Bernie Sanders Fires Up Rally Outside ‘Fiscal Summit’

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON -

Senator Bernie Sanders addressed social security supporters Tuesday, outside a fiscal summit.

According to a press release, the summit was hosted by Peter G. Peterson, the billionaire opponent of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

"If we want to move towards deficit reduction, maybe the time is now to ask Mr. Peterson and his billionaire friends to start paying their fair share of taxes rather than devastating middle income and working families," Sanders said.

Sanders says it's not fair that billionaires pay the same amount of money into social security, as people making $110,000 a year.

Sanders has introduced a bill to strengthen social security and guarantee benefits for 75 years.
