The biggest change is removing the SS cap, so that the payroll tax would be collected from those earning more than $130K, and increasing investment income tax.
You act as if the government is placing collected SS funds in a separate account, rather than including every penny collected in the general fund and spending every penny of it on the latest flavor de jour spending project.
If Americans companies suddenly wants to leave the US, because they will have to pay more taxes... well, then add extra taxes or tariffs on all goods and services they try to sell in the US
I am sure they will reconsider..
Letting corporations doing whatever they want is a thing of the past!!
Bernie Sanders is NOT against small to medium businesses.. he is against multi nationals that will do everything to earn money and leave nothing in taxes to the society that lets them earn their profits!
This translates to:
Theft is OK as long as government is the one committing the theft.
Edited to add: According to your last sentence, Bernie and the government will be picking winners and losers of the tax scam. Of course there is nothing in that scenario which leaves a potential to punish one's political enemies, huh?

They aren't, that is true. It would at least stop the excuses about how it's going to run out of money.
We come up with all the money we want to spend for the military and never a word about paying for it. So if you want to argue that S.S. is going to run out of money so we have to cut, you can pay up more in taxes.

When someone like China steals intellectual property a business quickly runs to the government to address their grievances. That costs money. If you want to argue for a completely free range economy where anyone can steal anything, argue it but you aren't going to get anywhere.

No, I did not say anything about any separate accounts. Europeans do that, not us.
You always hear critics claim that Bernie Sanders has no way to pay for his policies. Well the below link breaks down exactly how he would fund every single one of his proposals.
