Bernie Sanders is More American Than Ayn Rand [View all]
http://www.commondreams.org/views/2015/11/02/bernie-sanders-more-american-ayn-randWe Americans have been deceived by the notion that individual desires preempt the needs of society; by the Ayn-Rand/Reagan/Thatcher aversion to government regulation; by the distorted image of 'freedom' as winner-take-all capitalism; by the assurance that the benefits of greed will spread downwards to everyone.
Our current capitalist-driven inequalities will only be rectified when people realize that a strong community makes successful individuals, not the other way around.
