Bernie Sanders on C-SPAN: American Hero, Must Watch

"I am absolutely sure that millions of people in one way or another are telling the same stories. These are great Americans. These are people who work, people who want to do the best they can by their kids, and they are simply not making it right now. These people. This is the United States of America, year 2010. People are going cold. People are going cold. People don’t have enough food. People are homeless. And my friends here are talking about tax breaks for billionaires? My friends here are talking about lowering rates on the estate tax for the top 3/10 of 1% of the American people? What are we talking about? What kind of priorities are these?"

Bernie Sanders, 5:11 EST today. Hour 6.75

Wake Up, America. In the race to the bottom, winning is not the goal. We are crushing the country, rewarding the richest over and over again. What has this country come to?

As winter approaches, it's just going to get worse.
