Wow!! Thank you for your passionate compassion for the working class! You see the entire issue so clearly and speak so articulately!! Thank you for your insight and sharing your integrity, a difficult trait to find!!
Bernie is the only genuine person in political office. We need every political seat filled with a Bernie Sanders. Bernie, let us know what we can do to support passage of legislation that will actually improve (even save) our lives. And thank you, thank you for all you do.
Wow! I am not American, but lord, does he speak with integrity. Be it America or Europe, his words are 100% true. This is the truth we should focus on, not putting our focus on mindless political banter. Vote the greedy ones out!
Right on, Bernie! The wealthy pay less taxes than the little guy! We need to teach our children to accumulate as much as they can, saving & being frugal so when they hit 65, they'll not be struggling. Began working at 16 years old at Woolworths and worked til I was 65. Now I'm 79 and broke! My SS is only $16,000 a year. Thank God for SNAP. Currently living sickly in a moldy apt and can't afford to move to a higher priced better place. I sent HUD applications to states surrounding mine. Bernie, even to VT and Maine. There are no apts available. 100 people on wait lists, 2/5 years. I'm stuck! Grateful for Medicare & Medicaid. Grateful for wonderful caring statesmen like Bernie Sanders. Thank you sir. ❤
Actually, the wealthy pay most of the taxes in the US. That's simply a fact. They own more wealth, and they pay more taxes. Social Security retirement payments were never intended to be the sole income of retirees - they have always been intended as a _supplemental_ source of income. Unfortunately, what we see is that 40% of retirees in the US have SS benefits as their only income.
Whose fault is it that poor people have no money left to save for retirement? If you think it's the poor person's fault, I got some lottery tickets and Horatio Alger books for your dumbass to buy.
Is there anybody in the Senate? They all leave when Bernie starts talking. Bernie needs to leave this right-wing Uniparty. They will never do anything for us. They don't care about us. They just care about their wealthy donors. I've been listening to this speech since the late 70s. Things just get worse for working people. This can't go on.
This is effecting the entire Western world, Canada is in similar downward spiral, so is much of Europe. Don't believe what they say about China, they've brought a billion people out of poverty, while we have shrunk our middle class. American corporations/military industrial complex/government always has to meddle and drag us into wars with them. This system is failing.
Americans would benefit so much from a change in the political system away from the electoral college and 2 parties to a broader spectrum of parties with a minimum vote threshold like most European democracies. I for the live of me will never understand how Americans can just accept the deeply flawed democracy like that. Imagine being left with the choice of Hillary Clinton or Trump.
@@hammurabii.3173 Americans would have to stop worshiping the wealthy & pretending they are wealthy. I’ve been saying this since the 70s. So far no one cares.

@amybabbitt4198 Bernie Sanders ran as a Democrat but Hillary got the nomination😢. Many people didn't pay attention until tRump, but hopefully, we keep paying attention from now on and get young people engaged in politics, too.
Listen to real human beings. Bernie is one of us
🎯
Salute, Senator. You are a true American leader.
Thank you Bernie ❤🤍💙
I love Bernie so smart, fair and honest. He’s always been for the people. I wish we had more like him!!!! 🇺🇸❤️💯
Cannot believe this man has worked so hard for so long for so many Americans only to be considered “too extreme” to be President.
We lost on aggressive progress that we direly needed in this country. And we are paying for it. All because of selfishness.
I'll never forgive them for it.
@@KenyanBunnie 100% ....Ding Ding Ding ! BINGO ! Bring back the Eisenhower Corporate Tax Rates
I know! I love this man!
This man has never held a job in his life except public office. He was a bum till he was in his 30s. He is a radical communist
He excluded himself. Did people forget?
The wealthiest country the world has ever seen ignores the well being of its own citizens.
Is that too long to be our national motto?
200 billion that JOEY sent to Ukraine could have helped...
@@JamesSmith-ij8nj hahahaha your blind,,, wat if Putin takes over ukraine?
you think he stops there?
he wil put nukes back in your backyard like Nikita did.
just to make you run for cover again, and start making nuke shelters again.
tax the wealthy , and pay for it that way hurts nobody, cos they have way more cash than they need , if i earn 20,mil a year,, wat wil it hurt me to pay 1 mil more on taxes?
nada i won't even notice it,,, but the rest of the country would,,,,,
heathcare better roads, and enough cash to pay for high speed trains,, and better ifra structure..
so, listen to Berni and start making Amerika Great again,,,, and put the mony were the mouth is... is stead of filling the pockets of the filthy rich..

We give them weapons we are going to decommision soon. We pay Americans to build or develop new weapons and count that as foreign aid. If you aren't being told how that works maybe consider finding sources with better information.
@tarajoyce3598 What sources are you relying on? Those that told us Russis Russia Russia. Or that Joey was cognizant?
Why didn't we sell them? Oh right, Joey wouldn't get enough.
Believe what you want, but cash assets were GIVEN.. Our money... Can we expect repayment?
Then can we talk about the violent innsurection(s) . Twice,through violence, duly elected governments were overturned. TWICE. Zs party was part of it. Zs party, the ones using swastikas...
@@tarajoyce3598 Love deleted comments..

Bernie must live forever and continue to stand up for all of us. Who will assume the mantle once he is gone? : (

Thank you for speaking on the core issues truthfully and standing up for the common man/woman.
Thank you Sanders for speaking on behalf of the people. If only more politicians followed your lead
Bernie is the only genuine person in political office. We need every political seat filled with a Bernie Sanders. Bernie, let us know what we can do to support passage of legislation that will actually improve (even save) our lives. And thank you, thank you for all you do.
Thank you Senator Sanders, we appreciate your dedication to the working class.
I love you Bernie!❤️ Thank you for taking a stand to take care of us!
I love you Bernie ... AOC/Sanders 2024 would have been the dream. Heart and wisdom.

Thank you, Bernie Sanders!!! 👍🏽 You're incredible!!! ❤
As always the true wise man in American politics. Loys of respect Senator Sanders,
Good human.this man needs to live forever.
Thank you Bernie all facts 👍🏽
Wow! I am not American, but lord, does he speak with integrity. Be it America or Europe, his words are 100% true. This is the truth we should focus on, not putting our focus on mindless political banter. Vote the greedy ones out!
Thank you, And your family for all the sacrifices you have made for America. Thank you, sir.
I'm voting for this Man whether he runs for presidency or not.
@@leahjenika2924 Then support Harris, not the best but he supports her.
Vote your heart and listen to nothing else.
Same
Right on, Bernie! The wealthy pay less taxes than the little guy! We need to teach our children to accumulate as much as they can, saving & being frugal so when they hit 65, they'll not be struggling.
Began working at 16 years old at Woolworths and worked til I was 65. Now I'm 79 and broke! My SS is only $16,000 a year. Thank God for SNAP. Currently living sickly in a moldy apt and can't afford to move to a higher priced better place. I sent HUD applications to states surrounding mine. Bernie, even to VT and Maine. There are no apts available. 100 people on wait lists, 2/5 years. I'm stuck! Grateful for Medicare & Medicaid. Grateful for wonderful caring statesmen like Bernie Sanders. Thank you sir. ❤
Actually, the wealthy pay most of the taxes in the US. That's simply a fact. They own more wealth, and they pay more taxes.
Social Security retirement payments were never intended to be the sole income of retirees - they have always been intended as a _supplemental_ source of income. Unfortunately, what we see is that 40% of retirees in the US have SS benefits as their only income.
Whose fault is it that poor people have no money left to save for retirement? If you think it's the poor person's fault, I got some lottery tickets and Horatio Alger books for your dumbass to buy.
Integrity on display every time Sen. Sanders speaks.
Absolutely Bernie!
Thank you Mr. Sanders, you are appreciated.
Is there anybody in the Senate? They all leave when Bernie starts talking. Bernie needs to leave this right-wing Uniparty. They will never do anything for us. They don't care about us. They just care about their wealthy donors. I've been listening to this speech since the late 70s. Things just get worse for working people. This can't go on.
This is effecting the entire Western world, Canada is in similar downward spiral, so is much of Europe. Don't believe what they say about China, they've brought a billion people out of poverty, while we have shrunk our middle class. American corporations/military industrial complex/government always has to meddle and drag us into wars with them. This system is failing.
Americans would benefit so much from a change in the political system away from the electoral college and 2 parties to a broader spectrum of parties with a minimum vote threshold like most European democracies. I for the live of me will never understand how Americans can just accept the deeply flawed democracy like that. Imagine being left with the choice of Hillary Clinton or Trump.
Burny-B is an independent candidate. Even more reason we need Burns
You seperate congress from the wealthy when congress ARE the wealthy. Duh… stop voting 1% in office. You all do this to yourselves.
@@hammurabii.3173 Americans would have to stop worshiping the wealthy & pretending they are wealthy. I’ve been saying this since the 70s. So far no one cares.
