Bernie has to take back his absurd tax comments like 90% tax rate on the rich or He will never win.He has to come down to and back to Earth with some of His tax plans.

Chelsea Clinton Takes on Bernie Sanders
Until now, Chelsea Clinton has shied away from directly naming Sanders in her speeches. She took a shot at the Vermont senator when asked by a young voter how to best galvanize young Americans, who are excited about Sanders' candidacy.
The youngest Clinton was on the defensive. “I never thought that I would be arguing about the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare in the Democratic primary,” Clinton said at an event in Manchester. “Senator Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare and private insurance.”
1. Eliminate all Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA medical, and most (or all) welfare.
The U.S. Government spents per year: (general numbers and programs)
$900 billion Social Security
$600 billion Medicare
$300 billion Medicaid
$350 billion Welfare and Unemployment
$2.15 trillion TOTAL
2. Pay $25,000 annually to each U.S. Citizen (Citizens only no exceptions)
Cost (300 million Citizens) = $2.1 trillion
check every 2 weeks
no income tax federal or state on the $25,000
withhold payroll tax 8% on everybody
automatic enroll in private minimum insurance policy covering everything
children under 18 get savings bonds (every 2 weeks) until 18, then a check
bonds held in Treasury safekeeping account
available at 18
3. Increase regular earned income payroll tax to 8% with 8% employer match
4. Nit-Picky petty jealousies aside, don't micro-manage
5. This ends the burdens on the bankrupt State and Local systems.
6. This partially relieves future bankrupt public pension plans.
7. Relieves employer headaches involving health insurance.
Any Questions?

source, please.
I already declared there is no internet source.
Focus on the outline, not me or anybody else.
I agreed to advocate "in favor" for the Hell of it.
I think it might be the "Socialists" answer.
It takes the endless political arguments out and minimizes partisan bickering.
Rebuttals please.

I still don't see Debbie Wasserman Shultz and the DNC moving to Sanders' side. If anything, they're doubling down on Clinton.
These are part of the Clinton machine...and they will look to destroy Sanders if Hillary feels he becomes a real threat to her coronation.
National Nurses United added its voice to those defending Sanders' proposal, accusing Clinton of deliberately distorting the facts.
"Surely Hillary Clinton knows that Medicare and Medicaid are national programs, and that they would be funded as national programs," said NNU co-president Jean Ross. "To claim that expanding Medicare to all would hand it over to state governors is a crude, inflammatory distortion, and shows an indifference to all those people who continue to be harmed by a broken system."
