Interview With Bernie Sanders

The government of the United States is bought and sold like stocks. Billionaires and corporations have poured an incomprehensible amount of money into thousands of political campaigns. According to opensecrets.org, the average cost to win a senate race is now $11,474,362. For the 2016 presidential race alone the Koch brothers plan on spending $889 million. It is nearly impossible to win an election without the support of billionaires and corporations. The impact that money has on elections has spiraled of control. A political revolution to fix the power the wealthy have in politics is already happening. Senator Bernie Sanders is the one leading this revolution. Even without the revolutionary policies, Sanders would set in place to end the American Oligarchy his campaign is still important. Sanders leading by example and showing the country that it is possible to run a campaign without support from the elite. Sanders campaign has raised $75 million so far with an average donation of only $25. If

Time magazine shows how much popularity and support Sanders has received (“The Gospel” 34). A politician who is not afraid to stand up for what he or she trusts will make this nation grow for the future. Bernie Sanders shows this nation that if freedom and equality is given regardless of what color skin you are, where you come from, or how much money and power you have, will make a better

According Forbes Magazine, in the year 2010, a year that was not even a presidential election, the Koch brothers contributed over $45,000,000 to campaigns through a group they deemed “Americans for Prosperity” (Poole). With this money going towards the men in congress almost any legislation proposed by President Obama has been stalled, resulting in what is known as a policy gridlock. Whatever the case, seeing the huge money being contributed by individuals or their businesses, makes the campaigns run by people such as Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders more admirable for not being bought out by big money.

Over the last few years, education has become more of a priority and crime has become more of an issue. Kids are dropping out of school and more people are going to jail each and every day. Our country needs a president that makes sure these topics are taken care of effectively. That person is Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders should be the next president of the United States of America.

I chose Bernie sanders as the candidate that I would vote for. A couple of issues that I care about that Sanders also stands for are healthcare for all and same-sex marriage. Sanders position on everyone being able to have healthcare is supportive. In an interview with Ezra Klein of Vox, Sanders responded with, “Health care, to my mind, is a right of all people. That's what I believe. I think every man, woman, and child is entitled to health care”(1). He believes that healthcare should not be something that we have to qualify and fight for but that it should be our right to have good healthcare. He made a point by saying that despite having the affordable care act, we still have so many people that are still uninsured and underinsured while our country is paying almost double what any other nation faces (2). Sanders is for healthcare for all because he believes it’s our right to it despite our income and not be discriminated against for reasons such as our gender or previous health issues. He believes we shouldn’t be discriminated against just because we might have had a health issue that the insurance companies consider a higher risk of needing help later, which would mean

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

For example, he wants to increase minimum wage to $15 an hour. Millions of Americans are working for inadequate wages; Senator Sanders calls them starvation wages. Corporations will not solve this problem; raising the minimum wage is the best answer. Senator Sanders also wants to make public colleges tuition free. He has proposed the idea to create tuition-free education at public universities. By making public universities affordable to all, Senator Sanders brings more opportunities to all. The idea includes funding the program through a small transaction tax on Wall Street trades. This is just an example of how he advocates for raising the tax burden of the wealthiest. He strongly believes our economic system is rigged in favor of the billionaire class. Almost all new income growth since the recession has gone to the top 1 percent. The top one-tenth of that 1 percent already owns as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent combined. Income inequality in the United States is has not been this extensive since the

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.

The United States is considered the wealthiest country on earth, yet children yearn for food, people live on the streets and citizens cannot afford their medication. This is what a rigged economic system looks like. This country is in need of a major change that will benefit every single person living here. Bernie Sanders should be the next president of the United States because he is a promoter for a progressive policy revolution that could save the minorities in this country.

Bernie Sanders is a U.S senator from Vermont. He is running for president of the United States of America for the Democratic Party. He came to test appeal with African Americans. So I was very interesting to see if he could appeal most of my fellow students. To tell the truth I believe that he did really win over the votes of most of my fellow students. Unlike most students I wasn’t really won over. He talk bout how he wanted to change minimum wage to $15. That’s great that he wasn’t to rise it so high. I want to know how was he going to rise it that high? What going to be the cause of him rising the minimum wage so high. But everyone shout with praised because the think more money makes everything better. I sat in my sit thinking what going

“(Sanders). He acknowledges the most pressing issues and recognizes that these issues are the ones that demand our attention now. Sanders is prepared to stand for and with us as we try to decrease the inequality gap and confront the issues of immigration, gun control, and health care.

Dissecting Sanders’ speech, because that is what one does when relating the works of Orwell to any other piece of literature, through the critically tinted lenses of Orwell’s Politics and the English Language, it can be unequivocally surmised that Orwell would deem it unreadable drivel, “The first is staleness of imagery: the other is lack of precision. The writer either has a meaning and cannot express it, or inadvertently says something else, or he is almost indifferent as to whether his words mean anything or not” (4). Sanders’ imagery is extremely stale, “My fellow Americans…” (8) Seriously? Being a natural born American citizen is a requirement to run for the Presidency. This is ludicrously superfluous. It’s akin to addressing someone

Bernie Sanders’ political discourse has catapulted him to one of the front-runners of the 2016 presidential race. Sanders’ is bringing forth his thoughts and ideas that represent who he is. The representation precedes how Sanders wants to govern and transport his ideas into meaningful content. One of Sanders key rhetorical strategies has been to bring awareness to how capitalism and politics are intertwined and how this relationship impacts the American people.

With over 9 million votes and 42% of the popular vote in the Democratic Party primaries, one man has started what he calls a “political revolution”. He has gained widespread support for a political ideology that he calls democratic socialism through funneling the anger of Americans toward banks, the upper class, and trade deals. While he may seem appealing to many Americans, his flaws greatly outweigh his strengths. Bernie Sanders should not be the next President of the United States because his economic policies are extremely irresponsible and in some cases dangerous.

The Koch brothers alone plan to spend roughly nine hundred million dollars in the coming 2016 election, which is a larger figure than both major parties combined spent last election. Bernie Sanders believed this is the oligarchy the framers were afraid of and that congress needs to pass a constitutional amendment to move towards the public funding of elections. Sanders has introduced the Democracy is for People amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s ruling in the 2010 Citizens United decision which swept out campaign finance laws that were in place to prevent the wealthy gaining more influence over the United States’ political system. He has voted for the Disclose Act to shed light on the sums of money in politics and assured any Sanders Administration Supreme Court nominee will go against the Citizens United
