CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2015: on Tax Reform


Bernie Sanders: Increase tax on wealthy; close loopholes for corporations

If you look at my agenda, the wealthy people are not particularly supportive of it, because we are going to ask the wealthiest people in this country to pay substantially more in taxes, because we have a situation where they're earning almost all of the new income.

We are going to ask large corporations, profitable corporations that, in some cases, pay zero in federal income taxes to start paying their fair share of taxes.
