Sanders supporters already know this. 
And they know it is going to come in a variety of areas as already outlined by Bernie. And, knowing that, they are still willing to invest in their country and fellow citizens through that increased taxation.
Can't get much clearer than that.
get an idea -- If, in fact, you're not just against raising taxes on the wealthy...They're at their lowest
rate in 80 or so years. 
most Americans don't believe in paying more taxes for a robust social net?
Why is their viewpoint any less valid than yours (that they are "dumb"
?
where in Bernie Sanders plan that "59% over 51K" is called for. Thanks in advance! 
in English class where they discussed analogies and metaphors.
Denmark is being used as an example. An analogy if you will of what higher taxes and socialist support could look like.
But for christ's sake, no one including him is suggesting we do EXACTLY what they do in Denmark. We are much larger. We have a different foundational government system. We have a different economic setup from the start.
But we could raise taxes on the wealthiest 10% back to 1980's Reagan era levels and pay for one thing. We could implement the FT Tax and pay for one other thing. We could then repatriate Apple's and other corporations off shore tax holdings and pay for another. We could cut military spending by a measly 10% and have enough to strengthen food stamps for a decade.
Taxes used to be ok with Democratic progressives until the neoliberals took over. You and the OP are on the wrong fucking site with conservative libertarian "I don't want to pay for someone else's stuff" bullshit.
Go away!

a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.
"Victorian men developed fetishes focusing on feet, shoes, and boots"
And since mentioning Denmark "all the time" makes it a "fetish", does his "fetish" for Denmark resemble your "fetish" for guns?

Tia!
And thanks to finding a subject you obviously understand (guns) and a candidate you support (Hillary), I've completed my mission.
My work here is done!
Sanders supporters can never stay on topic. 
Everyone has fetishes, yours seem to be guns and not seeing the point as it flies over your head at Mach 1.
Of course, all of his prospective American supporters will need to leave their parents' basements to vote for him abroad.
I've heard it gets cold under those bridges at night.
Same to you, the important thing is keeping the white house.
Taxes! Taxes!
First off, it's not socialism, let's get that straight right now. American's are the only people on the face of the earth who have a problem with this word and it's incredibly sad and ignorant. The reason? In the rest of the world, political parties like Germany's SPD are the norm, "Social Party Democrats", we don't exactly have that here, instead we have the Democratic Party. Here's some info for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Germany and they usually forge alliances with the Green Party.
Do I embrace higher taxes? Yes I do. I never used to but having lived in Germany after marrying a German, there's no question I do. In fact, how their country and society functions is far superior than ours. Is there caveats? Yes.For instance, it's hard to own property and it's expensive as heck but that being said, people who live under social democracies are also the happiest people on earth & Denmark is one of those very countries http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/travel/feat-world-happiest-countries-2015/

Also keep in mind that Denmark is continuously one of the best places to live as are many Nordic and European countries. Do you know who isn't? The United States. We often rank towards the bottom or every once in a blue moon, the middle of the list. We're never in the top 10% however.
"American exceptionalism" is a lie and nothing but. People are finding this out that the bullshit flavored Kool-Aid that they've been fed for decades is nothing short of cheerleading and it's all because of the internet. Younger generations are realizing this, from Gen Xers to millennials. They can literally get on the internet and talk with someone in under 2 seconds who lives in Japan or Sweden, they have friends from these countries and they talk. They learn. They exchange ideas. They spend time with these people, often hours a day, playing online games and in doing so, they learn all about their country and where they're from.
In doing so their opinions change and they start to learn and see that everything they've been told is utter lies. This election isn't just about policy, it's about a gap in generations. Many Hillary supporters on here for instance say they don't use twitter and/or facebook. Younger generations do and they're talking to people in these countries.
I got a shock when I lived in Germany. I saw lies melted away like butter in front of my eyes. Socialized healthcare? It's incredibly far superior to our system. Never once did I see some mythical wait time that has been forced fed to me like a IV. Doctors, yes doctors, show up to the scene of accidents. Actual doctors! The real deal! "Notarzt" as they're called. Literally translated it means "emergency physician". This doesn't even exist in America where doctors show up to accident scenes.
They take care of their own and we don't. It's truly that simple.
*30 days PAID vacation a year.
*Doctors who make house calls and show up to the scenes of accidents.
*Free college. My kiddo won't pay a damn cent for his education.
*An entrenched social system for when you retire. Seniors aren't scraping to survive.
*A vastly superior healthcare system
*No sales tax on food. What you see is what you pay.
*"Kindergeld", everyone is entitled to this. It's money the government gives you to help raise kids.
*Free day care.
*Paid maternal leave. In Germany women often don't work, only 1 parents does.
*No homeless problem. None. I lived in cities as big as Chicago, Dusseldorf, Koeln, Dortmund. It doesn't exist because of the entrenched social system.
*Emergency rooms don't even have a waiting room. You literally walk into a hospital room because people don't go to the ER when they have the flu due to the healthcare system.
*Everything is closed on Sundays. It's law, thus giving people who work in say our minimum wage jobs, off, so they can spend time with family.
*Lunch? Try a 2 hour break that you go home for.
*Wages are living wages. In Denmark and much of Europe, fast food workers as example are unionized and they are paid a living wage.
See, this is what people are finding out. While our "Democrats" say things like this, such as Hillary, actions speak louder than words. She also isn't a progressive and I truly wish people would stop saying that about her. FDR was a progressive. Teddy in many ways was a progressive. Sanders is a progressive. Hillary isn't a progressive. Her stances show and prove that. She's a blue collar Dem who in many ways leans conservative.
People are waking up. They're sick of the establishment and they're sick of the bullshit when it comes to politics and politicians. They're sick of the money and they're sick of dishonesty. They're sick of us being thrown under the bus. In many ways, Ike was more progressive than many Dems today however Dems won't admit that and those Ike Republicans will be voting for Bernie.
