OVER 100 QUOTES FROM BERNIE SANDERS - ranging from topics such as the political revolution, wall street, money in politics, poverty, income inequality, healthcare, criminal justice reform, war and peace, the environment, religion, education, and the 2016 US Presidential elections.
Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Senator who swept America to its feet with his speeches on economic inequality and social justice, went on to win 46% of the pledged delegates nationwide with over 12 million votes against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. His candidacy was not just about Bernie Sanders, but a movement that seeks to revolutionize our political system to be more of a government that is by the people, for the people.
EXCERPTS...
“I am going to do my best to try to create a country in which children are not living in poverty, in which kids can go to college, in which old people have health care. Will I succeed? I can't guarantee you that, but I can tell you that from a human point of view it is better to show up than to give up.” - Bernie Sanders
“I don't represent large corporations and I don't want their money.” - Bernie Sanders
"In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign. Corporations should not be able to go into their treasuries and spend millions and millions of dollars on a campaign in order to buy elections." - Bernie Sanders
"Bad trade deals like the proposed Transpacific Partnership are a major reason for the collapse of the American middle class and the increase in wealth and income inequality in the United States. This agreement, like bad trade deals before it, would force American workers to compete with desperate workers around the world – including workers in Vietnam where the minimum wage is 56-cents an hour. Trade agreements should not just work for corporate America, Wall Street and the pharmaceutical industry. They have got to benefit the working families of our country. We must defeat fast track and develop a new policy on trade." - Bernie Sanders
“A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.” - Bernie Sanders
"A job should lift workers out of poverty, not keep them in it." - Bernie Sanders
“Injustice is rampant. We live in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. But most Americans don’t know that. Because almost all of that wealth and income is going to the top one percent.” - Bernie Sanders
“Let me say - let me say something that may not be great politics. But I think the secretary is right, and that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” - Bernie Sanders
