And he thinks there is “something fundamentally immoral and wrong” about a nation where there are some very wealthy people. Because…redistribution of wealth!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) complained Wednesday the media “makes a bigger deal” than it should about the modern debate between socialism and capitalism.
