Bernie Sanders: Unsere Revolution. Rezension von Dr. Sabine Kebir

…Er kann nicht nur in aller Kürze Wesentliches verkünden. Als Senator hat er 2010 einmal achteinhalb Stunden geredet. Grund war seine „Empörung über den Vorschlag, die während der Präsidentschaft von George W. Bush beschlossenen Steuersenkungen für die oberen zwei Prozent um zwei Jahre zu verlängern.“ (198) Sanders beharrt darauf, dass nicht die Sozialleistungen das Staatsdefizit verursachen – wie es auch hiesige Medien behaupten – sondern sinnlose Kriege und Steuergeschenke für die Reichsten. Ein gerechter Steuerstaat ist für ihn der „Preis […] für eine zivilisierte Gesellschaft“. (212) …

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton spent much of the weekend campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s primary in New York. On Sunday, Sanders spoke before a crowd of over 28,000 in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in what the campaign described as Sanders’ largest rally ever. On Friday, Sanders took a break from the campaign trail to fly to the Vatican, where he addressed a conference on social justice.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: „Rather than an economy aimed at the common good, we have been left with an economy operated for the top 1 percent, who get wealthier and wealthier as the working class, the young and the poor fall further and further behind.“

Sen. Bernie Sanders: „I went to public schools in Brooklyn, New York. I had a good education, and I want every kid in this city and in this state to have a quality, good public education. And that means that instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires or fighting wars we should not be fighting, we’re going to be investing in housing and education and healthcare.“

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: Let me just say this. Wall Street is perhaps the most powerful economic and political force in this country. You have companies like Goldman Sachs, who just recently paid a settlement fine with the federal government for $5 billion for defrauding investors. Goldman Sachs was one of those companies whose illegal activity helped destroy our economy and ruin the lives of millions of Americans.

But this is what a rigged economy and a corrupt campaign finance system and a broken criminal justice system is about. These guys are so powerful that not one of the executives on Wall Street has been charged with anything, after paying, in this case of Goldman Sachs, a $5 billion fine. Kid gets caught with marijuana, that kid has a police record. A Wall Street executive destroys the economy, $5 billion settlement with government, no criminal record. That is what power is about. That is what corruption is about. And that is what has to change in the United States of America… Mehr dazu.
