You do realize that your example is pretty screwed up right? Nobody, Sanders included, is trying to tax what people already have, it's income. Now I'm pro capitalize, and right now not to high on democrats, but how does it make any sense for a lower middle class person to pay a higher tax % the someone in the upper upper class? We need to make government aid harder to get and abuse, and go to a flat tax rate. Wealth redistribution is bullshit but so is the fact that I pay a higher tax percentage the someone who pulls in $100,00,000 a year.
