The reality is we that have a corrupt campaign finance system which separates the American people's needs and desires from what Congress is doing. So to my mind, what we have got to do is wage a political revolution where millions of people have given up on the political process, stand up and fight back, demand the government that represents us and not just a handful of campaign contribution - contributors.

This is what income inequality means in America, and why the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. According to a recent study, CEO pay is now 295 times more than the pay of a typical worker. In 1965, the differential was 20 times. We must create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

There are a lot of smart honest, progressive people who I think can be good presidents.

Real change never occurs from the top on down, [but] always from the bottom on up.

You know, let me be very clear. I supported Barack Obama originally.

People have a right to give a speech. And people have a right to protest. But I'm not a great fan of disrupting people's speeches.

What my campaign is about is a political revolution - millions of people standing up and saying, enough is enough. Our government belongs to all of us, and not just the hand full of billionaires.
