“The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power.”

“Politics is not about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives”

“Politics isn't about big money or power games, it's about the improvement of people's lives. Paul Wellstone”

“I am not interested in power for power's sake. Only interested in power that will allow people to liberate themselves from Big Brother.”

“Power and money in evil hands have caused all the miseries of the world so far. Both have devastated poorer countries in particular. There must be checks in the exercise of political and military power, and a ceiling on wealth (of all varieties). Governance in a situation of unequal hold on power and wealth is a sham. The pundits who write and lecture so much on governance should do well to learn this basic concept. ”

“Our political system is now run by the Big People for their own interests. If they ever deign to notice the Little People, it is with disdain and contempt.”
