The middle class is where the most tax revenue can be generated. Sanders plans to raise taxes for his giveaways will have to come from them eventually when the rich leave (like the 60's exodus from the UK tax scheme) and the tax on wall st. transactions peters out. That will either crucify the middle class or we will default on our debt, sooner than later. Which vipers in congress does he want to get rid of? How will that change his plan?
