Bernie Sanders: No, I won’t explain how I’ll pay for everything for everyone

Bernie Sanders’ “Democrat socialist” policies sound good and have a lot of popular support among certain demographics, but when pressed on how he would pay for all the free stuff he’s promising, he’s a bit nonplussed. Pesky details like that just don’t interest him; it’s all about the utopian ideal in his dreamy little head, not about reality.
For example, although he pledged to release his plan for paying for his health care plan before the Iowa caucuses, he’s now decided that might be a mistake and is considering breaking that particular pledge.

He already said he's amenable to a 90% tax. So, what's there to hide?

If you don’t know who Bernie is going to tax, you can be sure it is you.

Let me take a shot at it Bernie.
You'll send the tax collector out to raze the villages, burn the crops, steal the goats and cattle. Rape the virgins, behead the heretics and claim it wasn't enough.

The majority of the population doesn’t care or understand. All they care about is the free shit they’re gonna get.

With all due respect to Sen. Sanders, low-information Sanders has once again shown why he is an excellent example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified.
What Sanders does not understand is that he is unthinkingly basing his vote-winning campaign promises on constitutionally non-existent federal government powers. In other words, Sanders wants to use the Oval Office as an excuse to steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers and state revenues uniquely associated with those powers.
In fact, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the feds are prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Outside IRS tax rates, I'll tell you exactly how a President Bernie will pay for it all:
401K/IRA Government Confiscation into a slush SSN fund, payable to all. equitably

And Bernie gets huge crowds !!
He’s leading Hillary in many polls?
What has become of us, as a country, that he is even in consideration?
How is it even possible that he has even one supporter?
I think it goes way beyond public education.
It’s willful ignorance and a single minded perception of revenge?
It makes no sense.

Let’s see, 90% Federal tax plus greater than 10% state/county/city tax equals paying the government for the right to own a business or make money (ie. no profits). Sounds about right with the DEMs.
