[quote=AN][quote=SK in CV][quote=AN]I view Bernie as pretty extreme in comparison to Hillary and Bill.[/quote]
Be specific please. Extreme with regards to which policy position?[/quote]Taxes, trade, (to a much smaller extent) single payer healthcare.[/quote]
Both are opposed to the TPP. Sanders wants single payer now, and Clinton wants to improve upon the ACA (more towards single payer).
Clinton on taxes:
“The wealthiest pay too little in taxes while the middle class needs more relief. I’m going to fix that. I’ll close corporate tax loopholes and make sure millionaires and billionaires can’t pay lower rates than middle-class families. And I’ll give tax relief to working families who are struggling with costs from college to health care.”
Sanders on taxes:
“The wealthy and large corporations must pay their fair share. As president, I will stop corporations from shifting profits and jobs overseas to avoid paying taxes. I will tax Wall St. speculators who caused millions their jobs, homes, and life savings. I will tell the billionaire class: You can’t have it all while kids in this country go hungry.”
There’s not a lot of room between those two.
The biggest differences between the two is free college v. college that is affordable for all, and single payer now v. move towards single payer. Both are pretty standard Dem policy positions. Same targets. Different paths.
