it is a lie.

"That includes making sure they aren't taxed 70% on their income"

Bernie is proposing a top marginal rate in that neighborhood, which is not at all the same as taxing their income at that rate, and you know it.

In what world does making bogus arguments like that move us closer to a better society? If you want to advocate for ideas, do it honestly without deception.
