politico-wire Bernie Sanders Slams Billionaire 'Greed' in California Tax Battle
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized the "grotesque" levels of economic inequality in the US, urging California voters to approve a proposed tax on the state's richest residents. In a fiery speech in Los Angeles, Sanders railed against the "greed" and "arrogance" of the nation's "ruling class". The proposed tax has sparked a heated debate, with some ultra-wealthy tech leaders threatening to flee the state if it becomes law.
