He just laid it out there and said since the 1% has gotten 99% of the income gains over the last few decades, they just newd to pay THEIR FAIR SHARE of taxes. He talked about Warren Buffet paying a lower % in taxes than his secretary. Warren said that years ago and still nothing has changed. He also mentioned corporations offshoring their trillions of profits in tax havens. Bernie needs to hammer home the FAIRNESS angle.

And the "folk singing" was hilarious!
