"The message is very simple: economic equality. Corporate greed and how it ruins people's lives. Corporate greed is not just one specific thing, corporate greed is attached to our health care system, it's attached to our prison system, it's attached to our involvement in all of these wars, it's attached to the mortgage and housing crisis, it's attached to almost every part of our lives. So when you see one sign saying "Sallie Mae are crooks for putting people in college debt" and then you see another sign that says "Mortgage is fraud" some people are going to say, 'Well is this about mortgage fraud or college loan default, you guys don't know what you're talking about'. But we do know what we're talking about, it's one thing that controls all these different things.

They say that we're engaging in class warfare by having this march, right? Yet college tuition is $100,000. What you're telling me is that only people who can afford $100,000 deserve an education so how is that not class warfare? If poor people cannot afford to go to college, you're telling me that poor people don't deserve an education. That's class warfare. If you cannot afford health insurance, how is that not class warfare? Show me the money or you die- that's class warfare. You can put that in almost every aspect of our lives, we have some type of class warfare that's on us from them. But as soon as we gather up together and say 'We don't like this shit anymore' then it's like, "You guys are engaging in class warfare. You want to take all our money.' No one actually wants anything from them, we just want equality in the laws, which I don't think can exist. We need some type of reform, some type of revolution. It's so cliché, everyone throws the word around so much, but we need to change our voting system, we need to change something completely. It may take a million people in the street but that's the only way we're really going to get a change."
