Sanders: Free tuition the 'driver of a new era of American prosperity'

And what democratic socialism is about is saying that it is immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of one percent in this country own nearly 90 percent-almost-own nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. UNC Asheville students gathered in the Laurel Forum to watch the televised debate. "I served on the Foreign Relations Committee and I chaired the Middle East Subcommittee for four years". "He was touching a few subjects you don't hear in the public arena".

Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy do have much in common, of course, but the latter is more concerned about providing basic necessities to all citizens, while the former is focused on spreading ownership of capital and creating a truly democratic society. Neither does he want to abolish private property, as most GOP candidates will begin spewing eventually.

When candidates were asked which of their enemies they were the most proud of, most named political adversaries like the National Rifle Association and coal lobbyists. He believes socialism is required to salvage the economy and, by extension, the political system from "over dominance" of the conglomerates of big business, billionaires and millionaires. At this stage especially, name recognition and spreading a message is more important than success. "He is just moderate in the wrong things".

Similarly, O'Malley tried to convey a record of past accomplishment as governor of Maryland and an assertion that like Webb's proclamations he was a strong leader.

Americans have become accustomed to that stereotype, but that's not to say we like it, whether from Republicans or Democrats. "Not by pandering to the NRA and backing down". "He wasn't ever addressing Anderson or the other candidates, he was always looking in the camera and I didn't like that". Sanders says these taxes would raise $6.5 trillion over 10 years.

From the beginning, this campaign really has not been about opponents, its been about Bernie and his message, Devine said. Dr. Cornel West, honorary co-chair of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is listed under the category of "academic/philosopher".

Sanders predicted that if he is the Democratic nominee, he would not only win the White House, but sweep Democrats into office all across the country. "That it is wrong, today, in a rigged economy, that 57 percent of all new income is going to the top one percent". Except that in socialist Venezuela, which Sanders once praised for shipping fuel to New England, there is a shortage of toilet paper.

"It's to have the government work for the people, by the people".

"Basically, the Bernie campaign is the only campaign that's anti-corruption, anti dark money", he said. "These corporations buy elections so lawmakers will do their bidding". When we get to Super Tuesday, those groups are going to dominate. "It's not one party's fault that the government keeps failing, it's both of them not being able to agree on anything and unwilling to compromise", Suggs said. In various areas, including income inequality and global warming, Senator Sanders unquestionably deposed Former Secretary Clinton as regent.

"I want to dispel the myth that [the campaign] is not inclusive, that Bernie doesn't understand those issues, and that he is not speaking to them", he said.

Although the Sanders presidential site is short on tax information, his Senatorial site is not.

Sanders spoke to the Tucson crowd about a variety of social and economic issues, including education and immigration. "I'm sick of it". Yet, others responded with confounding answers that caused the viewers to question not only their judgment but their sanity, while the victor of the debate may have shied away a lurking competitor from jumping in the race.

"He's for the little guy", says Becky Davis, 65, a registered nurse from Burlington who wore her blue "Feel the Bern" T-shirt to a Sanders' town hall in Fort Madison, along the Mississippi River.

Clinton also kept more to the center with her policies. If you see Hillary on TV with that purse-lipped expression she sometimes has - the one where she's sucking a slice of lemon - this is why. "I don't think she represents real change at all". Love me or hate me, I'm a feminist, and therefore, I believe that women should have equal pay, have access to domestic violence support services, access to birth control and abortion and have access to medical services like Planned Parenthood.

"I think Hillary is doing well, making calm rational points", said sophomore Peter Harrison.

Suggs said the role money plays in politics has gotten out of hand.

The senator himself is famously contemptuous of the media, or the "corporate media" as he usually calls them. Yes, he does include a number of taxes to pay for them.

Sanders reaffirmed during last week's Democratic debate his view that gun manufacturers should not be liable for mass murders committed with their firearms if they followed the rules when selling their products. The Democrats were less contentious, due to mostly agreeing with each other, Suggs said. He said political corruption discourages the public, contributing to low voter turnout. "We are exhausted of the two-headed snake that is the Democrats and the Republicans", Scott said.
