The independent presidential hopeful Ralph Nader is in New York this week to promote a campaign to open the presidential debates to third party candidates. Speaking on Fox News, Nader also announced a rally tomorrow against the Wall Street bailout.
Ralph Nader: “Right now, people, working people, go into a store, and they pay six percent sales tax for necessities of life. A $100 million buy on a derivative of Exxon tomorrow, they don’t pay a cent sales tax. McCain and Obama have no guts. You know, they may have political courage in some ways, military courage, but they don’t have the moral courage, which is why we’re going to have a big rally on Wall Street October 16th of taxpayers, investors, pensioners and workers to confront Wall Street and, apropos Reagan and Berlin, we’re going to say, 'Tear down that wall.'”
Nader has been invited to take part in a third party presidential candidate debate this Sunday at New York’s Columbia University.
