Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a Christ-following, life-long Republican and business owner, I would likely be in the demographic of the least likely to recommend this book or to embrace any of Bernie Sanders' policies, but I found this book to be challenging at a personal level. I chose to read it because I disagreed with much of what I heard about Bernie's platform. I wanted to understand how a socialist sees the world and this book delivered exactly that. My own small business struggles with the rising costs of health insurance, my own kids struggle with the ongoing burden of student loans, even while they succeed in their careers. And I have to agree that the present trajectory of making it easier for the wealthy (individuals and corporations) to escape taxes and thereby a responsibility to society, is not right. I did not become a progressive or a socialist as a result of reading this book and have significant questions/objections to some of Bernie's answers to the problems, but I agree fully that what he raises are certainly the issues that campaigns and our government should be focused on. I read this book as some one deeply concerned about the trajectory of our nation. If you're already a progressive, you'll love this book because it provides all the ammunition you need to support your position. If, like me, you discounted Bernie during the campaign because of his platform policies, then I strongly urge you to read this book.
