And that means the power of Wall Street, the power of corporate America, the power of the billionaire class to own the politics of this country.” Sunday Shows Sanders on Sunday joined CNN’s State of the Union (One, Two) with Jake Tapper and ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Trump’s Taxes Sanders responded to the report that Donald Trump possibly avoided paying any federal income tax for up to 18 years, saying it's an example of the "corrupt" system that disgusts voters, The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Washington Post, Politico, Politico, The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, The Hill reported. Sanders told ABC's This Week that "billionaires like Donald Trump are able to manipulate the tax system so that they avoid paying federal income tax," USA TODAY reported. Obamacare Seeing a lack of competition in many of the health law’s online insurance marketplaces, Hillary Clinton, President Obama and much of the Democratic Party are calling for more government, not less, The New York Times reported. A significant number of Democrats, for whom Sanders spoke in the primaries, favor a single-payer arrangement, which could take the form of Medicare for all. Column: A Moral Economy “Despite the recent urging of high-profile figures like Pope Francis and Senator Bernie Sanders to establish a “moral economy,” we have not,” Nathaniel B. Davis wrote in The New York Times. “Free-market advocates hold fast to justifications that amount to variations on the ‘invisible hand’ theory of Adam Smith — that the economy is not a moral space, but one that relies on a free and fair market, self-interested (as opposed to selfish) actors and amoral (as opposed to immoral) calculation to arrive at the most efficient and innovative outcomes.” World Colombian Peace Deal Looks Defeated A Colombian peace deal that the president and the country’s largest rebel group had signed just days earlier appeared headed to defeat in a referendum on Sunday, leaving the fate of a 52-year war suddenly uncertain, The New York Times reported. Though the government had not officially called the result, the “no” vote was ahead by half a percentage point with 99 percent of the ballots counted, the government said Sunday. India Ratifies Paris Deal The Paris climate agreement, the world’s strongest effort yet to try to curb the pace of climate change, sped even closer toward becoming active as India, the planet’s fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, formally joined the accord Sunday, The Washington Post reported. National Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank AG’s talks with the U.S. Justice Department to settle a high-profile set of mortgage-securities cases are continuing, with no deal yet presented to senior decision makers for approval on either side, according to people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported. Vermont Minter Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sue Minter wants to expand the cap-and-trade program to gasoline, a move that added 11 cents to the price of a gallon of gas in California, The Burlington Free Press reported. The proposal is a key part of her plan to combat carbon pollution, a persistent theme in her campaign. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
