Pelosi distances Democrats from Sanders's plan to raise taxes

The Hill reports:

Democrats are not on board with the tax hikes Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has proposed to pay for his single-payer healthcare proposal, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday.

"We're not running on any platform of raising taxes," Pelosi said during a press briefing to launch the Democrats' yearly issues conference in Baltimore, Md. "We do want to have a fairer tax system, and … we hope that we can do that this year."

Comrade Pelosi worries Comrade Sanders is being too truthful about the costs of socialism. Is Nancy Pelosi closer in political philosophy to Comrade Sanders than Ted Cruz? It appears so.
