Al Sharpton in National Public Radio


On Education: Supports public education, not vouchers

I believe in public education, do not believe in going into privatization, whether that be through vouchers or other schemes.

On Technology: Cure economy by building infrastructure

First, I support the plan to invest $250 billion over a five-year period that would create jobs to rebuild and redevelop the infrastructure--roads, bridges, tunnels, highways, school buildings. Second, we should develop a national railway system. Third, I would rebuild the ports. So I think that the plan would create jobs where they’re necessary. Those income-producing jobs would become taxpayers. It would pay off the deficit. It would increase consumer activity.
