WBTR - Exposing the Myth That Claims Bernie Will Raise Taxes On Everyone

This week, we will expose the myths around the Bernie Sanders Tax Plan. Many supporters of the Clinton campaign have asserted that American voters would not support a presidential candidate who proposed to raise their taxes. The Tax Foundation has published a less-that-accurate analysis of this tax plan suggesting that it would cost jobs, GDP, and wages.

Robert Pollin, author of Thoughts on Tax Rates and Revenue Potential for Financial Transaction Tax in U.S. Financial Markets, an analysis of potential revenue and costs of adding a small tax on Wall Street stock and bond transactions, will join us this week to discuss this analysis. 

We will also welcome Deborah Burger, President of the National Nurses United Union, who will discuss the prioritites of her organizations's membership and how they relate to the Sanders Campaign's issues.

We will also feature an interview with Dr. Gerald Friedman, professor of economics at University of Massachusetts, discussing his analysis of Bernie's tax plan to pay for his healthcare proposal.
