More quotes by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
We do not have free market capitalism in America we have crony capitalism. There is a huge difference between free market capitalism that democratizes a country and makes us more efficient and prosperous and corporate crony capitalism.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
We're not protecting the environment for the sake of the fishes and the birds. We're protecting it for our own sake.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
We need election reform because our elections are being stolen. And these huge powerful voting machine vending companies have privatized the election process in our country.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The Republicans are 90% corrupt, and the Democrats are 50% corrupt.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Like other Americans, I've reconciled myself to the idea that an animal's life has been sacrificed to bring me a meal of pork or chicken. However, industrial meat production - which subjects animals to a life of torture - has escalated the karmic costs beyond reconciliation.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
One out of every six American women has so much mercury in her womb that her children are at risk for a grim inventory of diseases, including autism, blindness, mental retardation and heart, liver and kidney disease.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
We are living in a science-fiction nightmare where children are gasping for breath on bad-air days because somebody gave money to a politician. And my children and the kids of millions of other Americans can no longer go fishing and eat their catch because somebody gave money to a politician.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Sometimes it's more important to change politicians than light bulbs.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
I don't even consider myself an environmentalist anymore. I'm a free-marketer. I go out into the marketplace and I catch the polluters who are cheating the free market.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
These are facts that would make every American upset. Our birthright is being stolen, the legacy of our country is at stake, and the values of our nation are in peril. The future whispers, and the present shouts.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
It is more important to be of service than successful.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
American democracy is supposed to be the paradigm for the rest of the world, and it no longer is. Citizens cannot be guaranteed that they can walk into a voting booth with any assurance that their vote will be counted.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
I think we as Americans know there's a much better alternative than the 17th century practice of burning rocks to power our economy.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The law in the United States, in every jurisdiction until about 1876, was that if a factory put smoke into the air, even one day a year, and it got onto a neighbor's property, the neighbor had the right to enjoin to close down the factory, and the courts had no choice but to do that.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Corporations are a good thing. But corporations should not be running our government... They have driven the American economy since its founding, and the prosperity of our country is largely dependent on the free operation of corporations. But some corporations don't want free markets, and they don't want democracy. They want profits.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Most Americans don't know about environmental problems, because we have in our country a negligent and indolent press. The biggest lie that the right wing holds in our country is that there is such a thing as a liberal media. Americans are getting their news from the right-wing media.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
If we don't cut carbon's money pipeline, we will pay for their gasoline with floods, droughts, fires, super storms, drowned cities, mass extinctions, wars, and collapsing civilizations.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
We know more about Tom [Cruise] and Katie [Holmes] than we do about global warming. We're the most entertained, least informed people in the world.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Corporate polluters, their phony think tanks and political toadies like to marginalize environmentalists as tree huggers, or radicals. But there is nothing radical about clean air or water.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
You show me a polluter, I'll show you a subsidy. I'll show you a fat cat using political clout to escape the discipline of the free market and force the public to pay his production costs.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
