The Wall Street Journal claims that Bernie Sanders will increase federal taxes to the highest levels since World War II to pay for all of Sanders’ socialist promises:

During a recent interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) once again showed his true colors when asked about his vocal support for Cuban despot Fidel Castro. “It’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Sanders said. “When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for December 2019 is the Small Business Prosperity Act of 2019, H.R. 4947, introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.). The Small Business Prosperity Act would amend the tax code to make permanent the tax benefits pass-through businesses under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

After repeatedly claiming that the middle class won’t see a tax increase under any of her policy proposals, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the details on Friday of how she plans to pay for Medicare for All. The proposal can hardly be taken seriously, as Warren is, more likely than not, under-estimating the cost of Medicare for All and over-estimating the tax revenues that her proposals will bring in to the treasury.

As the race for the White House continues to ramp up, the Democratic primary appears to have split fairly cleanly between two camps. The more moderate candidates -- led by Former Vice President Joe Biden -- form one contingent, and the self-described “progressives” -- championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren(D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) -- form the other. While the moderate candidates have mostly stuck with a more traditional democratic platform, Warren and Sanders have led a significant portion of the caucus into a headlong plunge off the deep end.
