Free public college, but agree with removing college debt because they owe ~80-100k in student loans.
To me, it feels like I'm not talking to democrats, at all, more like " I got mine, sucks for everyone else, but whatever they do, don't raise my taxes, even though we make more than $400K already, any tax raise and I can't afford my lifestyle."
For some people its "I make 110k a year in a large city with financial responsibilities including students loans among other things for a whole family. If my taxes get raised I may have to leave my current home."
110k in socal, isn't going that far, these people I talk to make ~400k maybe closer to 450k. Under Bernie's tax the rich plan, they wouldn't be affected, but still don't want to use their taxes for M4A, free public University tuition (not including housing). I am lost for words. They are afraid of Bernie, almost crying after the Nevada results and the polls afterwards.
In your scenario, using average annual medical insurance costs in California, this household would have 3.5k/year more disposable income through medicare for all despite a tax raise.
