Bernie Sanders: End Economic Status Quo, Ensure Decent Living Standard for All

Call to Action: Rejecting the Economic Status Quo

• 🎯 Stop defending the status quo economically; an economy where the rich get richer and working people struggle should not be defended.
• 💡 It is not radical or utopian to assert that every person should have a decent standard of living.

Reforming the Economy

• 💰 To address massive income and wealth inequality, the rich and their corporations must pay their fair share of taxes, rather than receiving tax breaks.
• ⚖️ The corrupt campaign finance system, where billionaires control politics and the economy, must end, upholding the principle of one person, one vote.

Strengthening Workers and Education

• 🛠️ The PRO Act must be passed to protect workers' rights to unionize, combating illegal corporate behavior that prevents union formation.
• 📈 The minimum wage must be raised to a living wage, ensuring no one working 40 hours a week lives in poverty.
• 🎓 To compete globally, the U.S. needs the best educated workforce, which requires tuition-free public colleges and universities and better pay for teachers.
• 👶 A world-class child care system is also essential.
