There are no "human" oppressors. Oppressors have lost their humanity.

Are we happy that 99% of all new income is going to the top 1%? Are we happy that one family in this country owns more than the bottom 130 million people?

There must be a guarantee that people receive what they need in order to live a dignified life.

We are living in a world where greed has become for the wealthiest people their own religion, and they make no apologies for it.

We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history.
