Wait. Bernie Sanders has friends on Wall Street? 🤔 Sanders tells JohnJHarwood the wealthiest Americans should be paying more in taxes. 'You have an insane situation,' he says. 'Let my Wall Street friends tell me why it makes sense.'
On Wall Street reform, you say you want to end "too-big-to-jail." You said the other day that Sherman Act violations by monopolists ought to have the potential for criminal indictments. I wonder if you think that principle also applies to cases like the Boeing CEO. He's been stripped of his position as board chairman, the head of the Max airplane was fired.
We need as a nation to do something we have never done before, and say to these corporate executives who have so much power, we're tired of your greed and we are tired of your corruption. I support and respect business people who produce new products, create jobs. God bless them. I do not respect or support criminals who are killing people, who are harming people, and are lying about what they're doing.Let me ask a question about real-world governance rather than campaign rhetoric.
You know what? The 1 percent is very powerful — no denying that. The 99%, when they're organized and prepared to stand up and fight, they are far more powerful.You've been running for president for five years. If there were a latent political revolution waiting to happen, wouldn't we see more of it by now?Let's talk about that. Think about the ideas that I introduced four years ago. Four years ago, $15 an hour minimum wage — "radical and crazy.
But you know, please, defend for me Amazon, owned by the wealthiest guy in the country, making $11 billion in profits last year and not paying a nickel in federal income taxes. I want to hear the defense. John, I don't hear it. There is no defense. And it's not just Amazon, it's dozens of these corporations.Bernie Sanders:
These ideas — "Oh my God, it can't be done." Imagine everybody in America having health care. Duh — that's what exists in every other country on Earth. Why is that so impossible?

Bernie Sanders Holds Secret Campaign Meeting With 15,000 Working-Class Democratic DonorsDETROIT—Releasing bombshell evidence in the form of hundreds of cell phone videos taken during the gathering, numerous anonymous tipsters confirmed this week that Bernie Sanders recently attended a secret campaign meeting with 15,000 working-class donors from the Democratic Party. “This damning footage shows Sen. Sanders clandestinely mingling with thousands of representatives from the nursing, food service, and public education sectors, many of whom were apparently chauffeured to the event aboard city buses and enjoyed fountain drinks upon arriving,” said political strategist August Buckminster, adding that the event, which reportedly took place at a local vocational school, could prove problematic for the presidential candidate in his bid for the Democratic nomination. “Sanders can be heard promising a highly underprivileged audience everything from a minimum-wage increase to healthcare access to educational opportunities—whatever it takes to get them on his side. In one video, he explicitly offers a group of steel workers a quid pro quo of affordable housing in exchange for their votes. If the senator wants to win the backing of the national party, he will certainly have to answer for hobnobbing with this room full of people at the absolute lowest levels of power.” At press time, Sanders had received further criticism after documents were uncovered showing he has acted on behalf of a contingent of approximately 625,000 Vermont residents over a period of nearly 30 years.
