tl;dr washingtonexaminer doesn't understand how economics works. 11.6 trillion for healthcare is less than what we pay currently. Sanders plan saves people money (but we can keep ignoring that fact because who gives a shit about facts lets focus on the scary word TAXES). 3 trillion isn't going to even matter to the average american and will only mess with large business. If anything this is 3 trillion more to spend on his other policies I'll count this as a + not a - for the average american. We're at 11.6 trillion that doesn't matter and 3 trillion that helps. +3 trillion in revenue sounds great. Corporate offshore = +1 trillion in revenue for the US economy once again and comes from (you guessed it) the top 1% of the 1% I don't even have to get into the rest. This is essentially around +5 trillion on government spending without harming the middle class at all. tl;dr#2 This helps the middle class, and closes most tax loopholes while also increasing government revenue. Let me be serious with you guys for a moment. It's important to not get your information from extremely biased sources. The washingtonexaminer is extremely right leaning (which should be clear by reading their articles). Try to actually dive into real sources, and digest the data. It'll be hard, and maybe even a bit scary but it is necessary in a democracy to stay informed on the truth.
