If elected president, Bernie Sanders unabashedly admits that he would raise taxes.
“Yes, we will raise taxes. Yes we will,” the Vermont senator told CNN’s Chris Cuomo at the Democratic town hall on Monday. “But also, let us be clear, because there’s a little bit of disingenuity out there, we may raise taxes but we are also going to eliminate private health insurance premiums for individuals and for business.”
Sanders went on to lecture about the “rich” paying their “fair share” to finance his big government plans.
Outspoken conservative actor Rob Lowe, for one, didn’t appreciate Sanders’ sermon.
Watching Bernie Sanders. He’s hectoring and yelling at me WHILE he’s saying he’s going to raise our taxes. Interesting way to communicate.

Not surprisingly, he was attacked by those who believe Sanders would only be raising taxes on the rich — and not on them.
@RobLowe he’ll raise YOUR taxes. not “our” taxes. let’s get it straight.

@RobLowe he doesn’t plan on raising taxes for people who make less than $250,000 a year I believe (which is most of the US population)

@partiallypro @phishb13 @RobLowe @voxdotcom don't use logic reason and facts when people want to believe they get something for free.

Go easy @RobLowe #BernieSanders is 164 years old and has a full diaper. He’ll be good as new after a warm bottle of prune juice. #DemDebate
