“In America, if we are going to be successful in taking on the billionaire class, we need a strong grassroots movement,” he additionally told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”

Sanders argued Wall Street’s reach extended beyond any one White House hopeful. The Vermont lawmaker’s remarks came as he weighs his own Oval Office bid next election cycle.

“It’s not just Hillary Clinton,” Sanders argued. “It’s not a question of running against Hillary Clinton or challenging Hillary Clinton.”

“What we are seeing over the last 40 years is the disappearance of America’s middle class,” he continued.

“I think there is a lot of discontent from ordinary people out there that the system is stacked against them,” Sanders concluded.

Sanders vowed he would make corporate accountability a key part of his campaign should he seek the executive mansion. That decision, he added, would come soon.

“I would not run unless I thought I could win,” Sanders claimed.

“I think corporate America has to invest its billions and create jobs here,” he argued. “I think that is the fight we have to wage if we are going to save the middle class.”

Clinton publicly announced her 2016 bid on April 12. She joined GOP Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rand Paul (Ky.) as official candidates next election cycle.

Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) also entered the Republican side of the contest on April 13.
