Michael Moore: “The real agenda item is what everyone is going through, the lack of jobs, the reduced income, reduced sick days, no health insurance… these are all now going to be the issues.”
Keith and activist/filmmaker Michael Moore discuss how the Occupy movement takes issue with both Democrats and Republicans for accepting campaign contributions from the same companies responsible for the recession. “These politicians by and large are bought and paid for by the same people.” Moore suspects that if any political candidates at the local level told the people they would not take Wall Street contributions, they would garner more votes. Moore calls on both Dems and the GOP to “get on board” with the Occupy movement “or get out of the way.”
