Bernie Sanders

As a fan of politics, and an active watcher of the manipulative brainwashing people like to call news, I consider voting to be a big deal. Latinos make up a large portion of our United States population and I find it quite remarkable that there is such a burden on the Latino voters in this nation. In my opinion, I think votes coming from minorities, are the most significant. They are what give America, its so called “melting pot” aura. Without those voters, there are still issues out there…

stop them. Somehow Trump convinced the American people he can negotiate with Mexico for only three days and have a wall on the border with his term. Hillary Clinton told us that her emails weren’t classified information and some believed. And Bernie Sanders also convinced some that he can create a “single payer health care system without providing any details as to how it would be paid for.” (Gardner 144) A young boy or girl in middle school is running for class president could tell everyone…

Walmart can be summed up in the phrase “everything that is wrong with America.” It is anti-employee, racist, and degrades the environment. In fact, that is why many of my social-justice-minded friends refuse to support them. Walmart is the 23rd largest economy in the world, larger than the vast majority of countries. I, as an optimist about humanity, would like to believe Walmart is a force for good in the world, so I did some research hoping that the bad reputation was inflated. As I expected…

Clinton’s new policy proposals it does not make it any more affordable. All of the expansions she would like to add on to create greater tax rates. Other candidates, like Bernie Sanders offer their own version of a health care policy. Like all health care policies, every candidate sees health care an essential need. Bernie Sanders view’s health care as a necessary need no matter how much their income is. He believes that everyone needs it and deserves equal access to the a program. He sees…

Minimum Wage A hot topic across the United States is the debate about raising minimum wage. In Iowa the minimum wage is seven dollars and fifty cents. Some states have higher minimum wages but that could be due to the cost of living in that state. The United States’ minimum wage is seven dollars and fifty cents which most states follow. New York’s minimum wage is nine dollars an hour. Living in Iowa is a lower cost of living than living in New York. Some companies have raised their minimum wage…

Income inequality is the reason for America’s high influx of wealth to the upper percent of our country. Due to a now misrepresented governmental system, Americans wages and way of life has drastically lowered and as a result, has halted America’s once prestigious influence on the world 's economy. With the American dream far from capable in today 's economy, many question America’s opportunities for people of different backgrounds and countries. In our society the greatest achievement anyone…

One of the most pressing issues in the last two decades has been the economy. After the collapse of the housing market bubble, many economists have postulated on what caused the collapse. But more importantly, how America can recover. Although we are nearing the end of the recession, families and more importantly the middle class does not feel like it’s over. Robert Reich, one of the greatest economist of his time, postulates very generally that the problem is the growing gap between the rich…

The question about increasing the minimum wage is a controversial one. With the current federal minimum wage set at $7.25 an hour, and low-income earners continuing to struggle to make ends meet, proponents to a wage hike are biting at their chomps to get somewhere with the debate. But, like all things in life, the proposal to raise the minimum wage will carry some baggage—both good, and bad. What is the proposed minimum wage increase? We all remember seeing images splashed across social media…

as well as its citizens, millions of dollars. Lower-income citizens would only need to pay a percentage of the costs while the other costs would be paid for by a change in the tax structure on wealthy citizens and corporations. As written on Bernie Sanders' website, “Americans would no longer have to fear losing their health insurance if they lose their job, change employment or go part time.” Making one cost-effective healthcare system would relieve stress on businesses that are currently…
