Bernie Sanders: The Man for You!
Are you feeling the Bern after this article?
Income and Wealth Inequality
During his presidency Sanders plans to create a estate tax on the top 0.3 percent of Americans who inherit more than $3.5 million. He will also enact a tax on Wall Street speculators who caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, homes, and life savings. He also plans to raise the pay of minimum wage to $15.00 an hour because he believes that no one who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty. And these are only a few of his ideas to progress the American Dream.
A Fair and Humane Immigration Policy
Sanders plans to allow immigrants to purchase health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, employ humanitarian parole to ensure the return of unjustly deported immigrants and unify broken families, all while making sure our border remains secure and protects local communities.
War Should be the Last Option
Sanders plans for an agreement that calls for cutting off Iran's pathways to the fissile materials needed for a nuclear weapon by condensing its stockpile of uranium by 98%, and diminishing the level of enrichment or uranium to below the level required for weaponized uranium. Not only this but the agreement also demands Iran to limit the number of installed centrifuges by 2/3, disassemble the country's heavy-water nuclear reactor so that it's inhibited from producing any weapons-grade plutonium, and execute monitoring, inspection, and verification by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
And these are only a few of his policies.
