Larry Lessig Reaches Funding Goal and Is Running For President

Posted by samzenpus on from the going-to-washington dept.

LetterRip writes: Lessig has met his funding goal of one million dollars, and thus is committed to run for President. ABC reports: "After exceeding his $1 million crowd-funding goal, Harvard Law School professor Larry Lessig announced today on “This Week” that he is running for president. 'I think I'm running to get people to acknowledge the elephant in the room,' he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. 'We have to recognize -- we have a government that does not work. The stalemate, partisan platform of American politics in Washington right now doesn't work.'”

    “I think I'm running to get people to acknowledge the elephant in the room,” he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

    Was Trump in the room with him? And does he really need more attention than he's getting now?

    Trump wants to dramatically change tax policy and start taxing the uber-wealthy.

    So, you don't know bullshit when you hear it, do you?
