Bernie Sanders, A Political And Economic Theory Of Social Organization

Bernie Sanders once said “Finally, let [us] understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win.” Bernie Sanders started as a young activist fighting to desegregate and end the Vietnam war, As he got older he dwelled into politics and became a self identified socialist; he competed against corporate backing and a corrupt political system yet remained true to his beliefs of Universal Health Care System, affordable education, better social security and welfare, the right for a woman to choose what she wants for her body, cares for the environment, but most importantly, Bernie Sanders believes in America.

The 2016 Presidential Election is coming sooner and sooner as each day passes, and it’s approaching the point where all eligible voters need to become informed about the each of the Democrat and Republican candidates running in the 2016 Presidential bid. The voter should be aware of what each candidate represents and what their values are and from that the voter can decide which candidate suits their beliefs best and vote for said candidate when the time comes. In this upcoming election, in my opinion, the candidate that wants the best for the majority of the citizens of the United States is Senator Bernie Sanders. His views in politics, connect with many poor and middle class families because all throughout his political career and his 2016

Politics is a very important thing that runs one of the greatest countries, which is the U.S.A. In this year 's Presidential Election the main candidates are Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Hilary Clinton. Bernie Sanders is the best choice for America. Bernie Sanders was born in 1941 in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated in the University of Chicago. Bernie believed in Civil Rights and was part of CORE(Congress of Racial Equality). He participated in the March on Washington. Bernie became the mayor of Burlington, Virginia in 1981 and served for four terms until 1989. In 1990 he made it to the U.S. House of Representatives until 2007. In 2015 he announced he would run for Democratic presidential nomination. He now competes against the Republican Donald Trump. He is a better candidate because he believes in racial justice, combating climate change, and a fair immigration policy.

Many cite Democratic-Socialism runs crossgrain to the American way of life. According to FeelTheBern.org, many of the procedures and taxes Sanders’ seeks to implement have already existed in America under Republican administrations in the Cold War (Bernie Sanders on the Federal Budget & National Debt), where socialism was the Red Devil. Other, strategies Bernie Sanders believes will rejuvenate the American economy while lowering debt seems polar to John Kasich’s straightforward cut and cut cut again policy. Sanders wants to expand entitlement programs, rebuild America’s decaying infrastructure, and eliminate higher public education costs (How Bernie Sanders Pays for His Proposals). Sanders’ suggests that these programs will add jobs to millions of Americans, lift up young Americans, and will be a tremendous return on investment (Bernie Sanders on the Federal Budget & National Debt). How will he pay for this? Sanders says by making the upper class and corporations pay their fair share into the system, decreasing defense spending, all the while giving the middle class American some fresh air (How Bernie Sanders Pays for His

One metapor used to describe contemporary elections is “choosing the lesser of two evils”, however, unlike other elections, this year's is one of the most controversial and dividing elections in recent years. This year there is a chance for change, and currently there are four main head runners for the presidential nomination; out of these candidates only one shines as someone who will really change the US for the better, Bernie Sanders. He plans to rejuvenate the economy, and support the middle and lower class. Bernie also is easily one of the only candidates that support civil rights that help the people, not some values that would increase voter polls. When it comes to international affairs Bernie respects other countries and understands

Bernie Sanders is socialist but is written down as a independent which is a big turnoff for most people. When people think of socialist they think of Lenin, Castro, and Stalin who were not the most pleasant of people. Sanders totally different then all of them though. First off he’s Jewish and these people don't seem Jewish. Second off he has not killed anybody like the people listed. And third is he has modern and past democratic views. He is a supporter of gay marriage and abortion which is modern democratic views. He wants the minimum wage raised which has been an ongoing fight for many years with republicans and democrats fighting over it. One more thing he's done is trying to reach out to our younger generation who is voting for the first time. In a New York Times article entitled “The Socialist Senator”, he visited South Burlington High School where he answer some question to some 6o kids. This is what you want in a president, who speaks at schools and answer question for them. In another New York Times Article, he states, “Doctors have told me about patients who died because they put off their medical visits until it was too late”(Sanders, 3). This proves a point that he does not want people to die. Now we can disagree that Sanders should or should not be president but what we can most definitely agree on is we don't want people to

One controversial issue with the senator’s policies is how his bills are going to be passed. If Bernie Sanders were elected, his bills would not make it through the Republican majority congress that is in the United States today. The only option that he is left with is to campaign for a democratic congress; however, “Sanders should be out campaigning for progressive candidates for House and Senate across the country in Democratic primaries, and would need to campaign hard this fall to defeat dozens of Republican incumbents across the country” (Caffrey). In the words of Matt Caffrey, “he hasn’t done any of that.”

Bernie Sander is a socialist who is currently running for 2016 presidential election. However, sanders believe that he a democratic socialist. From my point of view, I believe he is a socialist. He frames his political view that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy. His fight for equal treatment of the poor and middle class and against the billionaire class is the central focus of his campaign, and the socialist mantle has positioned him further left of Center than Clinton. He aimed toward providing free college; and there are many more things that sander’s want to promise to the people of the United States. Bernie Sander wants to provide equality for all; and that what make him a socialist. I think it unfair

In making this case, Sanders often harkens back to FDR: “[Roosevelt] saw one-third of the nation ill-housed, ill-clad and ill-nourished and he acted, against the ferocious opposition of the ruling class of his day. … Roosevelt implemented a series of programs that put millions of Americans back to work, took them out of dire poverty and restored their faith in government. Almost every program he produced, every idea he introduced, was called socialist.”

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.” said Franklin D. Roosevelt in his second inaugural address. Today, social inequality is highly apparent and many of the United States’ political candidates are unable to do anything to resolve it. Bernard “Bernie” Sanders, a democratic socialist, is the best candidate to resolve social inequality along with other problems the nation has today. Bernie Sanders has proven himself to be a defender of the people with his stance for social inequality and his plans on reforming the nation.

Bernie Sander’s economic plan is the only plan that makes the Middle Class and poverty its main focus. (Khusro, Tariq; Huffington Post.com) Why keep working long hours only to get what you’ve always gotten? Sanders want to not only improve America, but also it’s working class. By improving the roads, railways, and water sewage systems, Sanders is also creating more jobs (Fowardprogressives.com). Sanders stands firmly on the belief of “no one working hours a week, should still live in poverty”. Sanders also wants to raise minimum wage to 14 $ an

Presently, Bernie Sanders is part of the democratic party and is the only candidate that has an economic plan that focuses on the middle class and poverty. Sanders has a host of exceptional proposals that would have an important bearing on poverty and opportunity. One of his proposals includes raising the minimum wage. Sanders has consistently advocated raising the minimum wage to fifteen

self-described Democratic socialist, Sanders has spent his years fighting for the labor movement and reversing economic inequality. However, given his socialist views and liberal policies, the potential stock market backlash, the dismantling of large

Bernie Sanders takes a very forthright approach on income inequality. He states that “In the year 2015, no one working 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.” He would amend this by raising the minimum wage from 7.50 an hour all the way up to 15 dollars an hour. He has also stated that he will begin taxing big corporations more heavily, and hopes to use that money to fund public works such as rebuilding bridges, roads, railways, airports, public transit systems, and so much more. Bernie Sanders truly wishes to improve the standard of living for your average family and have them be able to be self-sustaining without the need for government welfare.

Democratic presidential runner, Bernie Sanders, promotes himself as a democratic socialist, but what exactly does this title mean? When breaking down the term, one, of course, comes up with “democrat” and “socialist” Most people probably know what democracy is, but many are confused as to what socialism entails. By definition, socialism is a a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people. Thus socialism, is the exact opposite of democracy by depriving the individual of money, land, and property.
