2019 Town Hall: on Corporations


Cory Booker: You can't separate corporate corruption from other issues

If I am your president, all of these issues--corporate corruption, campaign finance, agriculture, environmental justice--all of these things are interrelated. You can't separate them out. And so I'm going to be the president [who says], "when we talk about healthcare, let's not just talk about doctors and nurses. Let's talk about healthy food systems and the toxins that are in our food." I'll always be about the freedom to eat what you want, but we are going to have to make sure our government is not subsidizing the things that make us sick and unhealthy and hurt our environment. And then start to incentivize the practices that get farming and get agriculture and get the health of our communities back. We need to especially be looking at communities that are low income and vulnerable and investing in those communities so that they can have health and wellbeing as well.
