Now is the time for millions of working families to revitalize American democracy." With the backdrop of Lake Champlain and its procession of boats large and small, Sanders vowed to steer the the country away from an economy defined increasingly by income inequality. Not only is the model "profoundly wrong," he said, "it is immoral, bad economics and unsustainable." To the nation's billionaires, Sanders added, "You can't have it all."Sanders' full speech is below.
