Speaking Monday at The Brookings Institution, Bernie recounted a weekend trip to the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. “While there, we read Lincoln’s extraordinary Gettysburg Address – where he spoke of his hope that this nation would have a ‘new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.’ As we drove home it struck me hard that Lincoln’s beautiful vision – a government of the people, by the people, for the people – was, in fact, perishing, was coming to an end, and that we are moving rapidly away from our democratic heritage into an oligarchic form of society – where we are experiencing a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class and for the billionaire class.” American democracy is in peril, Bernie explained, because the Supreme Court opened the floodgates and let billionaires spend unlimited sums to buy elections. The Koch brothers alone are planning a nearly $1 billion campaign in 2016, a bigger budget than either of the major political parties. |
