Wait, is the idea to buy that 50%?

I don't know what their plan is, but that is one way to "own half". I'm really hoping that isn't their plan, but this administration seems to love shoveling tax money to people who don't deserve it.
> I don't know what their plan

The plan Bernie Sanders is proposing is clearly stated in TFA, which is to take 50% of shares as a one-time tax, not as a purchase.

No, it isn't, it's to take 50% as a tax, as stated in TFA.
Yeah that's more sensible.
