"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Despite Being in the Top 5% of Earners, Bernie Sanders Pays Half the Taxes of the Average Citizen
"As Sanders touts his ‘poorness’ while simultaneously calling for more of your paycheck, his deception becomes evident. Bernie is no more a candidate for the people than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. As you are told to ‘pay your fair share’ by every one of the presidential candidates, remember that they do everything possible to avoid paying their own."

Some context here: Sanders & wife's yearly income was less than what Hillary got for one single speech, $234k vs. $250k, so I'm not too worried about that particular populist angle. Paying as much tax as possible isn't a virtue, in my opinion, either.
