If elected president of the United States, we`re going to do everything that we can to rebuild the trade union movement in this country.

It is just extraordinary, Chris. Imagine that after $1 trillion of tax breaks to large corporations, to lowering the corporate tax rate, after protecting the pharmaceutical industry from charging us by far the highest prices in the world…

We have got to be extremely aggressive. I can’t think of any more issue, any issue more important than making sure that Americans can vote and participate in the political process.

Some of my Republican colleagues have decided that what we should do is give massive, massive tax breaks to the very, very wealthiest families in America.
