Bernie discusses saving the Postal Service with MSNBC’s Ed Schultz.

“There’s something fundamentally wrong in our society when so few have so much and so many have so little, when the top 400 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America. So to be talking, finally, about asking the richest people in this country to start paying their fair share is an important step forward.”
