So unions and working people spent decades fighting for a fair work week.

The 40-hour work week was intended to ensure that workers, no matter their occupation, had time for rest.

Our laws should afford dignity for every worker, and when companies try to get around those laws, we need to strengthen the laws.

Employers can change someone's schedule without any prior notice.

Well, I see what you are trying to do with the language about who is originating.

I think what you are saying to me is the OCC will be tough on banks.

The idea of protecting borrowers from usury dates back to the Code of Hammurabi, to the Bible, to the Koran...

Under your rule, if a payday lender arranges a loan for a consumer, it is subject to State usury laws.

Under the previous Administration, banking regulators wrote rules the way the banking industry wanted, created loophole after loophole for bad actors, and put the interests of the wealthy and the powerful ahead of families and small…

The new rule you have put in place says let us look at the paperwork, and if the bank's name is on the paper, that is what is going to control.

I will go to bat for the wealth tax with any and all businessmen who want to tell you that it impinges on the American dream.

I'm disappointed that Mr. Cooperman decided he was more comfortable taking softball questions on cable news than subjecting his views to debate in the U.S. Senate.

A wealth tax raises more revenue from those most able to afford it than just about any other plan on the table.

Well, these taxes would raise as much as $6 trillion that we can pour right back into communities and families all around this country.

Fixing the income tax system is hard, but urgently needed.

Based on fact, the wealthiest in this country are paying less in taxes than everyone else.
