This country needs change. There is a man who has been in government since the 60s and has seen the downfall of the middle class firsthand: Bernie Sanders.
Look up his track record for yourself. I don't have room here to mention them all.
He supports raising corporate tax rates because no matter what the law says, corporations are not people. He also does not support the Citizens United decision, that says billionaires and corporations can buy the United States government with million-dollar campaign contributions. Basically legalized bribery.
He has had rallies in Chicago and Los Angeles that have had over 20,000 people attend. Why haven't we heard about Sanders? Because Fox "news" and CNN are owned by billionaires, the people who will get a higher tax rate if Sanders is elected.

That is what really makes them soil their linen.

All it takes are a few people like the guy that wrote this, to start a fire and spread the Bern.
