I feel dirty even saying this, but I have to agree with Bernie. It is silly to suggest that his support for tax increases somehow obligates him to pay more taxes than he owes.
My father used to call doing what you State the courage of your convictions. Bernie is obviously now in the 1% range in income and wealth. He gives little to charity and if he really feels he wants to give more in taxes, he can. Simply put he is being hypocritical and doesnt care much for the less fortunate. It was obvious he never even thought about GIVING,it is all about Bernie!
