RUSH EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "Thank you for that question. Is it your assumption that I supported or believed in authoritarian communism that was in the Soviet Union? I haven't and I opposed it. I believe in a vigorous policy. You asked me about democratic socialism. Fair question and let me answer I happen to believe that in the United States there is something fundamentally wrong when we have three families owning more wealth than the bottom half of American society. 160 million people. Something wrong when the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 92%.”
