Bernie Sanders: The United States is Increasingly Moving Toward ‘an Oligarchic Form of Society’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “Yeah. Yeah, Jake, I think — here’s the message. And it’s a message that I know is difficult for many politicians to bring forth. And that is the recognition that increasingly, the United States is moving toward an oligarchic form of society. The economy is very clear what’s going on right now. The billionaire class and the one percent have never, ever had it so good. Period. End of discussion. More income and wealth inequality than any time in American history. Tens of millions of people, working people struggling to put food on the table. That is the reality. It’s not Kamala Harris’ fault. It’s not Joe Biden’s fault, it’s not Donald Trump’s fault. It’s been that way for a long time, getting worse. But you know what? You got to recognize that. And then what you got to say is, look, working people of America, I am on your side and I am prepared to take on the billionaire class, including these wealthy campaign contributors who right now are dominating the political process.”
