I am a hardcore capitalist. I am not rich... I simply just believe in this. I like the idea that I can become a billionaire through hard work. So the idea of Bernie taxing the hell out of billionaires seemed very off putting to me. Because while it may help me now I thought, IF I got to that position in my life (disregarding the chances of that actually happening) it would just be ridiculous. The taxes I mean.
But I think people think the way I thought because we think oh, well that's not fair. What do poor people do to deserve more wealth? So they can spend it on pizza and video games? But actually after seeing the following:

I am now with Bernie on this one. It's just not fair the rich have so much and the middle and lower have so little. And then, you may say, well they're just going to waste money they didn't earn on pizza and video games and what not, but when you look at Bernie's plans... the money is just going towards things just so middle and lower class don't go in unnecessary debt lol. School debt is a scam. Medical debt is also a scam.
So now I am pro Bernie. I would like to see if someone has some arguments for the other side taking my entire thought process into account.
