. #OrganizeWithBernie

It surprises me that people think the rich will pay taxes. The reason they are wealthy is because they are financially savvy. What makes you think they don't have the money or way to find a loophole to not pay these taxes as well? Once again, the middle class pays.

With the 60% tax rate my wife and I will pay an additional $47K in taxes to save less than $5K for our health insurance. Socialism isn’t great once you bring math into it.

Especially because the top 50% pay 90% or more of all tax.

Medicaid Medicare I understand but the green new deal that’s just a money pit ! It’s a con job unless the other big countries get on board with this

We’re borrowing another trillion dollars to pay for the last tax cut. I probably just missed your tweet standing up for fiscal discipline on that.
