The tax revenue he plans on generating is a tiny fraction of how he proposes to get the money to pay for his plans

And where, prey tell, is the rest of the money going to come from?

I feel like you should know this beforehand...

$3 trillion from a .5% stock trade tax? For fuck's sake. I've said this before and I'll say it again: the stock market isn't the government's money pool, to be taxed on a whim. It's the monetary foundation for every public business in the market, the pool of funds for pensions and retirement funds, college funds, savings accounts, real estate and bank assets, and private citizens' personal investments.

>based on gerald friedman's work

Literally get the fuck out of here with that voodoo bullshit. You don't get to scream and shout about how an economist supports Sanders when that economists' work is based mostly on unicorn farts and rainbows. Like, did you even read the article in the OP?

I never said that it was accurate, just that tax revenue is a tiny portion of the money Sanders plans to make
