melissa: how to pay for it is always to tax the rich. everyone says that every time. remember when they tried that in france a whole bunch of people left? didn't work. the real point was they didn't take in nearly the revenue that they had calculated. because a lot of people were too smart and they left the country. they eventually had to repeal it. it didn't work out. i would also say that if you confiscated the wealth of the top 1% and threw them in jail and took away everything they earned in a year, it would be a few trillion dollars and you couldn't pay for all of these programs they are talking about. medicare for all, student loan, all of those things. there isn't enough rich people to pay for what they want to. even if he took away their earnings and through them in jail. >> katie: charlie, your forte is working with young people, young millennials were in college come out of college. what do you have to say about her proposal? >> first of all, i don't think it's very fair for students who worked their way through college and had manageable student loan debt. this caters to students that had tens of
