opposite and i will do something. my name is george. i am unemployed and i live with my parents. [ laughter ] i am victoria. hi. [ laughter ] it was a shot in the dark, 50 years ago and joe biden first ran for senate. he was a 29-year-old outsider, no experience, no money and he was losing his hair. somehow the media dubbed him as the next jfk. biden s run reminded everyone of cam let. he was young and he got the ideas and he wanted to fight the little guys. politicians are all corrupt. i wonder if he ll say to us since it is clear that you are not corrupt and you got elected, why should people think that the system produces corrupt results when there you are. well, i am not sure if you should assume i am not corrupt. thank you for that. the system does produce corruption and i think implicit in the system is corruption when whether or not you can run with public office. it costs a great deal of money to run for senate. you have to go to those people who have money.
