I disagree with "what he sees". All he really sees is a bunch of people who get emotional about "I voted against Iraq" and he sees a bunch of millennials with rather questionable work-etch who will get behind him while he denounced the rich.
Back in 1972, one of Ayn Rand's associates made the following comment on George McGovern: "unilateral disarmament is not funny". That also applies to Sander's tax plan. I'll take Sanders seriously when he stops this nonsense about jacking up rates.
I make very good money. I also work my tail off to get it. I don't live extravagantly (anyone who has seen my car or the way I dress can attest to that). But I do want to live very comfortably and I want to give my family as much as I can. We are putting our daughter in private school next year because public education is a completely and utter joke.
I am tired of giving money to a federal government that does not value it the way I do. I look at the Sanders plan and how much more I'd have to pay. And that's just for starters. I'm sure you know that old line about "they can have it when the pry it from my hands". I have a serious problem with the feds believing they have the right to more of my money, especially when they've proven during an era of all-time high revenue collection that they don't know how to use it wisely.
This, by the way, was the mantra of the early Tea Party - which, of course, is why the IRS (illegally and unconstitutionally) targeted them. It's too bad the Tea Party went whacko. It left serious libertarians like myself with absolutely nowhere to go.
