Sanders: Socialism Means ‘Human Rights and Economic Rights’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “And way back in 1944 in a little known, a little publicized state of the union speech, Franklin D Roosevelt said something, and I'm paraphrasing him, he said you know when we talk about human freedom and rights, we've got to understand that everybody needs a decent paying job, that people need health care, that people need education. And all over the world, these ideas are taking place. You go to countries in -- Scandanavia, they have strong preschool programs. They make sure their elderly folks can retire in dignity. These are not radical CD. Democratic socialism means to me, having in a civilized society, the understanding that we can make sure that all of our people live in security and in dignity. Health care is a human right. All people should have health care. You can't get ahead in this country, in this world unless you have a decent education. We have got to, as a right, end the kinds of discrimination, the racism and the sexism and the home foeb -- homophobia that exists, when I talk about Democratic Socialism, I talk about human rights.”
