What I do believe absolutely is that in the middle of a recession, the American middle class and working class needs a tax relief.

In my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which puts millions of our people back to work. We must end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to fight for pay equity for women.

In the last presidential election Obama and Romney raised about $1 billion each. The Koch brothers, the second wealthiest family in America, now say they will raise nearly $1 billion for the 2016 elections. When one family can raise as much as an entire party, the system is broken. This is oligarchy, not democracy. We must overturn Citizens United.

Giving up is not an option if we want to prevent irreparable harm to our planet.
Bernie Sanders

I am extraordinarily proud of the campaign that we ran. The issues that we raised, the fact that we got 13 million Americans to vote for a political revolution.

People are hurting and angry, and they want something to be able to stand up and fight for. That's what I believe the antidote is to Trumpism.
Bernie Sanders

These are the same people who believe, in some cases, the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.

In America, we have lost millions of decent-paying jobs. That has got to end.

My mission is to raise incomes for hard working middle class families. If you work hard and do your part you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead.

Are we prepared to take on the enormous political power of the billionaire class or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy?
