Will any of the moderators ask Bernie about his plan to raise taxes?

The media has handled Bernie's plans with kid gloves. Raisng taxes on billionaires will not pay for everything. Why is Bernie avoiding the price tag for all his programs.

After all, Bernie's tax plan has been a major talking point in his campaign. So I hope they ask him about it too. BTW, I can't wait for that debate now that Bloomberg is in.

Praised him for 'being honest' about raising taxes.

Biden gave Bernie a win in NH, kneecapping Pete with a poison pill ad on the weekend before the vote.

Biden hugged Bernie to show Hillary's criticism was wrong: 'Joe likes me'
