Bernie Sanders Says Democratic Socialism Needed to Defeat "Corporate Socialism for the Rich"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Vermont senator and 2020 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders offered
a vigorous defense of democratic socialism in a major address Wednesday
at George Washington University, vowing to complete the "unfinished
promise" of FDR's New Deal and to work toward "economic rights" for all.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "When Trump attacks socialism, I am reminded again
of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, and I quote: 'This country has
socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor,' end-quote.
And that is the difference between Donald Trump and me. He believes in
corporate socialism for the rich and powerful. I believe in a democratic
socialism that works for the working families of this country."
