Bernie Sanders On Money In Politics

i am prepared to take on the billionaire class r. and i think that's what has to happen if we're going to see a middle class expand

rather than continue to shrink hillary and republicans number twenty liberation's campaign they're going to raise probably well

think families thanks relies on small contributions can you win an election when you're so greatly outside it

was a little well the only candidates we have we also have huge super pacs and billionaire back at what we

are really only talking about nnnnn is whether or not this nation

is going to be calm and ala doctor form of society the very foundations of

american democracy all being threatened by a handful of incredibly wealthy people who

are saying you know why eighty billion is not enough in the yard they twelve billion more last year not

enough to make i have trouble and i'm going to get more tax cuts for myself and in order to do that we may have to cut social

security we may have to cut medicare when they have to cut medicaid we may have to cut education for

middle class families it seems to be very clear that unless we act boldly to reverse that trend nnnnn

we are seeing this country moving in exactly that direction and one of the reasons for that is

that as a result of the disastrous citizens united supreme court ruled which regards

corporations as people and allows the super wealthy to spend as much as they want on

elections the billionaire party which is obviously a line with the republicans is now in

fact the major political force in this country it's not the republic nobody per se it

is not the democratic party per se it is the billionaire party led by people like the cook brothers

and sheldon adelson and they are the i'm in a political force in this country because they can spend unbelievable

sums of money on elections they could spend as much money as they need setting up think

tanks and all kinds of organizations which will support their extreme right wing point

of view nnnnn
