any person that wants to raise middle class taxes isn't a friend of mine. Bernie has high popularity among college-aged students. I'm one of the few college students who actually values hard work. I believe that the poor should pay little in taxes, but not nothing. I think the rich shouldn't have so many tax breaks, but they shouldn't get slammed so hard like Bernie wants. Once I graduate I feel that I would be in the middle class for nearly a decade before I move up the ranks. The middle class always gets slammed with taxes and that's why the middle class is shrinking percentage wise. I'm not voting for a guy who has socialist ideals in his agenda. If he wants a seat in a political office, then he should move to Europe. Europeans would take him in a heartbeat. I don't want a guy who de-incentivizes hard work. my brother is an EMT working in an ambulance saving lives. it's his passion, but if the minimum wage goes to $15, he will quit immediately because flipping burgers is much less stressful than that, and the pay would be astoundingly similar.
