Sanders: ‘We Need a Tax on Carbon, We Need to End Fracking’ & We Need Single-Payer

‘We need to be very, very clear that the minimum wage must be raised to $15 an hour’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "We’re going to take that fight to Orlando, where the entire committee meets in two weeks. And if we don’t succeed there, we are certainly going to take it to the floor of the Democratic Convention. And that is what this discussion in Saint Louis did not include, as you indicated, the need to deal in a very strong way with the crisis of climate change. We need a tax on carbon. We need to end fracking. We need to be very, very clear that the minimum wage must be raised to $15 an hour. In my view, we need a Medicare-for-all singer-payer program. So, we have made some good gains, and I want to thank all of the people who participated in that process. We have more to do."
