Nobody has been arrested on Wall Street for the crash of 2008. They're not paying their fair share of the taxes. And now with the Citizens United case of the Supreme Court, they get to buy politicians up out in the open.

We should not allow wealthy people, including corporate criminals, to hide their assets and avoid paying their bills.

Billionaires like the Koch brothers, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, and political puppet master Karl Rove should not be able to buy our elections. Secret money should not be able to drown out the voices of the American people and sell our Democracy to the highest bidder.

I'm convinced that unless you have some public financing of elections, you are never going to remove the power of wealthy interests over elected officials.

Bush already gave obscene tax breaks to people like me and Warren Buffet, and we are saying it's not fair.

I do not believe wealthy candidates should spend vast resources in their own campaigns.

Those people are unabashedly ruthless as far as money is concerned.

Dick Cheney and Bush's rise to power were built on tons of money from corporations and a dulled press.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

The wealthy are doing just fine in the Obama economy.
