More quotes by Bernie Sanders
I have not heard almost anybody suggest that raising the minimum wage to the level we have in Vermont has been an impediment to our economy which is doing reasonably well ... If somebody is going to work that person has got to receive at least a wage that they can go out and live with dignity on. That's an extremely important point.
Bernie Sanders
Donald Trump believes that climate change is a hoax. Now, this is not just a stupid expression, but it is incredibly dangerous.
Bernie Sanders
What are the moral implications? What do these people do when they have tremendous amounts of money? They use that money to perpetuate their own wealth and their own power. Every day, Congress works on behalf of big-money interests.
Bernie Sanders
Health care in America must be a right, not a privilege.
Bernie Sanders
The Affordable Care Act has clearly, as Secretary Clinton made the point, done a lot of good things, but, what it has not done is dealt with the fact we have 29 million people today who have zero health insurance, we have even more who are underinsured with large deductibles and copayments and prescription drug prices are off the wall.
Bernie Sanders
We have got to mobilize people and rethink our commitment in terms of what our role is in the political process.
Bernie Sanders
I think the immediate thing is we stand up to protect those people who are in trouble.
Bernie Sanders
There's no question to my mind and I think no question to any objective observer's mind that the DNC was supporting Hillary Clinton and was at opposition to our campaign. So I'm not quite shocked by this. And that is why many, many months ago I made it clear that I thought Debbie Wasserman Schultz should resign, should step down.
Bernie Sanders
In the United States today we have the most unequal wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth - worse than at any time since the 1920s. This is an economy that must be changed in fundamental ways.
Bernie Sanders
I fully, fully concede that Secretary Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of State for four years, has more experience - hat is not arguable - in foreign affairs.
Bernie Sanders
Ben Carson and I don`t have much in common politically. But the fact is when you have kids getting involved in the political process, doing their best to elect the candidates of their choice, that`s what the American democracy is about.
Bernie Sanders
You want to know the way to raise money? Put a transaction fee on Wall Street, so maybe we can curb some of the speculation and raise some money.
Bernie Sanders
People don't trust private health insurance companies for all the right reasons.
Bernie Sanders
I think my experience at the University of Chicago, working in the civil rights movement, working in the peace movement, working with community organizations, did a lot to influence the politics that I have.
Bernie Sanders
The case to be made is that we have got to get people involved - continue to get people involved in the political process at every level.
Bernie Sanders
Here's what income and wealth inequality is about. Last year, the top 25 hedge fund managers made more than 24 billion, enough to pay the salaries of 425,000 public school teachers. This level of inequality is neither moral or sustainable
Bernie Sanders
Americans' right to free speech should not be proportionate to their bank accounts.
Bernie Sanders
Today, the United States is No. 1 in corporate profits, No. 1 in CEO salaries, No. 1 in childhood poverty and No. 1 in income and wealth inequality in the industrialized world.
Bernie Sanders
We need a strategy. And the goal is to bring millions of people together.
Bernie Sanders
Israel has an absolute right to exist - not only to exist - but to exist in a way that they're not under threat of terrorism.
