As Bernie Sanders declares 'billionaires shouldn't exist,' Obama's Ebola Czar points out that his math just doesn't add up

Elderly socialist Bernie Sanders unveiled a new wealth tax on Monday to target billionaires who he says “should not exist” in America:

He really hates billionaires:

There is no justice when three billionaires are able to own more wealth than the bottom half of the entire country.

The plan, according to Sanders, would raise $4.35 trillion per decade:

New @BernieSanders WEALTH TAX

• 1% tax on net worth >$32 million
• 2% from $50M to $250M
• 3% from $250M to $500M
• 4% from $500M to $1B
• 5% from $1B to $2.5B
• 6% from $2.5B to $5B
• 7% from $5B to $10B
• 8% on wealth over $10 billion

• Raises $4.35 trillion / decade

And his campaign website says this money would “be used to fund Bernie’s affordable housing plan, universal childcare and would help fund Medicare for All.”

But that’s still about $30 trillion per decade short. Note: this is Obama’s Ebola czar pointing this out, not some Republican:

Note: $4.35 trillion still leaves Sen. Sanders about $30 trillion short of paying for Medicare for All. https://t.co/sOhjQaZ74D

Math strikes again, Bernie.
