That means redistribution, and rich people don't like to hear that. This administration simply won't hear of it…” quote by Raj Patel

“I definitely think the price of food is going up. We need to figure out ways to manage that in a sustainable way. We have to figure out ways of increasing wages so people can afford it. That means redistribution, and rich people don't like to hear that. This administration simply won't hear of it. But without it, I fear even more Americans will be going hungry in the future.”
