Bernie Sanders paid less on taxes than Donald Trump because he has exponentially less money. He's currently one of the poorer members of Congress (comparatively), and though Trump pays more, it's still considerably less than what he's supposed to be paying (if old tax returns are any indication) and it's considerably less than what he can afford to pay or should pay.

And he's not campaigning against people being rich. He's campaigning against those who are rich that have excess and are either not doing anything to help anyone with it or are exploiting people to get even more. Bernie Sanders has donated considerable amounts to charities and has marched with people on strike for much of his life. He has more money than average, especially now, but it's not like he keeps it to himself.
