The proposal would raise an estimated $150 billion over a decade if current compensation patterns continue.

    It’s not about the bill. It’s about documenting who votes against it.

    I think it’s more about showing the American public that their elected officials are bought and paid for. An attempt to wake up the masses and show them who they should be raging against. Bernie has spent his life trying to blow the whistle on the wealth disparity that has been destabilizing the country

    Yeah, I don't disagree with you there. Bernie has spent his life, in vain, trying to do decently by his constituents and the empire's populace through political means. It has never worked, and now we are deeper in fascism than ever in living memory.
