My vote goes for Bernie Sanders. Why? Bernie represents the working class people and not just a minority of the population that make more than $250,000 a year. Bernie recognizes that capitalism only works for the rich. Where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I'm all for big companies paying their fair share of taxes instead of leaving that up to the middle and lower class.
Bernie believes healthcare and education is a right. As it should be.. He wants to use the taxes from these big companies to help pay for these rights. Like Bernie said, the taxpayers bailed Wallstreet out during their financial collapse... It's time for them to return us the favor.
As you say, if they aren't already paying their fair share of taxes how is Bernie going to make them? They're just going to close up shop and relocate to another country. Hell, most companies in America already have. What you see are nothing but shell companies because of an already enormous tax bracket. There's a reason why a lot of manufacturing occurs in countries other than the US.
