Breaks my heart. This is the only candidate out there that was unapologetic in his support for the American working family's interests over the interests of the corporatacracy (sp?). When someone charged that he would not be able to work with big business, his answer was that was upside down. They would have to work with him. He didn't see the point in the welfare program for corporations that included holding States and municipalities hostage for portions of the sales tax, subsidizing already profitable businesses at the expense of local services, or any of the other programs that benefitted profitable corporations to the detriment of the average citizen. He is alarmed at the increasing centralization of capital in fewer and fewer hands, and the increasing gap between the richest and the poorest.

Middle class America needs to abandon the opiate of who makes them "feel" more secure, and look at what is happening to them with a clear eye. Just as more and more mortgages these days are upside down, so it is with the working class. Under the guise of "It's the American way" they are putting more and more money in fewer and fewer pockets. They have been sold out and discarded, as the corporate interests pursue the emerging marketplace that is China.

I felt like he was the right one to start the long journey back.
