"Sanders said money controls politics ..." especially the Koch brothers' money.

...................................................................................................................................................................
COMMENTS: 
*  So presidential. Sanders is compassionate and dedicated to the people of the United States. An educated, healthy populace is a powerful populace.
*  ... Regardless of which side of the aisle someone is on.. Bernie Sanders is for changing that.. Focusing on putting things right.  If you want something to compare his proposals to. Look at Eisenhower's 1956 "Republican" campaign platform.
*  Do you see any other candidate with "any" proposals for education. Except for the right wing trying to destroy it ??
*  Sanders is the only candidate of either party who does not have the stench of a billionaire wafting about him(her)
   *  Stench is a mild word compared to the putrification exuding from the Koch brothers and their ilk!! The way they buy and pay for politicians is enough to make a maggot puke. It make one feel as if they had been eaten by a coyote and defecated over a cliff!
      *  Holy ****, a maggot puke? That's really bad, it's no wonder I call the so-called GOP the REPUKEBLICANS. The sure make me want to puke, but do understand I'm not the maggot. When a person really stop and think about it, what have the Repukeblican party done for every day hard working Americans. Actually, what they have done is on the negative side of things, yet they keep pushing for more damage.

Sanders jabs Koch brothers over Walker exit
By Bradford Richardson, September 27, 2015

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful, on Sunday took a jab at the Koch brothers over their support of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who dropped out of the GOP race last week.

Sanders said money controls politics, despite the well-funded Walker's exit from the race.

"I wish the Koch brothers would say, ‘Well, gee, now we can take the $900 million that we planned to spend in this campaign supporting right-wing Republicans… and we’re not going to spend it,’” Sanders said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “But, John, I’m not sure that the Koch brothers learned that lesson.”

The self-identified Democratic socialist took Jeb Bush to task for saying people vote for “free stuff.”

“Well, let’s be clear that what Jeb Bush is proposing are massive tax breaks for the richest people in this country, while he will fight to cut social security and Medicare and programs that tens of millions of elderly people and middle-class people and working-class people depend upon,” Sanders said.

“I happen to believe, John, that in a democratic, civilized society, all people should be entitled to healthcare as a right – yeah, I do believe that.”

Bush had described the Democratic Party platform as buying voters with "free stuff."

Sanders also called for public colleges and universities to be tuition free and said the wealthy will have to pay “substantially more in taxes.”
