Sparks Fly As Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton Clash On Capitalism At Democratic Debate

Last updated on September 25th, 2023 at 01:48 pm

Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton clashed early in the Democratic debate with a contrast in how they view capitalism.

Anderson Cooper asked Bernie Sanders if he considered himself a capitalist. Sanders answered, “Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little by which Wall Street greed and recklessness wrecked this economy? No, I do not.”

Former Sec. State Clinton jumped in, “When I think about capitalism I think about all the small business that were started because we have the opportunity and freedom in our country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families, and I don’t we should confuse what we have to every so often in America which is save capitalism from itself, and I think what Sen. Sanders is saying certainly makes sense in terms of the inequality that we have, but we are not Denmark. I love Denmark, but we are the United States of America, and it’s our job to reign in the excesses of capitalism and doesn’t cause the kind of inequities in our system.”

Sanders said that you can have all of the growth that you want, but it doesn’t mean anything if all of the wealth is going to the top one percent.

It was an exciting exchange that highlighted the degree of difference between the two candidates on the economy. Bernie Sanders gave a very populist answer while Hillary Clinton offered an answer that sounded like it was crafted for the general election.

This is a very exciting debate, as the Democratic candidates are pointing out their differences early and often.
