"Bagaimana mungkin suatu proses bisa demokratis ketika datang dengan uang? Jika ada uang maka bisa dipilih seorang senator, itu bisa dipilih seorang wakil. Tahukah Anda berapa biaya untuk terpilih menjadi presiden Amerika Serikat? Jumlahnya telah mencapai, miliaran dolar, 2 miliar, 3 miliar, 4 miliar dolar, itulah biaya kampanye presiden. Berapa biaya kampanye senator? Harganya 80 hingga 90 juta dolar; atau kampanye perwakilan, 40 hingga 50 juta. Apakah itu benar-benar demokrasi?"
