I want to say something, and it may sound harsh, not to you, but to the american people. in a sense, in my view, the business model of wall street is fraud. it's fraud. i believe that corruption is rampant, and the fact that major bank after major bank has reached multi billion dollar settlements with the united states government when we have a weak regulator system tells me that not only did we have to bail them out once, if we don't start breaking them up, we're going to have to bail them out again, and i do not want to see that happen.

More From Bernie Sanders

I heard governor romney here called me an economic lightweight because i wasn't a wall street financier like he was. do you really believe this country wants to elect a wall street financier as the president of the united states? do you think that's the experience that we need? someone who's going to take and look after as he did his friends on wall street and bail them out at the expense of main street america.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

We've got the emphasis on the wrong syllable when it comes to crime in this country. the fbi says burglary and robbery cost u.s. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. securities fraud alone costs four times that. and securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. no three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. remember the s&l scandal? $500 billion.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

The whole financial structure of wall street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the federal reserve bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice. why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. but you let wall street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.
Country Wall Fall
We believe that our truly urgent need is to make our nation secure, our economy strong and our dollar sound. for every american this matter of the sound dollar is crucial. without a sound dollar, every american family would face a renewal of inflation, an ever-increasing cost of living, the withering away of savings and life insurance policies.

Should there be anyone who feels he is too weak to do better because of that greatest of fears, the fear of failure, there is no more comforting assurance to be had than the words of the lord: 'my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will i make weak things become strong unto them' (ether 12:27)
