5. basically, Bernie said something like, Since you keep repeating the same
talking points over and over again, let me repeat a few. Do the rich pay the most taxes? Of course they do. Why do they pay the most money in taxes? Because the richest 2% have increased their wealth by 250% while the poor and middle class are stretched to the limit. I don't remember the rest of it, but you get the idea. And then of course, the whole thing was quickly dropped by both parties.

7. Why should the rich pay more in taxes? Two reasons:
As Willie Sutton said to the FBI about robbing banks, "Because that's where the money is," and as Jesus said, to whom much is given much is expected and to whom much is entrusted much will be demanded."
