When undue influence of money has so corrupted our govt as to turn it for all intents & purposes into little more than a system of legalized bribery, it's time for the people to step in. The system that created the corruption & hasn't stopped it is not the force that will fix it.

About universal healthcare, free college & cancelling college loans, many ask how we can pay for it. We begin by repealing huge tax cuts to richest individuals & corps, plus absurd subsidies. $27B last year to fossil fuel companies?! Amazon made $100B & paid 0 in federal taxes?!

We’re the only major country that bases most of our educational funding on property taxes. Every American school should be a palace of learning and a temple of culture and the arts. America’s gold and America’s greatness lie waiting to be mined in every one of our kindergartens.

We need massive realignment of investments toward America’s children. We lose billions if not trillions of potential earnings, not to mention the probability of a peaceful future, by not fully developing the brain power of our youth. I want cabinet level Dept. of Chilren & Youth

We only need about 7,000 more unique donors to make the 65,000 needed to get onto the DNC debate stage. But time is beginning to run short! Please ask everyone you know; even a one dollar donation will do! secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

The psychopharmacological/psychotherapeutic/industrial complex turns what is often normal human suffering into a multi-billion $ profit center, too often masquerading as help or healing to unsuspecting sufferers. When I’m president, the FDA will no longer be Big Pharma’s lapdog.

White nationalists are terrorists no different than any others. Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, Poway: they’re not lone wolves but individual expressions of a collectivized hatred. All of us must ask ourselves “How can I help create a world in which no one would be called to that?”

We repudiated aristocracy in 1776 & it’s time to repudiate it again. As it turns out the American Revolution is an ongoing process, as rights of the many to actualize their dreams comes up anew against what Jefferson called “the general tendency of the rich to prey upon the poor”

Once again, if you look at those interviews you will see that I was simply answering questions that were put to me regarding the 65,000. I remember specifically saying to Alex Witt on MSNBC that I have no problem with the fact that the 65,000 is a criteria.

Can you tell me where I complained? I was asked about in in a couple of situations and I responded accordingly. I am excited to be part of the process I certainly do not see myself as a victim.
