Wealth and Income Inequality - Bernie Sanders' Views

"Today, we live in the richest country in the history of the world, but that reality means little because much of that wealth is controlled by a tiny handful of individuals.

The issue of wealth and income inequality is the great moral issue of our time, it is the great economic issue of our time, and it is the great political issue of our time.

America now has more wealth and income inequality than any major developed country on earth, and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is wider than at any time since the 1920s.  
The reality is that since the mid-1980s there has been an enormous transfer of wealth from the middle class and the poor to the wealthiest people in this country. That is the Robin Hood principle in reverse. That is unacceptable and that has got to change."

That's how Bernie Sanders starts to outline his views on wealth and income inequality.  I'm firmly behind Bernie for President and hope you'll at least consider his views, even if you disagree.  Here's his whole outline on the issue from his website, which I agree with 110%.
