Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday flexed his new power as the Senate Budget chairman, hosting a hearing on "inequality in America" regarding income inequality in the country.
Sanders spoke out against the issue, calling it an "obscenity" that the 50 wealthiest people in the United States own more wealth than the bottom half of American society, he said.
The senator added he invited Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to speak at the hearing, but Bezos declined. A worker from an Alabama Amazon facility, Jennifer Bates, spoke out against the company for discouraging their location to unionize.
