Our job is not just to beg corporate CEOs, oh, please, lower prices. Please stop lowering wages. No. Our job is to permanently get big money out of politics so that those CEOs don't get a bigger say than all of us. Our job is to break up the big corporate monopolies that are screwing us every single day. Bring down housing prices for good, bring down grocery prices for good, require good living wages for a full day's work. (32:36–32:44)
