A month will take this type of taxes. We know the rich does not pay their fair share as Trump does not release his tax returns, Sanders released a summary, he paid less than 10%, and he is in the top 6% of wage earners. With the richer paying this rate there will not be $1000 per citizen a month. I would expect a union person to know this.
