This Is Now: Bernie Sanders and John Nichols

Kepler's could not be more thrilled to bring you Senator Bernie Sanders and The Nation's National Affairs Correspondent John Nichols for a rousing discussion of Sanders' new book, It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism. And why not be angry? Consider the following:

• While inflation spirals, "major U.S. corporations are reporting record profits, as companies pass rising supply-chain costs onto consumers."-PBS NewsHour

• U.S. corporations dodge $90 billion a year in income taxes by shifting profits to subsidiaries in tax havens-$2.1 trillion in profits offshore, untaxed in the U.S.-Americans for Tax Fairness

• While households worldwide faced rising energy and goods prices, "Exxon Mobil saw record annual profits in 2022, bringing in $55.7 billion-more than doubling the energy giant's $23 billion in profits in 2021."-USA Today

• About one in three Americans are very or extremely concerned about their current financial situation. One in four said they've reduced savings or 401(k) contributions; 18% have delayed medical care; 22% have sold off their possessions to bring in more cash.-savings.com

Senator Sanders wants you to feel the anger-then do something about it. Should we just accept that three billionaires control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we stop the super-rich from buying elections and politicians? How do we create a fair and just society?

Join Bernie Sanders, John Nichols, and Kepler's own Angie Coiro for an urgent and inspirational conversation!
