Robert Reich: “We allowed big money to take over.”

We are either patriots fighting the regime, or we are complicit in its tyranny.

I think the biggest problem with having so many billionaires at the top of government is that billionaires don't exactly know how normal people live.

When they talk of ‘personal liberties and free markets’ they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.

We’ve got to have a Democratic Party that is not afraid, that doesn’t take big money, that says to big corporations and Wall Street, 'Too bad. We are going to represent the people.'
