WAUKEE, Iowa —Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders struck a chord with the crowd at the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines in Waukee on Sunday.

To a packed auditorium Sanders addressed issues like the economy, income and wealth inequality, climate change and what he called Republican values.

“Their family values mean that women in America should not have the right to control their bodies. I strongly disagree with that. Their views on family values our gay brothers and sisters should not have the right to get married. I strongly disagree with that,” he said.

Moderator and KCCI political analyst Denis Goldford said Sanders did well Sunday.

“Whatever his fortunes might be in Iowa, I think he's got a good reason to feel pretty good after this event,” Goldford said.

"income and wealth inequality"

I cannot stress this enough. Anyone can talk about income inequality. Aside from maybe raising the minimum wage, there's very little government can do about income inequality. Wesure are not going to tell General Electric or Chrysler that they have to pay their supply clerks in proportion to what they pay their highest paid executives. However, the government can do a lot about wealth inequality. Indeed, it has long been doing a lot about wealth inequality, namely, helping the rich get richer thereby increasing the inequality. Government can also reverse that. So far, no one but Bernie talks about wealth inequality.
