Senator Sanders, I respectfully do not begrudge all ultra-rich citizens their fortune as long as the tax loop holes are sewn-up to the extent where our middle and lower class earners don't actually end up paying the bear's portion of federal taxes.

Sanders has often come under criticism for the various groups he will “tolerate”, while allegedly putting other corporations or groups under an intense microscope.
But you will tolerate Scientology having tax exempt status while going against rules laid down by IRS to ensure that status. You tolerate staff paid 50c an hour and many labour laws breached and a leader sitting on $3billion in cash. Seems you are very selective in toleration.

Many called for solutions rather than continually beating the emotional drum of wealth inequality. Sanders continues to target the same old names. Rather than simply barking about the rich, many constituents on both sides of the aisle want action.
But you surrender so easily to the billionaires, why should anyone believe you.

Unfortunately, these constituents recognize Congress will not correct this broken system. Career politicians would need to close the very tax loopholes of which they take full advantage, in order to truly help raise the lower and middle classes.
I edited for you. "In my view, we can no longer tolerate politicians becoming obscenely rich at a time of unprecedented economic pain and suffering. The time has come to tax their wealth."

Unfortunately, until the entire system is corrected, starting with wealthy career politicians, their corporate donors, and lobbyists, the middle and lower class will continue to shoulder the brunt of income inequality.
