Ralph Nader is a national hero. His presidential run in 2000 was the catalyst for revolutionary change in the U.S. This 2000 speech given to his hometown audience was prophetic. He described exactly what would become of the Democratic Party today as it morphed into the Corporate Controlled Twin of the Republican Party. Today the two parties are completely dominated by corporate donations and special interests, which have left Americans in a corporate controlled fascist state, with income inequality and loss of middle class jobs and decline of unions , resulting in the gutting of wages and benefits for the average American. 80% of all economic gains in the last 30 years have been gained by the top 20% of Americans, and the vast majority of that wealth lies in the hands of the top 1% .
This speech was also spoken in sign language for the hearing impaired, as I filmed the Signer who stood on stage during the speech. I hope it will inspire many to hear this historic speech by Ralph Nader.
