Bernie Sanders would be a better president than libertarian, Gary Johnson

I would like to start off by just listing the issues where Bernie Sanders and Gary Johnson agree so that people see that these two candidates really only differ on a few key issues. They are both okay with gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, woman's right to chose (difference on cutoff point), shrinking and consolidating the military, and avoiding foreign entanglements. Bernie Sanders is a self proclaimed democratic socialist, and his biggest argument in his candidacy for president has been focusing on narrowing the wage gap between the 1% and the 99%. This gap is the largest it has ever been since 1920 (https://berniesanders.com...) and has made us the country with the largest wage inequality. And Bernie Sander, unlike Gary Johnson, has a plan to combat this issue that I believe will work. By requiring the companies that have received so much of the wealth going into the marketplace to pay their fair share of taxes, we can provide for programs that lift up the middle class and narrow this gap. This would also help raise our lower income families support themselves with programs such as raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020. Gary Johnson on the other hand seeks to eliminate the income tax for businesses. Hoping that the so called trickle down economic method will create jobs and raise the middle class, but unfortunately their is little evidence that suggests that money ever leaves the top of the food chain of that company. Companies will still pay their employers the least amount possible and CEO's will pocket the most amount of money they can. This is not to say that these CEO's are doing anything wrong, because who would give more money than they absolutely have to? Bernie Sanders has a plan that does not change the tax rates of middle class families and the working class. Johnson has pushed for a completely new tax code that would tax everyone the same, and mathematically that would require raising the tax rates for people who make little money. Bernie Sanders' programs, such as Rebuilding America to fix our infrastructure, expanding social security, and his free state college plan, have not raised taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 per year. And these are not even tax raises, it just requires these people to pay the taxes that they already owe but get out of because of tax loopholes. Another hot button issue in this country is the environment. Both of our candidates do agree that the climate in this county is changing which is good because we do not have to dive into the pit of environmental change deniers. The only concern I have is that Johnson has not pushed and discourages the government pushing green energy change. This country needs an almost complete shift to green energy, this is the only way to make us truly non-dependent on foreign oil and to protect our landscape and our citizens. Bernie Sanders has pushed to tax carbon pollution and to get rid of the subsidies already in place for oil and gas companies.Gary Johnson only sees this issues in terms of dollars and cents, "Is the climate changing? Probably so. Is man contributing to that change? Probably so. The important question, however, is whether the government"s efforts to regulate, tax and manipulate the marketplace in order to impact that change are cost-effective". The environment is not something to ignore because you are too focused on passing a balanced budget. Sanders also believes in expanding social security, while Johnson believes in privatizing social security, a decision that will only lead to a complete failure in the entire system, or even worse, would be these companies that would control ss investing this money and in turn loosing all the money, leaving people with no ss. Social Security is not failing like republicans like to suggest, when social security was enacted almost half of all senior citizens lived in poverty, that number is now down to 10%. By eliminating the cap of 250k on social security tax Sanders will be able to expand social security so that our older generation makes more than the average $8,300.
