Benjamin Franklin is credited with the observation that nothing is certain “except death and taxes.”

Bernie Sanders would probably agree, and then some. In an election season marked by populist anger, his plan to raise at least $19.58 trillion in higher taxes over 10 years -- almost 20 times the tax hikes Hillary Clinton proposes -- has not dulled his rise.

And, despite the anti-tax fervor of the Tea Party wave a few years ago, neither Democratic candidate seems shy about pushing an aggressive tax plan in their presidential primary battle.

Taxes, taxes, taxes.

You make it, we take it.

Happily help ourselves to your money. :)

Bloomberg is also a businessman. This choice counters Trump. They’ll say, “Business-savvy but sane!” One of the things that got me on CSPAN tonight is all the Dems calling in saying they were voting for Trump. TPTB have got to be terrified.
