Sanders:
Is
the
economy
rigged?
Well, the 15 richest Americans acquired more
wealth in two years than the bottom 100 million people combined.
I’m
Bernie
Sanders
and
I
approve this
message.
My plan:
Make Wall Street banks and the ultra-rich pay
their fair share of taxes;
Provide living wages for working people;
Ensure equal pay for women.
The middle class will continue to disappear
[cheering supporters] unless we level the playing field.
With your help, as president, we will.
Notes: The cut from Sanders
talking to cheering supporters is odd.
The
Dec. 28, 2015 press release on the ads:
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Four new television ads from the Sanders
campaign
will hit airwaves in early primary states starting tomorrow. The spots
focus on Sanders’ plans to end policies that leave American families
working longer hours for lower wages.
“What this campaign is about is to demand that we create an economy
that works for all of us rather than a handful of billionaires,”
Sanders says in an ad titled “Working Families.”
In a second spot, Sanders tells a crowd about his fight in the Senate
to stop Social Security cuts. “We said it will be over our dead bodies
if you cut Social Security. As president, I will do everything I can to
extend the solvency of Social Security and expand benefits for people
who desperately need them,” Sanders promises in the ad titled “Social Security.”
“Bernie Sanders understands how pharmaceutical companies and major
medical companies are ripping us off,” Mari Cordes, a registered nurse
from Lincoln, Vermont, says in an ad on the cost of health
care. “He’s the only one who can bring real change.”
“The 15 richest Americans acquired more wealth in two years than the
bottom 100 million people combined,” Sanders says into the camera
before laying out his plan to make the wealthy pay their fair share and
bring prosperity to working Americans in a fourth ad titled “Bottom 100 Million.”
The new ads come on the heels of Sanders’ two millionth contribution
and a 12-point pickup in the latest CNN/ORC national poll, including
growing support among what the pollster refers to as non-white voters.
The latest The Economist/YouGov poll shows
Sanders gaining significant ground. Sanders is currently campaigning in
Nevada where more than 2,000 people turned out to see him speak just
two days after Christmas.
