Sanders argues America is the richest nation in history yet fails on healthcare, education, and childcare, citing his brother's free college tuition decades ago versus today's costs.
- America is the wealthiest nation in history, yet lacks the best healthcare, education, affordable housing, or nutritious food for its people.
- A small number of extraordinarily wealthy tech billionaires have concentrated power and believe they have a divine right to rule with little accountability.
- Most Americans agree the healthcare system isn't working and that healthcare should be a human right, despite the country's divisions on other issues.
- Bernie's brother paid zero tuition to Brooklyn College in the 1970s, and UC schools had zero tuition then, but today families can't afford to send kids to college.
- Psychologists say ages zero through four are the most important years for children's development, yet America's childcare system is terrible and workers earn only $15 an hour.
- American kids rank 37th in the world in science, reading, and writing.
