Bernie Sanders is up to his old tricks in his latest attempt to “sock it to the rich.” He has introduced a bill in the Senate that would impose a 5% tax surcharge on CEOs who get paid 500 times what the average worker at the firm earns.  He calls his bill: “Time to Rein in the Millionaire and Billionaire CEOs.”

This bill is predicated on the notion that the rich don’t “pay their fair share of taxes.” Alas, polling indicates that most Americans agree with him.

This got us wondering whether Bernie Sanders and ordinary folks know who pays the taxes in America.

So here is the question for the day that we intend to ask in an upcoming poll.

How much in taxes does Jeff Bezos pay each year?

A) less than the average American in taxes
B) about the same
C) somewhat more
D) 100,000 times as much
E) I don’t know because I’m a Progressive who doesn’t pay any taxes

We will report back our findings in. A few weeks.
