Elizabeth Warren: ‘Yes,’ I Believe Democracy Is at Risk

‘We have an America that works better and better for the rich’

HOST: "Do you believe that our democracy is at risk?"
WARREN: "Yes, I do. Yes, I do, but understand again, Mark, our democracy has been at risk for a long time now. Because when we have an America that works better and better for the rich, why do you think that's so? It's because they have figured out how to control the levers of power. Think about it this way. Who do you think is making the big campaign contributions? Who is hiring the armies of lobbyists and lawyers, the bought-and-paid-for experts funding the think tanks, getting the PR firms out there? And why? So they can just keep moving those decisions."
