The American People are Just Disgusted
Sen. Bernie Sanders spoke to an overflow audience of more than 200 people last Saturday in New Hampshire. On the same day in the same city, an organization funded by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch was staging a day-long series of speeches by Sens. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and others. “At a time when we have grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality, you know what these guys want? They want more tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country and the largest corporations. That’s what they believe in,” Sanders told Ed Schultz on Monday. He said the Supreme Court had dismantled decades-old limits on campaign cash in order to let wealthy individuals like the Koch brothers spend unlimited sums in unlimited ways to influence the outcome of elections. “The America people regardless of their political views are just disgusted by how much big money controls the political process,” Sanders said.
