U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.
Today, someone who makes $147,000 a year pays the same amount of Social Security taxes as a millionaire or billionaire. Does that make sense to you?

I must confess that I love diners. I have not eaten at every diner in Vermont, but I've been to most. They're unpretentious, the food is good, the prices are right and the staff are friendly. Join us on a visit to the Blue Benn in Bennington.

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
The business model of Wall Street is fraud.
