Families are struggling to put bread on the table, send their kids to college and take care of their basic needs. America needs a political revolution.

We are moving in exactly the wrong direction in higher education. Forty years ago, tuition in some of the great American public universities and colleges was virtually free. Today, the cost is unaffordable for many working class families. Higher education must be a right for all - not just wealthy families.

Prescription drug prices are skyrocketing and one-third of all seniors depend on Social Security for at least 90% of their income.

I think there are many people in the working class who say, you know what? Yes, maybe we are better off than we were eight years ago, but I am still working two or three jobs, my kid can't afford to go to college, I can't afford child care, my real wages have been going down for 40 years. The middle class is shrinking. Who's standing up for me?

I don't believe government should take over, you know, the grocery store down the street or own the means of production.

In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign.

The only way change happens is when people become more significantly involved in the political process.
