Presidential hopeful Ralph Nader rallied a crowd of about 200 people Wednesday night, telling them to pay close attention to the power of large corporations, compare U.S. health care to the rest of the civilized world and hold government accountable for the failure during Hurricane Katrina.”I want you, by the time this is over, to be different people,” Nader said to a crowd of applauding supporters, skeptics and naysayers at the School of Music.The media makes the prospect of a 2008 presidential win unrealistic, Nader said.”If you can’t get on the debate, you can’t reach tens of millions of people, and you can’t get that many votes,” the 74 year-old independent candidate said.Nader, who has officially run for the presidency three previous times, said 15 percent of young adults polled support him, but he fears they have fallen victim of “Obama mania.””We have in this country problems we do not deserve and solutions we do not want,” he said.Nader said the response to Katrina was a failure of the two institutions controlling the U.S. — big business and big government.”Every major religion going back 2,000 years warned its adherents not to give too much power to the merchant class,” Nader said. “Because it’s so single-minded that when it confronts human rights and civic values … it undermines them.”More than 18,000 people die in the U.S. each year because of the lack of universal health care compared to zero people in countries with universal health care, Nader said.”Ralph Nader has just as much good to say as [Barack] Obama,” said Paolo Roy, mass communication senior. “I hope some day that the U.S. will have a multi-party system.”—–Contact Lindsey Meaux at [email protected]
