Politico: Sanders proposes $15T in tax increases, hitting most taxpayers
Sanders proposes some ASTRONOMICAL tax increases.
Not surprisingly for a candidate who has made income inequality his central issue, Sanders’s plan would wallop the rich, an analysis released Friday by the Tax Policy Center shows.
The top 0.1 percent would see their tax bills go up by more than $3 million, the report said, which would cut their after-tax incomes by almost half.
But Sanders, going where few politicians dare, would also raise taxes on middle- and low-income families, with those in the dead center of the income spectrum facing a $4,700 tax increase. That would reduce their after-tax incomes by 8.5 percent, the report said.

For the actual report go here: AN ANALYSIS OF SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS’S TAX PROPOSALS
I know what Sanders supporters will cry foul, largely because this analysis doesn't take account of all the "free" stuff people we get for all these extra taxes. Problem is when you actually start to think about the actual real costs of Sanders many spending proposals, he's way too optimistic, according to every serious analyst who has looked at it. He would actually have to raise taxes more than the astronomical amounts he already proposes to raise them.
The guy is no more serious than Donald Trump, when it comes to the seriousness of his policy prescriptions. And that's saying something.

that this isn't Republican Underground, right? 
Would be paying less, while some would actually save money according to VOX
By 2025, the poorest Americans would actually save money. That's because Sanders's carbon tax is paid back to households making under $100,000 in the form of a rebate; the tax increases by 5 percent plus inflation every year, so eventually that rebate becomes big enough to cancel out all the tax increases.

Investing into healthcare, infrastructure and education is worth it - especially when you consider the savings from insurance. Companies would save a lot and we need to get them to invest into $15 minimum wage by 2020 and higher wages across the board due to health care savings they would be making.

[/img]Seems like all the Clinton supporters have, just like Hillary's campaign is to distort and mislead. First, Bernie is the ONLY candidate who has put out specific proposals and also how he plans to pay for them. As you can see, if you look at the list below, the funding is mostly gotten from the rich and corporations and they are things people have wanted for a long time. . like taxing corporations for their offshore income, and a tiny tax on Wall Street speculation that will raise lots of money, etc.
Just take a look at the chart below and see if the hysteria that this OP is meant to convey is a reality or just more of the Clinton campaign's smearing BS.
Is that what you were thinking from the title of this misleading post? Didn't you think your taxes were going up 50% from what this deceptive post said? And you see it was simple distortion, as usual.
Where are Hillary's proposals and plans to fund them? Oh that's right, she has nothing specific other than her broad generalizations that "things are going to be better for all of us". What does she mean by that and how is she going to achieve that and how is she going to fund that? I guess it's easier to lie about Bernie than to put your own concrete proposals out there.
Go, Hillary! We love you! 
Bernie has won a hell of a lot more elections than Clinton the Loser has, and he doesn't have to pretend to be a liberal to do it
