Here's a progressive guy who doesn't like Bernie canceling the debt privileged young people took on: @aravosis I’m still not understanding why Bernie Sanders is taxing every American with a retirement account, and then calling us all “Wall Street.” I’m not Wall Street. I had no role in the 2008 meltdown. Neither did my 89 y.o. widowed mom. Why are you taxing us? Over half of Americans own stock, and 38% of millennials. That’s a lot more people than “the rich Wall Street brokers who caused the 2008 meltdown.” Sanders is going to tax half of all Americans. And he’s going to tax millennials to pay for their own student loans! America is a prosperous enough country that a sizeable portion of the population has at least a meager stake. Here's another one: If we’re going to single out one class of Americans and forgive their debt, why choose the class that is most educated and disproportionately likely to have high incomes and lifetime earnings? Instead, social welfare spending should flow to the class of poor people.
