Can you imagine in this country if we had free pre-K for every working class family? Imagine that! A government actually responding to the needs of its people. That is the reality we are trying to build with this budget reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org

The American people should not be made to pay the highest prices on the planet for prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I do not think I am making a radical statement when I say that it's working class Americans, not billionaires who pay zero in federal income taxes, who need the help of their government. That's what I'm focused on. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

How do you feed your family, how do you pay to see a doctor, when you're spending, 40, 50, 60% of your income on housing? You don't! With the passage of this historic budget reconciliation bill, we can build the affordable housing that our country desperately needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The billionaires and enormous corporations cannot continue to have it all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The Republicans are very, very nervous, and I'll tell you why that is. On virtually every proposal — from providing paid medical leave, to making child care in this country affordable, to making community college tuition-free — we have widespread support from the American people. https://t.co/VnvCaGdmzY — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff Bezos is using his time to go out and zoom around outer space. Good for him. Poll after poll shows the American people want him to pay his fair share of taxes back here on Earth. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Why is it considered radical that we should significantly invest in the needs of the working class of this country? I'll tell you why — because for decades, the needs of working people have been ignored to placate the wants of the top 1%. Those days are going to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The richest guys in the world are off in space. They're not particularly worried about Earth anymore. The days of them not paying a nickel in federal income taxes are going to end, and we will finally invest in the long-neglected needs of America's working families. https://t.co/BdM7F8U8OU — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Maybe there's a problem with an economic system which sees a handful of billionaires grow their wealth massively during a pandemic, and zoom around space in rocket ships, while millions of people struggle to keep a roof over their heads in the richest country on Earth. — PolitiTweet.org

As part of the historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit, working families across the country are NOW receiving their first monthly direct payment of up to $300 per child. This is no small thing. How are payments helping you and your family? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Here is what the modern Republican Party is all about: cult-like devotion to Trump, big lies and conspiracy theories, voter suppression, climate denial and anti-science vaccine rejection. For the sake of our kids and future generations, they cannot be allowed to prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For decades, new parents in the United States have been guaranteed ZERO days of paid leave to spend time with their new baby. Unacceptable. With the passage of our budget reconciliation bill, we can end that international embarrassment and guarantee paid leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The next time you hear Republicans start to talk about 'family values' this or 'party of the working class' that, remember: every single Republican in the House and the Senate voted AGAINST giving working families direct monthly payments of up to $300 per child. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In a moral society, what does it mean to live in dignity? Does it mean that despite being the richest country on earth, having an enormously high rate of child poverty, or guaranteeing zero days of paid leave for new moms, or a disastrous child care system? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

As cities around the world experience 100-year floods every year, as the Pacific Northwest is inundated with wildfires, and as heatwaves around the world burn and suffocate wildlife — I ask again — how is bold action on climate considered radical, and this new normal is not? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

At a time of massive wealth and income inequality and when half our people are living paycheck to paycheck, what the reconciliation bill will finally do is address the needs of our working families by asking the wealthy and large corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. https://t.co/NH9s9x1dUA — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This budget reconciliation bill is the most consequential piece of legislation since the 1930s. https://t.co/clCEAZdzSX — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Tomorrow, the expanded Child Tax Credit will begin providing monthly direct payments of up to $300 per child to working families in every state across this country. And with these direct payments, we will begin to cut childhood poverty by more than half. That is no small thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The debate is over. There is no doubt that the climate crisis is happening now. The choice before us: how will we respond when the very future of our planet is at stake? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For years and years, Republicans have told us that if we just cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, working people will share in the prosperity. Wrong. Trickle-down economics is a fraud. It's time for corporations to finally pay their fair share in taxes. https://t.co/rRLJh4LCM9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Seniors should be able to grow old in the United States and be able to hear the world around them, clearly see their loved ones, and keep teeth in their mouths. That is not a radical statement. We must expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, vision, and dental care. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For decades, we have ignored the threat of climate change, a crumbling infrastructure, a disastrous child care system, a massive need for affordable housing, that we are the only major country not to guarantee paid medical leave. Our budget must meet the needs of this moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When government priorities have focused almost exclusively on the wants of corporations and billionaires for decades, I suppose it can seem a little radical to focus on the needs of the working class for a change. I happen to think government should work for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In case anyone forgot, we have been going through a global pandemic filled with enormous loss. Does anyone seriously doubt the fact that there is tremendous pain and suffering all throughout this country? We can and we must provide real relief to working people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Here on Earth, in the richest country on the planet, half our people live paycheck to paycheck, people are struggling to feed themselves, struggling to see a doctor — but hey, the richest guys in the world are off in outer space! Yes. It's time to tax the billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It is not radical to suggest that seniors in the richest country in the history of the planet should be able to afford to keep teeth in their mouths. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Have you ever had to choose between buying groceries or paying for a prescription? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I stand in solidarity with @SEIU73 and 2,500+ Cook County workers — custodians, technicians, & clerks who are on strike for a new contract. It's outrageous that Cook County received $1 billion from the American Rescue Plan but still refuses to negotiate a fair deal for workers. — PolitiTweet.org
