Chapter 220 Stakeholders

"Dean, we need to take America back from the clutches of Washington's corruption, ambitionists, and the alliance of campaign consultants."

"Look at the Washington and Capitol Hill now, filled with all kinds of scandals; look, they're giving themselves a hefty raise again this year."

"If this continues, America's politics and laws will only serve the rich. We should make those wealthy special interest groups step aside!"

Jerry Brown's passionate declamation not only failed to pique Dean's interest but made him even more drowsy sitting on the sofa.
