Sens. Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz debated each other on taxes Wednesday night on CNN, and as Cruz put it, the debate was simple:
This debate is simple. Bernie and the Democrats want you all to pay more taxes. Republicans want to lower taxes for everyone #CNNDebateNight

Obviously, not everyone wants lower taxes for everyone, but once again, Bernie Sanders sweetened the pot with … free stuff! Teddy Davis is a CNN senior producer:
.@BernieSanders on taxes: "Yes, you are going to pay more"
But says you will get "free health care, free child care," kids can go to college— Ted Davis (@TeddyDavisLA) October 19, 2017
Free health care! Free child care!

If you PAY you can get it FREE. But only if you PAY. https://t.co/lcMvo76NXz

Sanders proved not only that he doesn’t know what “free” means … Cruz also showed him where he went wrong in his understanding of the Robin Hood story.
"Bernie fundamentally misunderstood that story" @tedcruz re: @BernieSanders and Robin Hood #CNNDebateNight ?? https://t.co/zkjrtkdvC6

Hmm …
A question for Bernie: What is the difference between a socialist and a democrat on taxes? #CNNDebateNight
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) October 19, 2017
Cruz: What is the difference between a Democratic Socialist and a Democratic on taxes?
Sanders: I don't have an answer for that. #CNNDebateNight
