You don't see that as hypocritical? I think the man is a downright fraud to be honest with you.

Sanders wants ALL high income earners and large corporations to pay more taxes. How does him alone paying additional taxes achieve this? It wouldn’t even come close to addressing issues like amazon paying 0$ in federal taxes despite making bilions in profits while receiving tax refunds of hundreds of millions. Paying more taxes into an obviously broken system doesn’t fix the problem at all.
