Where exactly does Bernie Sanders stand on Citizens United?

And where do you stand?
If a corporation is considered a "person,"
why can't a person be considered a corporation,
with all the rights and privileges that status endows?
There are serious implications here, not just free speech issues.
There are economic issues.

Bernie Sanders on Education

Free tuition at public institutions of higher learning is a terrible idea that would lead to many unintended consequences. Free tuition would require a complete restructuring of the financial aid system, which may be needed, as Elizabeth Warren recognized years ago concerning the student loan program. But a lot of study needs to go into the issue. It's a topic to be discussed, but even if Bernie were elected, he would find it very difficult to move such a plan through Congress.
