You might think that if you had 10, $20 billion, it would be enough, you know, kind of enough to let your family live for the next 20 generations. But it's not. For whatever reason, whatever compulsive reason they have, These guys want more and more and more. And they are prepared to destroy Social Security, Medicare, nutrition programs for hungry people in order to get even more. That, to me is disgusting. So, Mr. President, we are at a pivotal moment in American history. (28:15–28:29)
