CNN: Bernie Sanders on Economics, Taxes, 'State of the Union' Video Clip of One Show Topic, 7/5 [View all]

Last edited Sun Jul 5, 2015, 06:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Sen. Bernie Sanders answers host Jake Tapper's question about raising taxes on CNN's 'State of the Union' Sunday program today. This particular question/topic was one of about a half a dozen that Tapper initiated during the 5-6 minute interview and Sanders responded to with additional information on issues and his views.
Other question/topics raised by Tapper and included in Sanders replies were about closing tax loopholes for corporations, income inequality and supporting education and jobs for high levels of youth unemployment in the US among blacks, Hispanics and whites.

The COMMENTS below the CNN Video segment state that Bernie Sanders would approve of three economists for his cabinet. In fact, Tapper first brought up the names, and Sanders agreed they were credible particularly *Robert Reich. Not in the comments or Video clip here is that **Sanders also added he would not use economists of past administrations that are from Wall Street.
