I have read his plan. The problem is that it ignores economic reality. NOTHING is for free. Someone always has to pay for the "free" stuff. When it's just a little bit of "free" stuff (like what we had up until the 1960s), we could tax the rich and corporations (though companies pass that cost onto their customers, you realize?) and the middle class didn't feel the pinch, though they started to feel it when private medical costs were driven higher by Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and when college tuition started hiking because of Pell grants. But when you start offering a great deal more "free" stuff, taxes have to become much more broadly based ... meaning the middle class will see their taxes go up, not down. Research England and the Scandanavian countries to learn the truth about taxes in socialist "utopias". It's not pretty. The American Founders would have called it tyranny.
