In 2013 Citigroup had profits of $6.4 billion in the United States. They paid no federal income tax and, in fact, received a rebate from the IRS of $260 million. That same year J.P. Morgan had $17.2 billion in profits in the U.S. They also paid no federal income tax. Do you think it's time for tax reform?

Most people that I know don believe that a handful of corporations request sit together without disclosure, by the way, and pump hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the political process. That is not the democracy that many of us believe America should be.
Bernie Sanders
We still have people in the active duty, and if people are feeling ill, if they're experiencing various symptoms and they're still in the active duty, they're less likely to come forward because that could result in their medical discharge.
Bernie Sanders
We are imprisoning or giving jail sentences to young people who are smoking marijuana.
Bernie Sanders
The Cold War is over. And our focus has got to be on intelligence, increased manpower, fighting internationally targets.
Bernie Sanders
We have to fundamentally rethink our trade policy and make it work not for the CEOs of large corporations, but for working people. So, if Trump wants to develop a rational trade policy which demands corporations start investing in this country, rather than China, that's something that we can work on.
Bernie Sanders
CEOs of large corporations earn 400 times what their workers make. That is not what America is supposed to be about.
Bernie Sanders
I am very glad, Anderson, that secretary Clinton discovered religion on this issue but it's a little bit too late. Secretary Clinton supported virtually every one of the disastrous trade agreements written by corporate America.
Bernie Sanders
We are rapidly moving toward a nation of the super-rich, by the super-rich and for the super-rich
Bernie Sanders
I think the American people in many cases want to transform our energy system.
Bernie Sanders
Setting aside labels, I am somebody who believes that government in a democratic society should be representing the needs of the vast majority of the people who are middle-class and working families.
Bernie Sanders
No president, not the smartest, best human being in the world can do it alone. You cannot take on this, the power that is in Washington, to billionaires and lobbyist, the military industrial complex, all of this money and power, you can`t do it. You need a mass movement of American who are looking in congress and we say directly.
Bernie Sanders
