It's fascinating to me that the more money that goes goes into our political system, the less we talk about actual politics. You want to hear what's really crazy? I mean, every day it gets worse. Today the average American gets one vote. Billionaires, however, through their super PACs, can spend unlimited amounts of money to elect the candidates of their choice. and to defeat candidates who stand up for working families or a just foreign policy. Super PACs, you could. I hate super PACs. I have legislation into abolish super PACs. (03:14–03:28)
