Anti-corporation sentiments flourished at Gravity Lounge on Sunday afternoon, where White House hopeful Ralph Nader stopped by on his independent presidential campaign tour.

“[Corporations] were never designed to rule us,” said Nader, who first appeared on the presidential ballot in 2000. “They were designed to be our servants, now they have become our masters.”

Speaking for roughly 45 minutes, the candidate presented 12 “on the table” issues that he said neither mainstream-party hopeful, Republican Sen. John McCain and Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, has addressed.

Among those were cutting the military budget, adopting single-payer national health insurance, completely reversing the United States’ policy in the Middle East, impeaching President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and cracking down on corporate crime and welfare.

Nader added that several previous U.S. political parties — Populists, Greenbacks and the National Woman’s Party — brought about many of the rights that currently exist, though they never won a national election.
