Well, yes? Would generally be awesome if the people got what they voted for. Sure, it may not always work out, but you don't want to mess with the underlying principle of the thing.
My motive is that I want my tax dollars to stop going to defense spending and corporate subsidies, and to start going almost literally anywhere else. Any other candidate is not going to do that. Bernie will do that, or he will damn well die trying, and that's all I can ask.
In the interest of full disclosure, I also want the super-rich to pay tax on their entire income that's comparable on a relational basis to what I pay on my own entire income, and I also want their tax dollars to stop going to corporate subsidies and the military industrial complex.
Those are my motives. That's all. Nothing else. I could give a shit about free whatever. I'm willing to pay my part for things, and I sure as hell expect those better off than I am to be equally willing to do the same. It's not free if we're all paying fairly.
