BERNIE SANDERS ran as a Democratic candidate for President of the United States in 2015 and 2016. He served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1991. He was elected to the Senate in 2007 and is now in his second term, making him the longest-serving independent in the history of the Congress. He lives in Burlington, Vermont, with his wife, Jane, and has four children and seven grandchildren.

If one wants to know how Bernie Sanders stands it is a good read; just needs to be shorter

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Bernie through and through--corporate greed, the imbalance of executive salaries vs lower level employee wages, the corrosive influence of campaign contributions by PAC's and the Super-Rich and the quid pro quo expected.

It was a filibuster and therefor went on and on, page after page, redundantly. I read only half before realizing it would be the same, over and over.

If one wants to know how Bernie Sanders stands it is a good read; just needs to be shorter.

Interesting.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012

This was not written as a book, but rather is the transcript of a filibusterer; consequently it is marred by repetition and typographical errors. Having said that, I consider it a must read. I do not understand how anyone who is not making at least a million dollars a year could read this and still vote the Republican ticket. Democrats are not much better, but at least they make a pretense at being concerned about the welfare of their country and its citizens. Sanders is, of course, neither but rather an Independent.

This book is an excellent transcription of Senator Bernie Sanders' filibuster speech. It is inspiring and helpful to think in terms of political candidates, the issues and a good guide to use when considering a candidate on any level.
I highly recommend this book for poli sci students as well.

It was a ten hour speech that explored the economic policies enacted over the past 40+ years which benefited one population at the expense of others.

Some good points but some weaknesses too

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2012

I agreed with three key points he made: his criticism of the extension of Bus tax cuts, his opposition to the bailouts of large banks like JP Morgan Chase, and the repeal of the estate tax.

However, I had a large complaint with Sander's speech: I did not agree at all with his opposition to the payroll tax cuts. He denounces this as a right-wing plot to destroy Social Security; I think that's an unfair generalization. For example, Jimmy Carter in 1977 proposed paying Soc Sec benefits out of the general revenue. I doubt that was a secret plot to ruin Soc Sec. If you're going to stand up as the ally of working people, you should support a tax cut that benefits them. The revenue lost to the Treasury could be made up by a more rational tax, perhaps a carbon tax.
