Most of Bernie's supporters believe this and there isn't enough air in my lungs to ever convince them otherwise. This is the same populist/progressive argument that has been used since one person first believed they got the short end of the stick. Many of these people believe they are on a righteous crusade to right inequality (as they see it). Being a SJW has it's own religious fervor. Many believe they are continuing the struggle by "trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored."
This is why a flat tax, both for individuals and corporations (possibly separate rates), is a good idea in my book. Shuts them down from the get-go.
