Bernie calls for A Revolution at the DNC Women's Leadership Forum: "We are slipping into oligarchy"

Video here: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/sanders-calls-for-a-political-revolution-550125123926

"The reasons that I am running for President is that I worry very much that both economically and politically our country is sliding into Oligarchy."

"We are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. But as we speak here and meet here this morning, millions and millions of Americans are struggling to feed their kids. We have the highest rate shamefully of poverty of any major country on earth and 40% of African American kids are living in poverty all at the same time that 58% of the new income is going to the top 1%."

Is there anything else that really needs to be said?

This is why we must vote this year, and vote for Sanders. Unless you trust Hillary to tell Wall Street to "Cut it out."
