The former presidential candidate spoke at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts in Green Bay. He says the Trump Tax Plan is hurting middle class Americans despite most people seeing an increase in their paychecks under the plan.

The senator and the Non-Partisan Tax Policy Center say the breaks won't last long.

Sanders also touched on education and jobs.

“All over this country, we have young people who cannot get the technical education they need to get the good jobs out there, we have young people as we've heard already this evening who are graduating college or graduate school 50 or $100,000 in debt,” Sanders.

A few business owners also spoke saying the tax plan will only help big businesses like Foxconn.
