Sorry, but you've made several statements here that are either false or misleading (such as the post-WWII interpretation)

But let's start here: Federal tax revenue collected is at an all-time high. I'm not denying the shape of infrastructure, but there are reasons for that, and the solution isn't to soak the rich.

You are essentially saying I should pay more in taxes. (Our household income is at the level where Sanders wants to increase the rate). I have a fundamental problem with any declaration that I should have more of the results of my livelihood seized from me.
