It is against civil liberties to pay less to women for jobs equivalent to men’s. “Women workers today earn 78 percent of what their male counterparts make” (Senator Bernie Sanders). In response to this Bernie Sanders, like all the Democrats do, proposes to pay equally to women workers. After the preparation of a financial base the next step is the most massive piece of Sanders’s plan: rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure.
Infrastructure is a fundamental part of our everyday life, and, because of this, Bernie Sanders wants a major rehaul of it. In January 2015 he introduced a bill about federal investment into American infrastructure to the US Congress. Bernie is not waiting for the Presidential campaign to bring his thoughts to the table. …show more content…
On international trade, Sanders, like most other democrats, with exception of President Obama, believes that the Trans-Partnership only benefits large corporations “at the expense of workers, consumers, the environment, and foundations of American democracy.” (Feldmann) Since 2001 the USA lost 60,000 factories and 4.9 million “decent paying manufacturing jobs” (Senator Bernie Sanders). International Trade Policies was initially created for participating countries to lower tariff levels. It has been economically proven that tariffs lower overall trade. This occurs because the government lowers the demand for foreign products by making them more expensive, since their prices have to reflect the market entry cost, also known as the tariff. The initial trade policies were successful increasing trade by lowering tariffs. However, when all the tariffs had been lowered to a minimum, countries still wanted to increase trade through trade policies. The countries started to form exclusive deals with shady provisions.

Today in the USA many people have trouble affording health care. Instead of being a right for all, it is a privilege for some.

In contrast to this fact, the cost of health care has doubled for US government compared to other industrialized nations. “As a result of an incredibly complicated, wasteful, bureaucratic, and profit-driven system, the USA spends 17 percent of its gross domestic product – approximately $2.7 trillion annually – on health care and yet tens of millions remain uninsured” (Senator Bernie Sanders). “A 2009 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that nearly 45.000 people died a year because they do not have health insurance, including more than 2,200 veterans” (Senator Bernie Sanders). Many of these people died because they got medical help too late as a result of the absence of health
