How Bernie pays for his proposals - Bernie Sanders

Also the "tax the rich" strategy does not work in today's economy. Economic factors always work toward an equilibrium, where there is a natural compromise as opposing interests attempt to optimize their positions. Since WWII, the economic climate in this country has been such that tax rates for the wealthiest and revenue generated move inversely. In other words, the more we attempt to tax the rich, the more the tax base shrinks, resulting in lower revenue. As the rich are less productive and pay less tax, the middle class bears the burden. Eventually, the lower class (now paying zero income tax) start "feelin the Bern" also; either through downward movement in the tax tables, or decreased or deficit spending.

Let's take it one step further. I don't know how many times that Mr. Sanders' supporters have indicated that the Top 1% will pay for everything. However, hypothetically speaking, what if that "top 1%" was gone---what next? The answer seems to be whoever the next Top 1% consists of. As I have heard his supporters say: "There will always be a Top 1% for us to go after" (or words to that effect). Does not sound good, folks...
