I Love This Article - if the Nation Was My Patient, Sanders Would Be My Prescription




Wealthy countries that prioritize relative financial equality have less depression, lower infant mortality, and fewer people suffering from drug addiction. They have greater social cohesion, more civic trust, and their children score higher on standardized academic tests. Great extremes in wealth and income, like we now have in our country, leads to a generalized societal dysfunction. We are not all in the same boat and we are painfully aware of that. The present-day extremes of income and wealth inequality in the United States even exceed those seen during the days of the robber barons.
I support Bernie Sanders because he has the most comprehensive plan to reverse the great wealth and income gap. Only by doing so will the health of our nation improve.
