Bernie SandersWe need real tax reform which makes the rich and profitable corporations begin to pay their fair share of taxes. We need a tax system which is fair and progressive.

Bernie SandersThe CEO of large multi-nationals like Hillary [Clinton]. They won't going to like me and Wall Street is going to like me even less.

Bernie SandersI think that the needs of the VA and the needs of the veteran community are very, very significant. ะฆe're talking about a VA system in which, in the last years a million-and-a-half more people have come into the system. You're dealing with 500,000 people have come home from Iraq an Afghanistan with PTSD and TBI. You're dealing with an older veterans population from World War II and Korea who need some difficult medical help. We want to see it be more efficient. We want to see doctors go to where they're needed.

Not Barack Obama, not Bernie Sanders, no one person has the influence by himself or herself to take on this enormous array of power unless millions of people begin to work together to demand changes.
