It's Not "Socialism", It is "Freedom"

During the present presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders has been dogged by the label of "Socialist", when actually he is talking about "Democratic Socialism." The podcast episode below is the best apologetic for such to which I have been exposed.

A Science-Based Look At Bernie's Plan

"Thom Hartmann proves that Bernie Sander's plan to revitalize the middle class will work by proving how the Reagan Era tax cuts gutted the American dream. Sanders's plan will bring America closer to pre-Reagan era taxes.
