“I’ll say it, it’s rigged in favor of me and my children. And so I used to spend a lot of time unrigging, trying to unrig it. My attitude now is, ‘No, I want to keep it rigged. I’m just going to rig it for you against the powerful interests. It’s going to stay rigged, but we’re going to rig it on behalf of the working class, the middle class of America that struggle every day against great odds and great headwinds.’”
— Rahm Emanuel, in an interview with the Washington Examiner .
