I&#x27;m always puzzled by these kinds of articles. Under the U.S. system, the president can&#x27;t tax anyone. To create new taxes or raise existing ones, Congress has to enact legislation. Since many legislators on both side of the aisle get a lot of campaign contributions from the financial industry, the chance of this kind of legislation passing is small. Also, Republicans currently have a majority of both houses of Congress, so if Sanders is elected he won&#x27;t have an easy time getting any of his agenda enacted.
