Tom Harkin actually said...

"For the first time in history the majority of Americans believe their kids will have fewer opportunities than they had."

"The American dream used to mean something, that if you put in a hard days work you could expect good American wages, decent benefits and a better life for your kids."

"Today we are in danger of losing that dream and our middle class."

"That is what I kind of resent is how it has become political."
