Until they see the tax bill. Because whatever else is changing about Americans, I don't see their ferocious resistance to taxation going away any time soon. And you simply can't get the level of public spending Sanders is calling for without substantial tax increases right across the board.
Countries like Denmark and Sweden don't have robust public services because they tax the wealthy and corporations at high rates. They can afford robust public services because they impose high income and sales taxes on
everybody. To a level I simply can't imagine Americans tolerating.
