Bernie Sanders: “We will raise taxes, yes we will”
01/25/16 10:49 PM—UPDATED 01/25/16 11:04 PM

We will raise taxes, yes we will,” Sanders said to moderator Chris Cuomo of CNN at a Democratic forum on the campus of Drake University.

It’s the kind of blunt, un-politician-like talk that has endeared Sanders to his fans, but it’s also a comment ready-made for a political attack ad.

1. It's a comment ready-made for those unable to hear the rest of the message.

Or for those who are seeking to denigrate Bernie on any score.

3. You are right as always Dearest Peg.

Blows me away; the lengths they'll go to get Hillary elected.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Their efforts are ceaseless.

7. Those of us that are smart enough

to listen to his full answer get it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Absolutely right!

[Ed Suspicious]

2. Your concern is concerning.

4. Camp weathervane has their new talking point

Of course ignoring the rest of the quote.

[Duckhunter935]

8. That is normal

They have nothing else.

6. Good. You can ignore the poor and suffering, but we won't. n/t

10. I suppose you want tax cuts for the rich.

This attack is pure RW scare tactics.

I'm not sure you are in the right party.

[Broward]

11. Are you a conservative?

[Fawke Em]

12. And save the average family $5,000 a year!

I'd rather pay my $446 a year to Uncle Sam than $4,500 to United Healthcare.*


*average

13. Hmm.

It's a damn good thing Clinton hasn't said anything ready-made for a political attack ad, huh?

Why, I'm sitting here, wracking my brain to think of anything she's said that would be similar fodder, and, well, I come up empty.

Nope, can't think of even one thing.

How about you?

14. Its like Mondale. He lost 49 states I think. nm

[Odin2005]

15. Are we resorting to Wingnut talking points, now?

[doc03]

16. President Hubert Humphrey said he would raise taxes or was it

President Mondale or President Dukakis?

17. CNN got Bernie's age wrong? Yea right, they just wanted him to say he was 74

so an attack ad can be made.

Between Bloomberg's statement about running and why, Wall Street Super PACs running ads against Bernie in Iowa, and CNN's ageism attack, Bernie really has them worried! Things are really heating up, but they just don't understand that this genie is out of the bottle.

Bernie's message has lit a big fire, whether or not Bernie wins, the people have had enough of this crap. The very wealthy and powerful are divorced from the pain this corruption is causing to the rest of us. They will continue to demand more and more, and the divide will grow. New leaders will continue to come forward. Too many of us choose not to live under corporate rule!

18. Only 5 years older than our oldest President if he wins. n /t
