The problem here is our political system is so corrupt, our politicians are beholden to corporations and the wealthy people. Look at today, the cost to run for a state house is about 50 to $100,000. The cost to run for a Congress position anywhere from a million to probably a million. I was gonna say probably a million. You know, to run for U.S. senate. You probably need about $10 million or something. Oh, yeah, maybe 100. You know, to run, become a president. (1:07:21–1:07:29)
