6. this what it's all about...

Bernie,

" One out of every five children in America lives in poverty.

This year alone, the richest 172 billionaires in America added half a trillion dollars to their fortunes.

Billionaires stepping over children sleeping on the street is not what this country is supposed to be about. "


...while everyone else is focused on the horserace, 20% of our children are suffering in poverty as billionaires add another half trillion dollars to their fortune...

...only Bernie seems willing to tackle poverty and income inequality head-on and safe our children...

...I wonder how many children die each year, directly or indirectly, due to poverty and income inequality?
