Clinton Campaign Attacks Sanders on Tax Increases

“If you are truly concerned about raising incomes for middle-class families, the last thing you should do is cut their take-home pay right off the bat by raising their taxes,” Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s spokesman Brian Fallon says in statement. “Yet Bernie Sanders has called for a roughly 9-percent tax hike on middle-class families just to cover his health care plan, and simple math dictates he’ll need to tax workers even more to pay for the rest of his at least $18-20 trillion agenda.”

Clinton “will make sure the wealthiest Americans finally start paying their fair share, not force the middle class to pay even more than they already do,” Fallon says
