Unabridged Audiobook
I think ideas like Richard P just stated is the reason our country is in such trouble. I can’t take people like that seriously. Bernie makes the most sense out of any politician and certainly brings us this information because he is human and cares about what is happening with in our country and the current state of capitalism and it’s overall results because of billionaires not paying their fair share of taxes. Not because he values profit. If you wrote a book, you’d want people to buy it for it’s information right? Nothing is free in this world.
Everyone needs to read this book, pay attention and vote accordingly. Bernie Sanders is explaining how out of control capitalism, lobbying and government corruption are ruining this country. We need to get money out of politics. Right now big pharmaceutical companies, Wall Street, financial institutions are running our government as well as the NRA. Medical debt, student debt isn’t a thing in every other first world country.
Bernie of course does go into some ideas for the problems of uber capitalism. It's just that they are toward the latter half of the book where most Americans don't have the attention span to get to. He does talk about public campaign funding and other methods but i think more thought should be given into electing the legislature by random selection every two years. Lobbying should be a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The executive branch and judicial branch should be merged for efficiency as well. An excellent book from a totally legitimate human being. Pay no attention to the 1 star reviews as these people never bothered to read/listen to the entire book.
This book is very thin on the details of Mr Sandars proposals. Every solution offered is paid for by increased taxes on the rich without a specific amount. He should define "fair share". He also offers no analysis of what the consequences of his policy proposals might be. He also appears perfectly happy demonize those who are successful and to create class warfare.
Hates on capitalism, but has some good ideas. But 1 star, because he is using our capitalist system to make money off this book while saying that we need to be socialist, so I can’t take him seriously.
