Mamdani: ‘We See America When We Spend Our Tax Dollars on Bombs and Bailouts When We Sell Our Elections for the Highest Bidder’

TRANSCRIPT:

MAMDANI: "Yes, we see America and a health insurance industry that exploits the sick, but that is not all we see when we look for America. We see it, too, in the nurse who works a double shift and then stops on her way home to check on an ailing neighbor. Yes, we see America in corporate landlords for whom negligence is a business model. We see it too in the father who tucks his children into bed beneath a ceiling stained with leaks, who wakes before dawn to go to work and still believes his country can do better by his family. Yes, we see America when we spend our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts, when we sell our elections to the highest bidder."
