Bernie Sanders Shreds Donald Trump For Lying About His Plan To Raise Taxes On The Rich



During an interview on ABC’s This Week, Bernie Sanders went to town on Donald Trump after the billionaire lied and claimed that Sanders would raise taxes to 90%.

(snip)

Let’s talk about it. What we have seen, George, in the last 30 years, as most of Americans know, is a massive redistribution of wealth. Unfortunately, it’s gone in the wrong direction, it’s gone from the middle class and working families to Donald Trump and his friends, the top one tenth of 1 percent.

And, yes, let me be very clear, if we are going to make public colleges and universities to tuition-free, as I believe we have to do in the 21st century, yes, we are going to have a tax on Wall Street speculation.

Yes, we are going to ask Trump and his billionaire friends to pay more in taxes…

Sen. Sanders’ messages about income inequality and unfairness are resonating, so Trump is trying to shoot the messenger, but Bernie Sanders is fighting back.

Donald Trump picked the wrong Democratic presidential candidate to lie about.

bullshit to go unanswered. He's very good at counter arguments. I've never, in all my voting life, seen a candidate who has so many facts and figures in his head and such a firm grasp on the issues. That's why people have a hard time attacking him - He KNOWS WHAT THE HELL HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

say, like a Caymans or some such haven. Actually - MORE than just his mouth - his whole flabby existence needs to be in bed with his cash. He could lay on a mattress stuffed with hundred dollar bills and read his favorite passages from the bible.
