Candidates Rise Volume 127 March 12, 2020 Number 11 By Dr. Jim Haas Until a few weeks ago, there were more Democratic presiden- tial candidates than a small child The could count, but the recent primary elections saw two candidates rise to the top and others rise to the occasion. As this is written, Joe Biden is the favorite with Senator Bernie Sanders a strong contender. Unlike Republican candidates in Record 2016 who refused to get behind a single alternative to the uninformed and immoral Trump, Democrats put State of Kansas is Prepared their egos aside in order to back a potential winner.

How to pay for all these improvements? Biden and Sanders agree that far too much of the nation’s wealth has gone into the pockets of Under Governor Kelly’s For information direction, KDHE and KDEM the very rich and not nearly enough to the millions of working people are: call 816-805-0150 who are America. Both would undo the 2018 Republican tax cuts for the rich and also tax high individual and corporate wealth in other ways. There’s more than enough there to pay for all the candidates’ plans and leave the rich still plenty rich. Both support strong unions as a proven way to reduce the gap between the rich and the rest and to ensure workers have a voice in Periodical Postage Paid at Kansas City, their company’s policies. Both want a higher minimum wage, strong voting rights protections, and an end to gender discrimination and to the influence of big money in elections. Overall, Sanders advocates deeper changes while Biden prefers a more incremental approach. None of this will happen, of course, unless a Democratic president has a Democratic House and Senate to write and approve legislation. Even then, a president’s proposals are always modified by Congres- sional negotiations. That’s how democracy works. Senator Klobuchar looked forward to returning “dignity and de- cency” to the White House. Should either Biden or Sanders win in November, that will happen.
