Bernie Sanders on the Issues

I don't care what side of the aisle that you're on, if what he says is not resonating with you, you may need to do some introspection.  

Income Inequality: 
"There is far too little discussion in Washington about the collapse of the middle class , almost no discussion at all about the incredible income inequality and wealth inequality in this country, and the fact that we're moving toward an oligarch form of society."
"A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little."

Climate Change: 
"The United States must lead the world in tackling climate change to make certain that this planet is habitable for our children and grandchildren. We must transform our energy system away from polluting fossil fuels and towards energy efficiency and sustainability. Millions of homes and buildings need to be weatherized and we need to greatly accelerate technological progress in wind and solar power generation.

Unless we take bold action to address climate change, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are going to look back on this period in history and ask a very simple question: Where were they? Why didn’t the United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth, lead the international community in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and preventing the devastating damage that the scientific community was sure would come?"

Education: 
"Education should be a right, not a privilege. We need a revolution in the way that the United States funds higher education."
“We must fundamentally restructure our student loan program. It makes no sense that students and their parents are forced to pay interest rates for higher education loans that are much higher than they pay for car loans or housing mortgages.”

Minimum Wage: 
“What America is supposed to be about is if you work 40 hours a week, you earn enough money to take care of your kids and your family,” he said. “You can’t do that on seven-and-a-quarter-an-hour and you can’t do it on nine bucks-an-hour,  you can’t do it on $10 an hour.”

Campaign Finance: 
“You’re looking at a nation with a grotesquely unequal distribution of wealth and income, tremendous economic power on Wall Street and now added to all of that is big money interests — the billionaires and corporations now buying elections, I fear very much that if we don’t turn this around, we’re heading toward an oligarchic form of society.” 
Unless the campaign financing system is reformed, the U.S. Congress will become paid employees of the people who pay for their campaigns -- the billionaire class.
