Bernie Sanders Makes Stop At SW Philly Baptist Community Center

By Mike Dougherty

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --  Bernie Sanders is campaigning in Pennsylvania. This morning he made a stop at a community center in West Philadelphia to share his vision for America.

An enthusiastic Senator Sanders told the crowd of about 200 gathered for breakfast that he will be the warrior they need in Washington.

"Telling the wealthiest people in this country that they cannot have it all."

His lofty goals include universal health care, free college, reducing the prison population and ending the so-called war on drugs.

"My friends, the main point that I want to make this morning is that we are not a poor country. We are the richest country in the history of the world. There is nothing that we cannot accomplish."

And he says the first step is making Wall Street play by the rules by no longer allowing companies to hide billions in untaxed revenue overseas.
