“Well, he’s wrong,” Sanders said. “Sixty percent of the benefits go to people who were on Pell grants, 87 percent of the benefits go to people who are making $75,000 a year [or less].”
“Look, I know it is shocking, George, to some Republicans that the government actually, on occasion, does something to benefit working families and low-income people,” Sanders continued. “I don’t hear any of these Republicans squawking when we give massive tax breaks to billionaires, when we have an effective tax rate today such that the one percent are having a lower effective tax rate than working people. We have major corporations in a given year [that] don’t pay a nickel in federal taxes.
