Sanders: ‘Absolutely’ I Agree with Donald Trump on Raising Taxes on Hedge Funds

TAPPER: “I know you have not been a particular fan of Donald Trump or his campaign rhetoric. He has called recently, however, for raising taxes on those who run hedge funds. Is that an issue where you two agree?”

SANDERS: “Absolutely. But, even more importantly, look, let's be clear. We have a situation where major corporations in this country make billions of dollars in profit. They stash their money in the Cayman Islands. They don't pay a nickel in taxes. I am funding my plan to make public colleges and universities tuition-free by a tax on Wall Street speculation. When you have hedge fund managers, as Warren Buffett reminds us, paying an effective tax rate lower than firemen or police officers, that's got to change. The rich are getting richer. They're going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes, as do major corporations.”
