Bernie Sanders and Inequality - What is it?

Bernie Sanders seems to be the only major politician in the United States that understands the concept of inequality. The other ones who also understood it were murdered.

If you dissect Martin Luther King's social policy, Bernie's message is the only one that lines up perfectly, whether regarding criminal legislation, economic decisions or fiscal challenges.

We quickly realize he is one of the only candidates that's fighting the good fight.

And how do I know this? How do I know that this is the good fight?

Because I also happen to understand the social intrisicaties that were manipulated by fiscal and economic past decisions. Those decisions created inequality.

For starters, I think we can all agree that we need a social model which provides equity of opportunity (which applies to breaking social and/or institutional barriers), as, ideally, you want to provide a fair, healthy and equal ground of social competition – by doing so, you would try to tackle issues where no person was able to determine anything about themselves that they would use as an exercise of their self-determination (like issues of education and healthcare).

In practice, to determine who would apply for such a special treatment, it would be necessary to apply a principle of non-discrimination, which implies treating that which is equal in an equal manner and that which is unequal in an unequal manner, to the proportion/extent of that variance. And who can apply for this treatment? Who can we find that is in an unnequal situation for no reason that can be attributable to the exercise of his self-determination?

Basically, the question is, who can apply to this treatment through a basis of unsolicited inequality of opportunity?

And here is the answer:

Any individual who finds himself in such a degraded socio-economic situation that strangles and limits the development of his political consciousness and critical sensitivity – which constitute core elements to the initiative necessary to the amendment of his own situation – that as a consequence has a strong negative impact on their education which in turn leads to the continuation of this vicious cycle.

Any individual in this situation would apply for social compensations in order to cover for the hole which is too deep to climb by himself - especially when other people threw him into that hole.
