If you can't tell people that the corruption of oil companies and what they do and the money they drown this place with is connected to your high energy costs, then you're not telling the story. If you can't tell about why people's high prescription drug costs are because pharmaceutical companies come to this town and drown it in money. That's what corruption has to be talked about. So you're saying it has to be about democracy because that's what's happening and you have to connect it to the ways in which people experience it in their daily lives. (17:00–17:13)
