Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who says universal health care is. Is too much to ask for and that taxing billionaires is class warfare against the rich. I don't trade stocks. I don't take corporate PAC donations. I don't take money from fossil fuel companies. I do not treat public office as a personal self enrichment. Ain't no mountain high enough, Ain't nobody low enough. (18:56–19:04)
