Considering it was a heavily repeated slogan of Bernie Sanders in 2016, and a common sentiment from his vocal minority, it’s hardly a “strawman” (whatever that means in this context). You can see his focus on the “1%”/“0.1%” (which interestingly, the latter excludes millionaires like himself and would be the percentage taxed) on his website here: https://berniesanders.com/issues/tax-extreme-wealth/ https://berniesanders.com/issues/tax-extreme-wealth/
- istjohn 2y agoThe very first words on the page you linked: "In order to reduce the outrageous level of inequality that exists in America today..." Nowhere does it say that this alone would solve our financial problems.
