Sanders: ‘The Democratic Party Needs a Fundamental Restructuring’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "You know, we can argue about where the Democratic Party should go. And I -- and as you know, my view has been that the Democratic Party needs a fundamental restructuring. In terms of how it does business and what its points of view are. I think at a time when we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality, when 52 percent of all new income today is going to the top 1 percent, when you have people in my state of Vermont and all over this country are working two or three jobs, when kids can’t afford to go to college, when you have millions of workers trying to make it on $10, $11, $12 an hour. I think the Democratic Party has got to be clear that we stand with working families. We are prepared to take on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel companies and create a government which works for everybody and not just the 1 percent."
