    You know, Kristen, when Abraham Lincoln was in Gettysburg, looking out on the field with so many had died to defend freedom, he talked about a vision of America where we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. What we have right now in Washington, let me be very clear, is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class and for the billionaire class.

    What a banger of a quote

      The Democrat Party and the Republican Party have never been at odds in their position that their political donors should run the government.

      The parties have largely just been the vehicles for turning corruption into legislation. Now that open corruption is legal, there’s no need to upset the cart, the Democrats are just waiting their turn.
