Bernie Sanders in Fox News Sunday interviews during 2019


On Corporations: Democratic socialism means working for everyone, not just 1%

Q: You're defining down democratic socialism to make it more palatable to voters. It's actually a dramatic change and a transfer of economic power to the people.

Sanders: We have to break up the large financial institutions on Wall Street, who have unbelievable economic power. We have to stand up to drug companies charging us twice as much for medicine compared to other countries. We have to stand up to the insurance companies and move to Medicare-for-All. We have to stand up to the military-industrial complex where there's enormous fraud and waste. We need an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

On Corporations: Workers should have more say on what goes on in the economy

Q: Do you believe in public ownership of industries?

Q: Do I believe that workers should have more say and be sitting on the boards of large corporations? Yes, I do. Do I believe that we should break up some of the major banks on Wall Street and support credit unions & community banks? Yes, I do. You've got 6 financial institutions that have assets equivalent to 54% of the GDP. Democracy means not just voting every 2 years, it's giving working people more of a say in what goes on in the economy.
