Tweet - "The expansion of the child tax credit this year has reduced child poverty in America by 40%. Incredible! But, if Build Back Better is not passed, that provision will soon expire and millions of children will be plunged back into poverty. Pathetic!"
Sen. Bernie Sanders

Sen. Bernie Sanders
Nov. 30, 2021
Tweet - "Let's be clear. The problem is not the worker who got a small raise & a $1,400 check 7 months ago. The problem is corporations making record-breaking profits while 700 billionaires became $2 trillion richer during the pandemic. We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%."

Tweet - "Let me say it again. You can't be a political party that talks about demanding the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and then end up with a bill that gives large tax breaks to millionaires. You can't do that. The hypocrisy is too strong. It's bad policy, it's bad politics."
