Will you be a rubber stamp for the anti-worker agenda of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other multibillionaires who are blatantly anti-union, they don’t make any bones about it, or will you stand with working families all over the country?
Bernie Sanders
The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality.

Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
I have reviewed your record, and in many respects, especially given the nature of the nominees that Mr. Trump has brought forth, it is very good.
Today in America we are rapidly moving toward an oligarchic form of society where a handful of multibillionaires not only have extraordinary wealth, but unprecedented economic, media, and political power.
Together, we can stop Republicans from cutting Medicaid and giving tax breaks to billionaires.
The role of billionaires in politics, it's not just Musk, it's others. It's not just Republican billionaires, it is Democratic billionaires. It is the corruption of the two-party system.
I'm going to speak to Senator Bernie Sanders in the next hour about this very effort, and whether they do feel that they have proper oversight of how this is being conducted.

Right-wing extremism is not just an American phenomenon. It's worldwide.
Better health coverage? If Canadians became US citizens they would lose their free health care.
Donald Trump is dead set on destroying public education in this country.
In America, we must not allow our educational system to become a two-tier system.
In my opinion, what Musk and those around him are aggressively striving for is not novel. It is not complicated, and it is not new. It is what ruling classes throughout history have always wanted and have always believed is theirs by…
But I must confess that he's done an exceptional job of demonstrating a point that a few of us have been making for years, and that is the reality that we live in an oligarchic society in which billionaires dominate not only our politics…
They don't want ordinary people—that's you—and democracy getting in their way.
That is a very troubling response because the studies are there. Your job is to have looked at those studies as an applicant for this job.
Today, the oligarchs and the billionaire class are getting richer and richer and have more and more power.
It is dangerously unacceptable that an unelected Musk and his unqualified acolytes have access to sensitive CMS systems.
Our job is not to destroy public education, it is to significantly improve it!
Today, Mr. Musk is worth $402 billion. (Mark) Zuckerberg is worth $252 billion. (Jeff) Bezos is worth $249 billion. With combined wealth of over $900 billion, these three people, three people, are more wealthy than the bottom half of…
