It is a dictatorship. They did have a good health - do have a decent health care system and a decent educational system. A lot of people have left Cuba for better dreams, to fulfill their aspirations.

More quotes by Bernie Sanders
This is what income inequality means in America, and why the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. According to a recent study, CEO pay is now 295 times more than the pay of a typical worker. In 1965, the differential was 20 times. We must create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.
Bernie Sanders
When I was a young boy, I can remember in the community that I grew up in, seeing people in the community who had numbers that were on their arms.
Bernie Sanders
The main problem of America is that you're seeing people working all over this country two jobs, they're working three jobs, and they're getting nowhere in a hurry. They're working hard. They can't afford to send their kids to college in many instances. They can't afford child care for their little babies. They're worried to death about retirement.
Bernie Sanders
You know, I think many people have the mistaken impression that Congress regulates Wall Street. In truth that's not the case. The real truth is that Wall Street regulates the Congress.
Bernie Sanders
I worry very much about kids growing up in a society where they think: I'm not going to talk about this issue, read this book or explore this idea because someone may think I'm a terrorist. That's not the kind of free society I want for our children.
Bernie Sanders
I think the Democratic Party has got to make fundamental choices.
Bernie Sanders
The American people want to raise the minimum wage. Every poll tells us that. That bill will not get to the floor of the Senate. The American people want to ask the rich to pay more in taxes. But the legislation that will get to the floor is tax breaks for billionaires.
Bernie Sanders
It's absurd we remain the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people and paid family and medical leave.
Bernie Sanders
Here's something that I believe we have to do as we put together an international coalition, and that is we have to understand that the Muslim nations in the region - Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Jordan - all of these nations, they're going to have to get their hands dirty, their boots on the ground. They are going to have to take on ISIS.
Bernie Sanders
At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. A full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line.
Bernie Sanders
I think the American people in many cases want to transform our energy system.
Bernie Sanders
When people get out of jail, it is not easy for them to find a job. It is not easy for them to return to civil society.
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
I very strongly supported the agreement which makes certain that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon.
Bernie Sanders
Our goal there, in my view, is to work and lean strongly on China to put as much pressure. China is one of the few major countries in the world that has significant support for North Korea, and I think we got to do everything we can to put pressure on China. I worry very much about an isolated, paranoid country with atomic bombs.
Bernie Sanders
I am very proud to be the only candidate up here who does not have a Super PAC, who's not raising huge sums of money from Wall Street...
Bernie Sanders
I am very proud of the campaign we ran and the supporters that came on board.
Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way, who are not all that enamored with the establishment, but I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva in the House, the co-chairmen of the House Progressive Caucus.
Bernie Sanders
Please don't suggest that I think we normalize relations with Tehran tomorrow. We don't. But I would like to see us move forward, and hopefully some day that will happen.
Bernie Sanders
I have one of the strongest records in fighting for senior citizens. I led the effort to prevent cuts to Social Security. But I think for some seniors, they remember the evil empire of the Soviet Union. They conflated the term democratic socialism with communism.
