Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Democratic presidential candidate
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

said his tax increases would “hit everybody” becuse he would raise the payroll tax to pay for paid family and medical leave.
Sanders said, “I think if you are looking about guaranteeing paid family and medical leave, which every other major country has so that when a mom gives birth she doesn’t have to go back to work in two weeks. Dad or mom can stay home with the kids. That will require a small increase in the payroll tax.”
Stephanopoulos said, “That’s going to hit everybody.”
Maybe this man should be running for office in Europe instead of the USA!
Can I get retroactive family leave?
The sad part is this guy is now a serious contender ! Scary !
He might be a contender for the Democratic ticket, but he would be landslided in a general election. He has zero appeal to swing voters and even moderate Dems.
You ridgeweodites just don’t get it do you…
