1. and the people who back will not yeild

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. I don't know why in this country it's considered to be "risky" to be anything other than Right Wing.

[Unknown Beatle]

17. Because the right wing has framed it that way

and the American people have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. And since the media is controlled by right wingers, they control the narrative.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. PART of the public has bought it but that number is shrinking.

[Populist_Prole]

28. There's some very vocal DU members who chafe at anything other than the status quo

To hear them tell it, it's a foolish notion we should shoot for anything other than being just even a liiiiitle bit leftward of today's GOP.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Actually, it's asking the rich if we can pretty please have a little social progress.

[Populist_Prole]

30. Nailed it. n/t

[sabrina 1]

31. Because bullies on the airwaves, which the Corps bought, make people feel they should

be quiet because maybe they are in the minority. When people stand up, and the more that do, the less these morons will have control of the message.

Propaganda works. IF people allow it to work.

32. Michael Moore said, "This is a very Liberal country." and the media acted like that was nuts....

But then,...many of them wear business suits worth more than average people make in a month.

3. Bernie is the one of the few people in Congress who has a spine

[RoccoR5955]

4. Excellent!

We NEED Bernie for our President!

5. Best video of Sanders I've seen.

Thank you for sharing it Playinghardball.

6. Another comment.

I don't know about all the numbers, but I believe there was a 'peace dividend' at the end of World War 2. Under Eisenhower, the highest marginal income tax rate was over 80%. We had peace and prosperity and American workers enjoyed a strong standard of living. One could work and raise a family and not live below the poverty level. We must return to this aspect of American life, where everyone is a part of democracy. We must reduce military spending as a percentage of gross domestic product. We must spend on our own citizens - it's our money that go into paying for our taxes. Our national security is not being threatened, there is no country that could take us over. We must go back to the principles of peace and prosperity at home and abroad.

9. It also helped that every country on earth that could offer

Any economic, manufacturing, or military competition to the United States had been bombed nearly flat.
It took Europe and Japan nearly 40 years to rebuild what was lost.
Post WWII American Exceptionalism isn't entirely a myth, but it isn't quite as true as we would like to believe, either.

13. Very astute. nt

[appalachiablue]

23. +1 Amen. That 30+ year period of prosperity and a large educated middle class was a

golden time that we must try to revive and supplement with new approaches for the 21st century. The French, who increased modernization and industrialization and saw economic and wage growth then, call the period (1945-1975) 'Les Trente Glorieuses', the Glorious Thirty. What a prosperous liberal era that was before the oil embargo impacts of the later 1970s and ultraconservative, reactionary governments of Thatcher (1979-1990) and Reagan.

Even before WWII, the USA was recognized as the strongest rising industrial nation due to it's vast size and wealth of resources in terms of materials, lands, people and trade networks. The US is also bordered by two large oceans and was overall superior to Europe and Japan in capacity and industry.

7. This is from 1992

And he still hasn't yielded.

K&R

[azmom]

8. Go Bernie

[restorefreedom]

10. this should be in an ad

same message, same bernie, always fighting for the 99.

[appalachiablue]

25. Best Video and Speech I've seen because Bernie calls out in 1992 the dangerous reality

that he recognized since the 1970s. This should be made into a campaign ad and disseminated widely!
Bernie was given his great name by his parents and providence, and with all due respect-- FEEL THE BERN!

Give 'em hell Bernie! Bernin' Down the HOUSE!

People on here who complain that Bernie's negative, loud and shouty and pessimistic don't also see his great humorous side and love of people and life. He's been pointing out the corrupt system for decades to warn and motivate for change for the better.

[restorefreedom]

26. he is da man for sure..powerful speaker

and i love that graphic!

[cantbeserious]

11. Righteous Indignation - This Is The Reason I Support Bernie

[Enthusiast]

14. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[Lifelong Protester]

15. K & R I will not yield, either!

That's why I support Bernie.

[floriduck]

16. That is one

powerful video of one powerful commitment to the poor and middle class (whatever is left of it.)

Excellent job.

[Kokonoe]

18. If YOU look real close. HHEEEEES LLLIEIng. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

19. That's why I support Bernie Sanders for President!

[MelissaB]

20. Big K&R!

[Plucketeer]

22. Let's see this kind of honest FIRE

from some other Dem contenders. They CAN'T, because their hands are shackled by corporate "handlers"!

[Thespian2]

24. Thanks for this...

Very powerful video...

[PatrickforO]

27. That is why I am supporting Bernie all the way.

He's got guts, he's smart and he actually CARES about the American people.

Can't ask for a better Prez than that!

Go Bernie!!!!!
