Now, when we talk about the kinds of changes we need in America, it's important to understand
00:12
that the oligarchs do not only have enormous economic power, they do, but they also have
00:22
incredible and unprecedented political power.
00:30
During the last election, Elon Musk himself spent $270 million in order to get Trump elected.
00:45
And his reward for that $270 million was to be made the most important person in the United
00:53
States government.
00:58
But it is not only Musk and Republicans who put huge amounts of money to elect right-wing
01:06
candidates and to defeat those who stand up for the working class.
01:10
It is Democratic billionaires as well.
01:18
There is a reason why over the years the Democratic Party has not been as strong as it should be
01:25
in standing up for the working class.
01:31
And that is the power of big money in the Democratic Party.
01:39

01:46
for the overwhelming majority of the American people who understand that there is something
01:52
fundamentally wrong in our campaign finance system when billionaires can buy elections.
02:06
And that is why together we've got to get rid of this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
02:14
