When Bernie Sanders announced his run for the White House, his stance on the issues facing our country differentiated him from the other candidates. He has garnered support as a more liberal alternative to Hillary Clinton.
According to Bernie Sanders’ homepage:
“The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? Are we prepared to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class, or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy? These are the most important questions of our time, and how we answer them will determine the future of our country.”
