I really admire Bernie not taking special interest money and trump self financing. Keeping special interest out of the process should be a reform us as Americans should embrace

i'm just saying that raising taxes isn't a 100% socialist endeavor. reagan raised taxes 11 times (though in total the cuts exceeded the raises). reagan also absolutely ballooned the debt and was never able to get it back under control, which is what all those raises were basically trying to do. bush sr also raised taxes. i just don't get this world view where any kind of tax increase is some kind communist experiment.
why not look at the proposal and judge it on it's merits instead... you know, be rational and all that. i guess because that's too much effort (i'm not talking about you chico).
not shilling for bernie, i haven't read his plan yet, but let's retire the tired hyperbolic one liners, please.
