The financial transactions tax proposed by 2016 U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to pay for tution costs at public colleges

Sanders says the tax would raise $75 billion, the Tax Policy Center estimate is $50 billion.

Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the "progressives" in the 2016 U.S. presidential election
02/04/2016
Bernie Sanders says Hillary is a "progressive" on some days, and not on other days such as when she received $675,000 for 3 speeches at Goldman Sachs to her 2016 presidential campaign fund. Hillary says she is amused at how Sanders has become a gatekeeper for the "progressive" label. This was in response to questions at a CNN town hall by Anderson Cooper on Feb. 3, 2016.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
