His proposed corporate tax rates aren't even as high as they were under FDR. He basically just wants to reform the corporate tax rates back to what they were before Reagan, while re-routing some of that absurd military budget into some basic social-democratic programs like free health care and free education. The funny thing is that Bernie's ideology, Social democracy, gives capitalism a chance to save itself from revolution by going to the bargaining table and offering concessions to the working class right as their anger is boiling over. But they didn't take that opportunity, so now they will continue to accelerate the suffering until there is no choice left for the people but to kill or die. It's especially interesting that they didn't chose to bargain with the working class, since there is so much surplus value that the United States takes from the "third world" through unequal exchange, imperialism, etc. and some of that surplus value can be used to pacify the working class and drown whatever revolutionary ideas they have while they're still in the crib. But there is a total refusal to even consider bargaining.
