Sanders supporters are wealthier, whiter, and more male than Hillary supporters.

331. Does Sanders propose raising INCOME taxes on people who make $80K a year?

Your entire post is about Social Security, which is a federally run pension program. I support raising the caps, but if it becomes mere taxation, it is doomed as a program. The entire raison d'etre for the program is that everyone pays in and everyone receives benefits.

How about income taxes? I hear a lot of talk about the rich and the 1 percent, but then when a DUer posts a poll we hear all kinds of angst about how $500k a year or $200 k a year really isn't that much, when in truth it is 4-10 times more than the average income and the former is actually 1 percent, while the latter is upper 5 percent.

Yet you ignore income taxes in favor of what you clearly want to be a flat tax, which is in fact regressive.

Would you support a progressive income tax system that raises marginal and effective rates on the household incomes of $80k a year or more? Has Sanders proposed such an increase?
