IT ISN’T that easy to find politicians who are willing to speak against rich and powerful institutions. Bernie Sanders is an exception—he fights for the welfare of ordinary people. These quotes from the Democrat presidential aspirant reflect his leadership and vision:

CEOs of large corporations earn 400 times what their workers make.
Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use the money saved for human needs.
Good environmental policy is good economic policy.
If we are serious about cutting air and water pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we should invest in solar energy.
