Senator Sanders has released his 2014 income tax returns. They indicate that he earned approximately 205,000. This figure is an indication to many people that he's an honest man.
The 205K figure however places him in the top 5%. Based on a reliable journalist he paid 14% in Federal income taxes. His opponent, Hillary Clinton earned millions of dollars. As far as this writer knows, her tax returns are not public. Bernie claims she gave 3 speeches at Goldman Sachs and/or other investment banking firms grossing about $700,000. Calls for her to release the transcripts by Bernie have been ignored. Surprisingly, there have been no leaks on the speeches.

What does Bernie Sanders want to do when he becomes president?
There is one question that involves Senator Sanders that has seemed to slip under the radar scope of the news media and among other politicians that either support Senator Sanders or that oppose him. Clearly the "main stream" of the Democrat Party leans more towards the policies of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton then those of Senator Sanders. Also, on the Republican side, liberal, moderate and conservative politicians also are on opposite poles then Senator Sanders. With all that said, how can Senator Sanders refer to himself as a socialist? Socialists believe that the major means of production in a democratic socialist nation are owned and controlled by the central government under the name of all the people. Senator Sanders has not proposed one area of the US mixed market economy that he would socialize. With that said, it can be generous to say that the senator "prefers socialism" however, he recognizes that: 1. Very few people in the US are socialists; and 2. No one in either of the major political party has proposed a government takeover of the banking system as an example, simply as a measure to improve the economy and does not claim that such a move would be part of a socialist agenda. Senator Sanders, if he were to be elected to the US presidency would be an advocate of increased social expenditures, such as reduced college fees or free college. This measure would never pass Congress. Senator Sanders believes that increased social programs would be paid for by raising taxes. Yet as it has been pointed out time and time again, that if all the wealth of the top 5% of Americans, would be confiscated to help pay for new programs or to reduce the national debt, this would amount to nothing. Raising it to the top 10% would also not make a dent in the national debt of about $20 trillion. With all of that said, the answer to the original question is that if Senator Sanders was elected to the US presidency, he would be an advocate of increased taxes and more social benefits. There is nothing wrong with that "idea" except that it most likely is not workable.
