Downton America?
America now faces more wealth inequality than any time since the 1920’s. The richest 1% of Americans own 40% of all the wealth in the country. One family alone, the Walton family of WalMart, is richer than the lowest 127 million people 4 out of 10 Americans.
While the inequality has been rising, our politicians have only been helping the billionaires. Senator Bernie Sanders is running for President, and his main mission is to stop this inequality. Bernie will ensure that the richest people in the world are not taxed less than the middle class, as they are now. Bernie Sanders is leading the charge to take money out of political elections. You can find a list of more actions at www.berniesanders.com. But Senator Sanders needs your help.
