Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders faced a growing backlash on social media Wednesday after he began charging upwards of $95 per ticket to hear him discuss his latest book ‘It’s Okay To Be Angry About Capitalism’.
“Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans,” the description of the book reads. “Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.”
