Cory Booker: “If you can't tell people that the corruption of oil…”

“… point policy plan, but to call to the moral imagination of a nation and say we're all in this together. We all have common yearnings for our children. Why democracy? 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.” (16:47–17:01)
