In the episode I chose to watch, Evan Smith did an interview with Bernie Sanders. This episode was originally aired on April 16, 2015, so the topic of discussion was if Bernie Sanders would be running for president and what were the issues he would focus on if so. Sanders made some very good points when he talked about our economy and the top one percent. He stated that the Koch Brothers are the second wealthiest family in America and they spend at least $900 million in campaigns so they basically own the country. I think this is very scary because if they- along with other billionaires- are the ones giving the money to campaigns then they are the only voices that are being heard. The Koch brothers have become too powerful and they are trying to own the political system. Though many people, especially the younger generation, likes Sanders’ views and what he has …show more content…
First off, our top one percent would have to become less important than they are now and the middle and lower class people would have to become the main focus. People would have to get out and vote and considering no one really has time for it other than the top one percent, I do not see Bernie Sanders becoming our next president. I say this not only because people don’t vote, but because as good as his issues sound, EVERYONE in America would have to contribute in order for the changes he want to make actually take action. Sanders also talks about raising the minimum wage prices, which I am aware President Obama has been trying to enforce. Whitehouse.gov states that seventeen states and Washington D.C have passed laws to raise minimum wage, but Sanders want more states to join and go a little bit higher. To me this seems like a problem because, considering how our economy is, more people would be out of jobs even though higher wages would help those with a
Senator Bernie Sanders should be next President of the United States. He boasts a long and successful political track record. He was a Senator from 2007-2018 and a Representative from 1991-2006, making him the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history. He has been involved in Civil Rights issues his entire career. He has fought determinedly for working families, focusing on the disappearing middle class and income inequality. The United States should elect Bernie Sanders as the next President of the United States because he takes action on climate change, he fights for working families, and he wants to restore integrity to the political system by taking “big money” out of politics.
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.
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
The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.
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.
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.
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.
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
Native Americans are often portrayed as possessing deep spiritual insight and wisdom. This stereotype suggests that indigenous peoples have a unique understanding of spiritual matters, including a deep connection to their ancestors, the natural world, and the cosmos. Another stereotype is that they are commonly depicted as having a strong and profound bond with nature. This stereotype highlights the idea that Native Americans maintain a close and harmonious relationship with the natural world, viewing themselves as interconnected with all living beings and the environment. The stereotype of a profound connection to nature reflects an admiration for indigenous cultures' ecological consciousness and stewardship ethic, promoting a deeper appreciation
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
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
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
“(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.
One of my scariest experiences of my life was when I was climbing a side of a mountain. I went to grab a plant to help myself up, but it ripped out. When that happened my brother had caught my arm and helped me up cause if I had fallen, I was most likely going to die. This scenario relates to gothic literature because I was in a bleak setting and it relates to magical realism because for some reason my brother caught me at the perfect time. Those genres are similar because they both use supernatural events to explain them.
As a child, my most desired dream was to be called Dr. Elsayed. I have always wanted to be a healthcare professional to help people live a happier and healthier life. Even though I was unsure of what specific field I wanted to study until I entered high school. All I was thinking about was the white coat that would have my name on it, and people calling me a doctor. The time I was applying for colleges I was interested in becoming a dentist because of the experience I have worked as a dental assistant for approximately a year. However, I chose Biology as my major to complete my prerequisite courses for dental school. Currently, as a college student, I still want to be in the healthcare professional field, but obtain a bachelor degree in Nutrition and Food Science, which I am in the process of changing majors. My desired outcome for this semester is to pass all my courses to have a good high GPA and get involved in a variety of activities as I did throughout high school.
