Bernie is not asking people who live in poverty to pay more taxes, he's asking those who are rich and not paying any taxes to pay their fair share. If taxes did go up it would be to cover health care that they are now paying into for Obama care. They would actually end up with more money int their pockets.

It's from Citizens for Tax Justice

FYI: I donated $27 to Bernie, but that was all I could afford. I get less than $800 on SSI, and Hillary has said she will consider cutting it.
