"Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck...
... [R]eal... wages... are... lower now than they were 50 years ago.
Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents. ...
Will the big money interests... who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons...? ...
Do they [know] how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power?"
-- [Senator Bernie Sanders, Nov. 6, 2024]
