Bernie Sanders actually said...

"do we ask those people who are doing extremely well to start paying their fair share of taxes so that we can invest in our economy and reduce the deficit"

"While we must continue to focus on the Federal deficit, we must also be aware that there are other deficits in our society that are causing horrendous pain for the vast majority of the American people..."

"Is it not correct that if we did nothing more than restore the income and capital gains tax rates to where they were in 2000 for the wealthiest two percent of Americans earning $250,000 a year or more..."

"Well, thank you very much, Chairman Enzi. Congratulations on your assuming the Chairmanship of this important committee."
