It's sad this only has 60k views. If you are on a Bernie video marathon please like the videos and share if you can. This stuff needs to be seen and heard.
We can change that by helping each other! We cant help everyone but as long as everyone can help someone then its gonna make the world a better place. That's why i Believe in a company that was based on helping others. To teach them how to Earn,Save, and Manage their Money! I am talking about #WakeUpNow !! People can finally start building their future.
I think it has alot to do with American's being told since childhood that "America is the greatest country ever!" And also I think it was 80% of American's have never been outside of their own country so they have never seen how other countries work. I believe many American's think that every other country looks like the poorest places in Africa, which is sad since even the poorest places in Africa look alot better than the best places in Detroit.
Tiger Mom I'm with you on most of it, but I have to imagine the Mayor's office is nicer than the worst regions of Africa. But I do agree that Detroit should be taken as a grim reminder that we can't just hope for the best. We have to make things happen.
He was the People’s CLEAR choice in both 2016 and 2020, it was so sad that the corporate democrats cheated to eliminate him. It was a coordinated effort with Obama, Clyburn, the corrupt media, and Booty-Judge’s “shadow app”. They’d far rather lose to GOP than allow Bernie to get elected, and they do nothing but wring their hands and pout while capitulating to the idiots in the GOP every time.

***** Corporate Socialism I agree, if Capitalism works the central government shouldn't have to intervene on behalf of corporations that are deemed "too big to fail". The welfare that corporations get in the US is astonishingly enormous compared to social welfare.
True, the main reason being that multinational corporations can avoid taxes by going overseas. The TPP is one of those agreements that hurts American jobs, the US entered into this agreement and Obama was all for it because it would impose labor laws on many companies with factories in the asian pacific. Bernie has spoken on the trend he's observed that when taxes were higher for the rich there was greater growth in the US. The idea would be that through an increase in tax revenue for the country that resource can be put to creating jobs for Americans. His biggest push and the central statement for his campaign is that Americans have had enough of Corporations controlling government. It is not a mystery that Campaign budgets in this country are the elephant in the room, and whoever pays for those campaigns just like Mr. Trump said has to answer to those donors. Bernie has spoke out against such practice and donors such as the Koch brothers. Even overall Americans pay among the lowest income tax rates, other countries such scandinavian countries (Bernie uses these as an example often) have close to 50% income tax if not higher. The trade off is that education, health, and other widely needed services are paid by taxes. In the US there are far too many instances where government funded programs are run through private corporations that end up soaking up Tax-payer's money and abuse the contracts they get from the government look up Halliburton. I really stand with Bernie and his movement to rid the US of a corporation run government.
Baby Bop I think this nation is in need of a leader more than a lawmaker. I agree with you that he has more direct effect in what he does now, but we need a new US hero like a Washington, Lincoln, or Kennedy. Maybe he can unite the nation and turn it back into the nation that is not only for the people but it also *by* the people.
Mitchell Arthur Keep dreaming man. This congress is the least productive in history. They can't even pass a law. We don't need more demagogues in the WH.
Baby Bop But that's what I'm saying. We don't need the typical R or D to get elected. We need someone that is able to rally the nation to put enough pressure on congress to give the people what they want.
It is Sad When The elderly Has Worked Their Entire Life. Most of the Elderly only bring home 1300 dollars a Month. They can't Pay For food Because of the Cost Taxes on Their homes cost for Food is Ridiculous. Help the elderly and the Children in our USA. Charity Starts at Home. Our Government Can Stop A Lot Of The Prices of Today. May God Bless Our USA. Greed is a Majority of Our USA. Thank You Bernie For Caring for We The People We Need. Help The Elderly and Children.
TRUTH from Senator Sanders about the shameful income inequality in the USA! But will the American people listen? Will the Big Interests get out there and try to silence him? Will the organization that runs the Democrat party refuse to support him because he can't raise enough money from the Big Interests that he opposes to fight the "public relations" battles fought in the media. Is there any BIG MONEY out there who will support Senator Sanders because they believe he tells hard truths that The American People need to hear? Will they step up? .
Medovukha You're an idiot. When given only two options, choosing the "lesser of two evils" is the smarter choice. You're one of the lazy dumbfucks who wants an excuse for your problems so you just sit back and bitch rather than participate. No single candidate will ever serve the entire needs of one individual.
Medovukha so your biggest issue is keeping the murder rate up. guns do not fight crime. what will help the crime rate is getting the poor and middle class more opportunity to take care of themselves and their families. Guns shouldn't even be a priority in a country with the highest murder rate per capita of any advanced democratic nation.
Medovukha We don't fight the mass murder rate in this country by advocating for more guns and being a talking head of the NRA. There are bigger problems we must face in this country than arming the populace to the teeth. We attack the real ills that face this nation ( and no losing second amendment rights is not among them) then we strike down most of the causes of crime in this county. Why don't you focus on real issues instead of your backwards inbred mentality? You people are morons.
When some conservatives and libertarian hear socialist, they go like crazy, but forget that America already has socialist programs in place: Food stamps, public schools, fire & police department, the roads and heck, even the military!
So it would be better is we just let people die of starvation, keep education only to those who can pay for it, protection for only those who can pay for it, if your house is on fire you better be able to pay $70+ first to privatized fire-fighters or just let it burn if you can't pay upfront. Do I need to keep going or do you just not understand how civilization works?
Medieval Blast Yeah. I can only imagine the stupidity if Sanders runs. "HE'S A SOCIALIST JEW!" They would shit their fucking pants. He may be too far ahead of his time in politics.
People have poor understanding of how economics work in the long term. Long term increasing Income inequality is not something based on people being 'lazy' it's not something based on 'luck' or 'hard work'. It's a monopoly, it's the final consequence of complete unregulated and corrupt capitalism. Rather we like it or not, we do live in a shared economy, everyone who works produces something, and when production rates are high, the country gets rich. Now US is a rich nation, yet has a massive amount of people living in poverty, working many jobs, getting educated but finding themselves unable to advance up. Where is all this money? That's when the monopoly comes in, take a look at all the companies you see around in every town, in every state, and track them back to their original owner. You'll come to find that almost all major businesses are owned by the same few people and corporations. They are taking ALL the wealth of the nation to themselves, just a few people, and due to their enormous wealth, they can make it impossible for other smaller businesses to compete with them. Whenever competition arises, they buy them out or crush them, and then continue to profit. They are now the choosers of who gets to advance up and who doesn't, they choose what wages they pay you, and they have decided to keep paying less and less, so that they can earn more and more. The truth is, without any regulation, the numbers will keep tilting to their side, until the day comes that they have 90% of all wealth, and they are paying your kids and the former 'middle class' whatever slave wages they choose to. Simply because they know that no one has a choice or a say. They, are the new Royal family, they are the new system of hierarchy. A monopoly on wealth and control are the reason people fled the UK and founded America, a land that promised freedom for everyone to make it out of poverty and enjoy the security of a Middle Class life, and now America is becoming just as bad and in many ways worse, because the public refuses to acknowledge this consequence. Being deluded to thinking, that if they keep supporting this system, somehow they'll end up in the higher percentage, well the odds are slim to none and you are sacrificing the opportunity of your children to ever be able to enjoy middle class life. You are selling the future generation to poverty, under the illusion that someone on the top, will maybe someday throw you a good bone if you just 'work hard' enough.
Having been born and raised as a privilege White male in the US, all I can say is that I can care less if the "common" US citizen - especially the common White citizen - gets fucked by the US government or big business corporations.
DeadButBreathing Great points to consider in your comment. I especially like "because the public refuses to acknowledge this consequence." Listening to Bernie Sanders brought a feeling that I can only describe by recalling the American Indian with tears running down his face. I sent an e-mail with the link to this video to people who I think would watch it.
DeadButBreathing You pretty much nailed it. And It has always been a plutocracy. Since day one. We must vote Bernie in if we want to break the Samsara of self inflicted slavery and poverty.
What it is the American Dream? The house we take 30-40 years to pay off, the car payments that weigh us down, our kids having to pay loans to go to college?? Yet most of those from other countries can get a free college education. When my husband and I are old and crippled and have finally paid off the mortgage will we truly get to rest??? We both work out of state and have to pay all of those taxes. Our state needs to provide us new jobs or decrease the taxes. We have to pay extra taxes, gas, and a long time from home because we cant find a job in our own state. What truly happened to the American dream??
Honestly i'm a wildland firefighter and 10 grand to me is an insane amount of money. and after watching this video i have lost all hope in life. seriously.. I looked and it seems 1 super rich person disliked this video. Thanks to Sanders for this presentation.
This man understands what we're up against. Andy Warhol said, "they say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." There's nothing the oligarchs fear more than that we should discover our power.
I'll tell you what happened. It's called "Housing Discrimination." Not to mention the" economic wealth gap" Also, "Property Tax" that goes up every year because people are too greedy. Unfortunately, most Americans 🇺🇸 waste too much time on "Racism" to focus on things that's really important in this country. So forget the "American Dream". It's nothing but a nightmare anyways.
Vermont is so lucky to have this guy. Im going to move from South Carolina, a state controlled by corporate sellout conservatives (only at the state level though, and there isnt too much at the local level), and I am moving to Vermont.Heck they were one of the first states to pass bills regulating money in politics.
longer hours and their wages are going down and today we have 46 million people living in poverty. half of americans have less than $10,000 in their savings. how can someone retire happy with this ? middle class is shrinking. people on top are phenomenally well. -(bernie)
Americans need to wake up to this guy, Hillery shouldn't even have a chance against this guy. This country needs this man, if not our country is doomed.
Because of shareholder value. They make money on the shares of the company they own, it's all based on investor capital, not actual sale revenue. (In a very basic sense)
Scott Haskin I don't know what "the democrats" tell you, but just the way you phrased that question tells me you've been watching too many US news stations. It's easy for the people in power to stay in power, because the American citizens are too busy suing and arguing with each other. It seems like your political parties spend more effort trying to prevent the other party being able to do anything, than they do actually working to make things better. The media has twisted American's view of politics so much that you guys actually hate each other for having different political views. Republicans talk about liberals like they are the scum of the earth, and vice versa It's no wonder America is going to shit, you guys seem to be incapable of working together.
Paul Hhong Bernie doesn't talk or act anything like the Jews of Hollywood and Wall street. Bernie is a noble Jew. He has worked hard over his 40 years in politics to improve the lives of the working and middle class. he has been speaking out against the corrupt media and corporate government for decades, not just before running for President, like Hillary trying to appear more progressive. Obama and Hillary are corporate bought, like George Bush was.
Hyperionsf You do understand that the Wall Street Journal's piece on Sander's legislation was disingenuous at best. www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/09/15/no-bernie-sanders-is-not-going-to-bankrupt-america-to-the-tune-of-18-trillion/ usuncut.com/politics/top-economist-says-bernies-plan-will-actually-save-the-us-5-trillion/ www.thenation.com/article/what-the-wall-street-journal-gets-totally-wrong-about-bernie-sanders-agenda/ You see, what you failed to recognize from the WSJ is three things. 1. The cost bore by taxpayers in Mr. Sander's programs will actually shift from private industry to public works. Instead of paying 1000 dollars a year for health insurance, the 1000 dollars will go to tax payer money, which then you will not be forced to pay deductibles or costs for hospitals, EMTs, or so-called "experimental treatments". 2. The 1000 dollars mentioned above will not be increased in the middle class or working class. Instead there will be a small cost analysis on taxing Wall Street computerized trading, which could potential provide trillions in funding. And mind you this is just from a "small" tax, something in the range of 10% or 15%. 3. This is the most important. The WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the very same Murdoch that owns Fox News Channel and several Tory tabloids in Britain. The click-bait title is extremely tempting and very little thought was put into fact finding the exact numbers and the ways Mr. Sanders plans to pay for these programs. Furthermore the cost initiative proposed by Mr. Sanders is expected to save the US 5 trillion over ten years, something which the WSJ fails to account for. In the future I would recommend you actually research the debate at hand, instead of relying on a click-bait title with very vague information on how it got to those numbers.
Hyperionsf If you would have read my post above, I linked my claim to three separate sites. I'm a little confused on why you are asking for proof, when I linked it. Now if you will, could you please link your claims?
I have such respect for this man. He is truly working for the American people. I am honored that he is serving our country and hope that more people will listen to him, and help him to drive positive change.
Bernie I am just a 17 year old kid who is scared of losing hope in the future. Please make this country a future I can prosper in and not struggle in. I'm counting on you to save my generation from certain doom.
Big businesses purposely snuck people into the major unions to cause corruption make money while breaking them up. Strong unions are why some countries don't need minimum wage.
@@jfrank7535 I mean he lose all gubernatorial election that he try to attempt, but also he wins mayoral elections in the 80s to the house of reps in the 90s and the senate in 2007
this is why we need to be a part of what Bernie Sanders is preaching. He cannot do it alone we need to talk about the issue with everyone wiling to listen as you go about your day. these are crucial times.
maybe if you didn't live beyond your means young , not bought flash new cars on finance you would have 100k in the bank now . But remember you fuck your job prospects the unions . How many jobs have gone off shore
only speaking for myself and people I know that are my age, we do live when in out means. Our generation are wiser about credit and debt then our parents were. of course, we do still have student loans to get our education, which is the biggest reason why we may not have 10,000 or more in savings after 3-4 years.
Wow, I put $10/wk out of check into savings and by the end of each month it goes towards my rent. And I live on bare necessities on full time work above min wage.
Cara Crabtree I put $25 a week from my check each week into my savings account and it's already been used to: 1. Make several payments on my major credit card so that I make a tiny dent in the balance (I use my credit card to pay for things like groceries to get the rewards and also because usually by the time my paycheck is deposited every week and clears my account, it's already used to pay bills) and reduce the interest that's killing me. 2. Cover an overdraft that happened because my payment for the electric bill and 2 credit card bills all happened to hit my account the day before my paycheck did (granted, that was my fault because I should've kept better track of that stuff). 3. It will be used to settle my $346 tax bill this year (I owed money when I filed my taxes because my income was higher than I planned on when I got my health insurance on the exchange) - actually, that's the reason I started saving money in that account anyways; so I'd have enough to cover my tax bill without putting it on my credit card.
No one else in Congress is asking this question or these questions. Further, no one else running for the presidency in this 2016 political race is asking this question or these questions. Bernie Sanders for President. Unequivocally.
Help us!! Thanks Bernie. 10 yrs of school and will not be able to buy a house or pay these student loans coupled with nerve seeing a raise in health care and work for a 1.25 billion dollar co, I have no dignity and these under educated and over paid corporate asshole make bonuses off my productivity
Bernie is the only Presidential Candidate who is talking about real problems and proposing practical solutions. He's also the only presidential candidate who isn't taking money from the billionaire class. Bernie 2016!!! Feel the Bern!!!
Truth. Thank you sir Bernie Sanders. ❤️ After 7 years, he still speaks the truth. Corporations greed are real. Corporations got huge chunk of Cake, the people only eat the leftovers.
If the companies had all been employee-owned over the past 30-40 years, then all workers would have gained tremendously from the robots and productivity growth; their paychecks would be supplemented with big dividends.
The American dream went to hell along with "Prayer in the Public Schools", the biblical definition of marriage, American Work Ethic, and increase in the number of Americans on 'THE DOLE"
Your speech is so inspiring that I would like to act on the issue. Please could you give some direction on what needs to be done so the americans and even other countries can try rectify this very important matter? What is the first step of action?
He's what we need but he won't be our next President but at least he exists and keeps people on their toes. Maybe just maybe his heart and soul will help America by keeping us honestly informed and keeping things in check. I will be voting for him and I would love to be able say President Bernie Sanders :)
Again the problem is yes the billionaires but that is part of the problem. The problem is the entity behind the parties. Even if the people voted, that would still exist. This is part of the problem. The money system needs to be removed from private interest or completely wiped out.
The American dream is not gone... it's just that it narrowed tremendously to a few people. The top 1% is "living the dream," and the rest of us are "living the pain." This is the inherent destiny of a capitalist system that remains largely UNREGULATED. Yes, we want a system that rewards people for working hard and making smart decisions. But, if you are handicapped from upward mobility due to a broken educational system (far too expensive), corporations that seek to employ workers overseas, and an unbalanced tax system that can't get sufficient funds for a proper infrastructure, the dream will remain with the top 1%.
socialism happen to you as an easterner i can assure you there is no bigger retrograde force more powerfull than socialism it degrades all the exceptionalism the culture the wealth everything
@@mrs.lilianfetters1432 What kind of job are we talking about. If your talking about any job ... well it has been shown that 7.25 an hour is not enough to stay afloat so your forced to work endless hours or get 2 jobs and sometimes even 3 just to say ontop of your bills. Just get a job isn't gonna cut it. Also if your homeless your much less likely to be hired as someone with an address. And much more likely to be exploited when you do find someone willing to hire you.
Can you explain to me another way to be successful in a business based world? You could be more muscle toned, you could be "healthier", and you could be smarter. But what does any of that mean if you can't buy food for the day, pay for a roof over your head, pay for the land you call home? Money is the system we created to replace trade, so we could have peaceful trading, without threatening because someone doesn't want your lemons for rocks.
“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” thats what we believe in! #WakeUpNow is a company that provides amazing savings on the things we buy most. So if everyone can save then they'd be earning money!

The sad part is most Americans still dont believe that the problem is BOTH parties. Doesnt matter who is in charge, the story stays the same.
Wow I had no idea that America had SO many poor people... 46.5 MILLION Americans under the poverty line.

The truth is, without any regulation, the numbers will keep tilting to their side, until the day comes that they have 90% of all wealth, and they are paying your kids and the former 'middle class' whatever slave wages they choose to. Simply because they know that no one has a choice or a say. They, are the new Royal family, they are the new system of hierarchy. A monopoly on wealth and control are the reason people fled the UK and founded America, a land that promised freedom for everyone to make it out of poverty and enjoy the security of a Middle Class life, and now America is becoming just as bad and in many ways worse, because the public refuses to acknowledge this consequence. Being deluded to thinking, that if they keep supporting this system, somehow they'll end up in the higher percentage, well the odds are slim to none and you are sacrificing the opportunity of your children to ever be able to enjoy middle class life. You are selling the future generation to poverty, under the illusion that someone on the top, will maybe someday throw you a good bone if you just 'work hard' enough.
Having been born and raised as a privilege White male in the US, all I can say is that I can care less if the "common" US citizen - especially the common White citizen - gets fucked by the US government or big business corporations.
DeadButBreathing I call it organized crime or predatory capitalism.
DeadButBreathing Great points to consider in your comment. I especially like "because the public refuses to acknowledge this consequence." Listening to Bernie Sanders brought a feeling that I can only describe by recalling the American Indian with tears running down his face. I sent an e-mail with the link to this video to people who I think would watch it.
DeadButBreathing You pretty much nailed it. And It has always been a plutocracy. Since day one. We must vote Bernie in if we want to break the Samsara of self inflicted slavery and poverty.

What it is the American Dream? The house we take 30-40 years to pay off, the car payments that weigh us down, our kids having to pay loans to go to college?? Yet most of those from other countries can get a free college education. When my husband and I are old and crippled and have finally paid off the mortgage will we truly get to rest??? We both work out of state and have to pay all of those taxes. Our state needs to provide us new jobs or decrease the taxes. We have to pay extra taxes, gas, and a long time from home because we cant find a job in our own state. What truly happened to the American dream??
Bernie Sanders for President
Absolutely 100% RIGHT ON! This is our next President.
Thank you
Bernie's SO RIGHT"
I love you , Bernie! Truth teller extraordinaire!
Please become an Australian Citizen and be our Prime Minister
No! Way we will all be poor that's shortens plain
"It's called The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
Honestly i'm a wildland firefighter and 10 grand to me is an insane amount of money.
and after watching this video i have lost all hope in life. seriously..
I looked and it seems 1 super rich person disliked this video.
Thanks to Sanders for this presentation.
i like that he breaks it down with facts
This man understands what we're up against.
Andy Warhol said, "they say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
There's nothing the oligarchs fear more than that we should discover our power.
💙 Senator Bernie Sanders!!! 🌟 🇺🇸
I'll tell you what happened. It's called "Housing Discrimination." Not to mention the" economic wealth gap" Also, "Property Tax" that goes up every year because people are too greedy. Unfortunately, most Americans 🇺🇸 waste too much time on "Racism" to focus on things that's really important in this country. So forget the "American Dream". It's nothing but a nightmare anyways.
“It came true, you are looking at it.”
What a comedian you are... :)
You're the man, Bernie.
Senator Bernie Sanders 🌟 would Make a Great President!!! 🇺🇸 💙
Vermont is so lucky to have this guy. Im going to move from South Carolina, a state controlled by corporate sellout conservatives (only at the state level though, and there isnt too much at the local level), and I am moving to Vermont.Heck they were one of the first states to pass bills regulating money in politics.
longer hours and their wages are going down and today we have 46 million people living in poverty. half of americans have less than $10,000 in their savings. how can someone retire happy with this ? middle class is shrinking. people on top are phenomenally well. -(bernie)
small business owners aren't
Americans need to wake up to this guy, Hillery shouldn't even have a chance against this guy. This country needs this man, if not our country is doomed.
The president we need and deserve. I will never again overestimate the judgment of the American voter.
Can someone please explain to me why a CEO has a multi million dollar salary?
Because cocaine isn't cheap.
Noel Espinoza I can think of a better "reward" for these people.
Because of shareholder value.
They make money on the shares of the company they own, it's all based on investor capital, not actual sale revenue. (In a very basic sense)
So what the Democrats tell us isn't the whole truth behind CEO salary?
Scott Haskin I don't know what "the democrats" tell you, but just the way you phrased that question tells me you've been watching too many US news stations. It's easy for the people in power to stay in power, because the American citizens are too busy suing and arguing with each other.
It seems like your political parties spend more effort trying to prevent the other party being able to do anything, than they do actually working to make things better. The media has twisted American's view of politics so much that you guys actually hate each other for having different political views. Republicans talk about liberals like they are the scum of the earth, and vice versa
It's no wonder America is going to shit, you guys seem to be incapable of working together.
The American Dream! "You got to be asleep to believe it."
Bless Bernie Sanders ❤❤❤
Come on Bernie lets win this! i believe in you!
Speaking the truth, no more, no less.
Bernie will make the American Dream come true for us Americans!
Jewishness and Brooklyn accent aside, Bernie could make a good President, certainly better than Hilary.
Paul Hhong Bernie doesn't talk or act anything like the Jews of Hollywood and Wall street. Bernie is a noble Jew. He has worked hard over his 40 years in politics to improve the lives of the working and middle class. he has been speaking out against the corrupt media and corporate government for decades, not just before running for President, like Hillary trying to appear more progressive. Obama and Hillary are corporate bought, like George Bush was.
+Hyperionsf He has put out an economic policy in the Senate reports. I suggest that you give it a gander.
Hyperionsf You do understand that the Wall Street Journal's piece on Sander's legislation was disingenuous at best.
www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/09/15/no-bernie-sanders-is-not-going-to-bankrupt-america-to-the-tune-of-18-trillion/
usuncut.com/politics/top-economist-says-bernies-plan-will-actually-save-the-us-5-trillion/
www.thenation.com/article/what-the-wall-street-journal-gets-totally-wrong-about-bernie-sanders-agenda/
You see, what you failed to recognize from the WSJ is three things.
1. The cost bore by taxpayers in Mr. Sander's programs will actually shift from private industry to public works. Instead of paying 1000 dollars a year for health insurance, the 1000 dollars will go to tax payer money, which then you will not be forced to pay deductibles or costs for hospitals, EMTs, or so-called "experimental treatments".
2. The 1000 dollars mentioned above will not be increased in the middle class or working class. Instead there will be a small cost analysis on taxing Wall Street computerized trading, which could potential provide trillions in funding. And mind you this is just from a "small" tax, something in the range of 10% or 15%.
3. This is the most important. The WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the very same Murdoch that owns Fox News Channel and several Tory tabloids in Britain. The click-bait title is extremely tempting and very little thought was put into fact finding the exact numbers and the ways Mr. Sanders plans to pay for these programs. Furthermore the cost initiative proposed by Mr. Sanders is expected to save the US 5 trillion over ten years, something which the WSJ fails to account for.
In the future I would recommend you actually research the debate at hand, instead of relying on a click-bait title with very vague information on how it got to those numbers.
Hyperionsf What is your source for every claim?
I could and will argue each point, but I need to see proof of your assertions.
Hyperionsf If you would have read my post above, I linked my claim to three separate sites. I'm a little confused on why you are asking for proof, when I linked it.
Now if you will, could you please link your claims?
Thanks Bernie Sanders, you're really helping me write my essay.
Lets get it Done!! Sanders 2016!!!!
I have such respect for this man. He is truly working for the American people. I am honored that he is serving our country and hope that more people will listen to him, and help him to drive positive change.
Bernie you're my hero
We Want Bernie!
Bernie I am just a 17 year old kid who is scared of losing hope in the future. Please make this country a future I can prosper in and not struggle in. I'm counting on you to save my generation from certain doom.
Blame the unions why your country is f , Bernie supports the currupt unions
Big businesses purposely snuck people into the major unions to cause corruption make money while breaking them up. Strong unions are why some countries don't need minimum wage.
Feel the Bern!!! 💙🌟🇺🇸

It came true! You are looking at it.
Good joke, everybody laugh... : )
the only problem this genius will encounter is from The 1% they won't allow such a person
this is why we need to be a part of what Bernie Sanders is preaching. He cannot do it alone we need to talk about the issue with everyone wiling to listen as you go about your day. these are crucial times.
*Bernie Sanders 2016!*
half of americans have less than $10,000 in savings........
ha i got less than 1000 id be lucky to hit that if i did overtime on a holiday
maybe if you didn't live beyond your means young , not bought flash new cars on finance you would have 100k in the bank now . But remember you fuck your job prospects the unions . How many jobs have gone off shore
only speaking for myself and people I know that are my age, we do live when in out means. Our generation are wiser about credit and debt then our parents were. of course, we do still have student loans to get our education, which is the biggest reason why we may not have 10,000 or more in savings after 3-4 years.
Wow, I put $10/wk out of check into savings and by the end of each month it goes towards my rent. And I live on bare necessities on full time work above min wage.
Cara Crabtree I put $25 a week from my check each week into my savings account and it's already been used to:
1. Make several payments on my major credit card so that I make a tiny dent in the balance (I use my credit card to pay for things like groceries to get the rewards and also because usually by the time my paycheck is deposited every week and clears my account, it's already used to pay bills) and reduce the interest that's killing me.
2. Cover an overdraft that happened because my payment for the electric bill and 2 credit card bills all happened to hit my account the day before my paycheck did (granted, that was my fault because I should've kept better track of that stuff).
3. It will be used to settle my $346 tax bill this year (I owed money when I filed my taxes because my income was higher than I planned on when I got my health insurance on the exchange) - actually, that's the reason I started saving money in that account anyways; so I'd have enough to cover my tax bill without putting it on my credit card.
The answer is simple.. we sold it to china.. Or more accurately a few rich corporations sold it to china for short term profit
No one else in Congress is asking this question or these questions.
Further, no one else running for the presidency in this 2016 political race is asking this question or these questions.
Bernie Sanders for President.
Unequivocally.
Bernie Sanders is the single most intelligent and capable politician this country has ever seen.
unequal distribution of wealth ;(
Help us!! Thanks Bernie. 10 yrs of school and will not be able to buy a house or pay these student loans coupled with nerve seeing a raise in health care and work for a 1.25 billion dollar co, I have no dignity and these under educated and over paid corporate asshole make bonuses off my productivity
I hope you win Bernie, you are who we need.
Liberal piece of shit
Lol, you're angry for me having different views then you.
+Majistr Gaming so you hate a politician that represents Martin Luther King Jr. and Teddy Roosevelt,that is so anti-American
Keep faith, hope, believe ,stay positive, love your neighbour, one day at a time, read write sing, God Bless Abundantly from Scotland

We need Bernie, but more importantly Bernie needs us.
You had me at "Pizza". All joking aside, I applaud him.
Bernie is the only Presidential Candidate who is talking about real problems and proposing practical solutions. He's also the only presidential candidate who isn't taking money from the billionaire class. Bernie 2016!!! Feel the Bern!!!
The american dream is DEAD
Truth. Thank you sir Bernie Sanders. ❤️ After 7 years, he still speaks the truth. Corporations greed are real. Corporations got huge chunk of Cake, the people only eat the leftovers.
God Bless you uncle Bernie
No dollars = no vote.
Forty-four years is just about the span of my working life. Savings? What's that?

Bernie always speaking the truth.
The American government and the Rich class is about the get Berned
Bernie for president, 2016!
If the companies had all been employee-owned over the past 30-40 years, then all workers would have gained tremendously from the robots and productivity growth; their paychecks would be supplemented with big dividends.
keep dreaming lefty
The American dream went to hell along with "Prayer in the Public Schools", the biblical definition of marriage, American Work Ethic, and increase in the number of Americans on 'THE DOLE"
no matter what you do if you're the head of a large financial institution you will get hugely rewarded
With Elizabeth Warren not running this is the only Politician I'd vote for.
Your speech is so inspiring that I would like to act on the issue. Please could you give some direction on what needs to be done so the americans and even other countries can try rectify this very important matter? What is the first step of action?

This is exactly why the United States have had and should continue to have a Senate in addition to the House of Representatives.
He's what we need but he won't be our next President but at least he exists and keeps people on their toes. Maybe just maybe his heart and soul will help America by keeping us honestly informed and keeping things in check. I will be voting for him and I would love to be able say President Bernie Sanders :)
Nothing fulfilling to the American Dream, except that one has to be asleep to enjoy it.
Again the problem is yes the billionaires but that is part of the problem. The problem is the entity behind the parties. Even if the people voted, that would still exist. This is part of the problem. The money system needs to be removed from private interest or completely wiped out.
The American dream is not gone... it's just that it narrowed tremendously to a few people. The top 1% is "living the dream," and the rest of us are "living the pain."
This is the inherent destiny of a capitalist system that remains largely UNREGULATED. Yes, we want a system that rewards people for working hard and making smart decisions. But, if you are handicapped from upward mobility due to a broken educational system (far too expensive), corporations that seek to employ workers overseas, and an unbalanced tax system that can't get sufficient funds for a proper infrastructure, the dream will remain with the top 1%.
socialism happen to you as an easterner i can assure you there is no bigger retrograde force more powerfull than socialism it degrades all the exceptionalism the culture the wealth everything
low wage new normal
I work in health care and United Healthcare is just notorious for how scummy they are as a company. I hate dealing with them.
The American dream has died a long time ago
PREACH, BERNIE! GO GET 'EM!
What happened to the American Dream? It came true! You’re looking at it!
🙋please Senator Sanders... I AM LIVING IN LOW INCOME POVERTY! There is no digging out!
get a job
@@mrs.lilianfetters1432 What kind of job are we talking about. If your talking about any job ... well it has been shown that 7.25 an hour is not enough to stay afloat so your forced to work endless hours or get 2 jobs and sometimes even 3 just to say ontop of your bills. Just get a job isn't gonna cut it. Also if your homeless your much less likely to be hired as someone with an address. And much more likely to be exploited when you do find someone willing to hire you.
Mr.Sanders is a good man,great politician
The American Dream was lost when they killed off all those people that made dream catchers...... who were those guys anyways?
Can someone please explain to me why we measure success by making large amounts of money?
Genetics and millions of years of evolution. It's not some social construct, it's how we evolved.
Can you explain to me another way to be successful in a business based world?
You could be more muscle toned, you could be "healthier", and you could be smarter.
But what does any of that mean if you can't buy food for the day, pay for a roof over your head, pay for the land you call home? Money is the system we created to replace trade, so we could have peaceful trading, without threatening because someone doesn't want your lemons for rocks.
“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” thats what we believe in! #WakeUpNow is a company that provides amazing savings on the things we buy most. So if everyone can save then they'd be earning money!
I want to move to USA 🇺🇲
