Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said more taxes would be necessary in order to pay for things like universal healthcare and tuition-free college.
Sanders pointed to countries like Germany and Finland, where the cost of going to college is minimal.
"But as you know, the taxes in many of those countries are much higher than they are — in individual and personal tax — are much higher than they are in the United States," CNN anchor Anderson Cooper said.
"Yeah, but I suspect a lot of people in the country would be delighted to pay more in taxes if they had comprehensive healthcare as a human right," Sanders said.

Someone please ship this fool in a box to North Korea.
This moron doesn't understand that the constitution guarantees us rights - they don't mention getting anything for free! More importantly, most of the country was fed up with the Turd giving away free stuff that they had to pay for...so they elected President Trump...I hope and expect that will happen again next November for most of the same reasons!
He made several millions and paid 26 percent in taxes. He was asked WHY SO LITTLE, he replied with a shoulder shrug and demanded trumps taxes. Lol.
11:35 STFU, you are the same exact people this fool is talking about... He knows damn well you all don't want more taxes, but you WON'T STOP THEM OR PUT UP A FIGHT when they keep raising them on you, so in essence he is right, you ass hats do want more taxes... I have not seen a single damn one of you stand up and fight back or help stop this mess or offer fixes to this mess, you just sit there running your mouth on a blog thinking it will solve something, well I have news for you, has your complaining and inaction solve the problem yet???? NO and it never will!!!!! When you stand up and fight back, or when you help others fight back, THEN YOU ARE 100% fed up and want to make a difference, until then your not goign to do a god damn thing but sit there and keep taking in the ass while they tax you into poverty... Look what BERLIN just did to all residence and all of them said not to do it, did the govt listen???? NO, do they ever listen??? NO.... SO why re you so f'ing stupid to think they will miraculously start to listen????
This guy is a certified nut job.
Unfortunately most of the new hires in the house and Senate are also radical leftist nut jobs! I fear for this country and for my children's future. My life is already over 70 percent over, so I am not worried about me, but my children and grandchildren.
My Dad serviced in Korea. I am glad he didn't live long enough to see what a hell hole this country has become!
And doesnt Finland have a problem with all that right now
Him and others determined to enrich themselves at our expense,that's what socialism does.
Amazing how bernie is a multi MILLIONARE?
See how that works.
11:56 So what have you done know it all, what are you doing about it except what you accuse everyone else of doing by going on a blog and giving your 2 cents worth. You who think you have all the answers just exactly what have you done, do you attend meetings like some of us have, do you use your mouth in those meetings, do you write something with real solutions do you have a partition you are getting together, are you writing your favorite congressman, are you running for office ? Come on mouth let's hear real answers.
They wiped their ass with the constitution years ago
I am never delighted to pay more taxes for anything
Only ones that have taxes raised on would be the Millionaires. Start at the 1 million level and raise taxes 10% at every million dollar level above that.
Thank you 11:35
That was a great one
Northwest Woodsman: Ahhh, count me out. I don’t want to participate. Thanks anyway Bernie.
Socialism , do you mean for the people or for the Corporations.
Is not bailing our General motors Chrysler, Goldman Sacks socialism ?
How about the farm aid , 12 billion and now 16 billion . Is that not socialism?
