Bernie Sanders Quotes About Giving Up
-
The struggle to create a nation and world of economic and social justice and environmental sanity is not an easy one. The struggle to try and create a more peaceful world will be extremely difficult.

These great lovers of America who made their money in this country-when you ask them to pay their fair share of taxes they run abroad.
