Script

Original:

I told Bernie that I would make the, um, tax system more progressive, that I would have paid, uh, you know, twice as much in taxes, but I, I would still be a billionaire. Uh, so he, he would get rid of 99% of my money, I'd only get rid of 50% of it. Uh- But if he got rid of bi- I'm biased. If he got 99% of your money, you'd still be a multi-billionaire.

Translated:

Bernie'ye, vergi sistemini daha da ilerici hale getireceğimi, hatta şu an ödediğimin iki katı kadar vergi ödemeyi kabul edeceğimi, ancak buna rağmen hala bir milyarder olarak kalacağımı söylemiştim. Yani o paramın %99'unu alırdı, ben ise sadece %50'sinden vazgeçerdim. Ama alsaydı... Taraflı. Paranızın %99'u alınsa da çok zengin kalırdınız.
