Elizabeth Warren

We should be closing tax loopholes and havens and ensuring that corporations, which are at an all-time high in profitability, are sharing some of that revenue.

I wish to commend all of the incredible work that the Senator from Michigan has done on the ``fair shot'' agenda, how she really has been out there working hard for families across this country. For middle-class families, for working…

If we cannot count on CEOs and senior management to reinvest at least some of the corporate profits in their workers like they used to, what steps should the Government take to fill that void?

Congress could pass, for example, the Employee Free Choice Act and make sure that there is more collective bargaining power in our economy.

Thank you very much for having this hearing, for pulling together such an illustrious panel.

We now have two decades of hard evidence disproving that theory.

reserving the right to object, I thank the Senator from Texas for his remarks. As I stated previously, there are 58 Senators who have supported moving forward to debate this bill. But it has not passed the Senate because of a Republican…

what is dysfunctional is a Republican filibuster of a bill on which 58 Senators want to move forward and debate. Allowing an unlimited number of amendments on any topic, going on forever, is not a reasonable way forward. We want to be able…

I have to say, and to think about what it would mean if that million workers made $5 more an hour in terms of what they could buy elsewhere in the economy.

Congress could stop giving preferential treatment to this kind of income, to wealth income--stocks and dividends--over work.

This is a topic we need to talk about--we need to do more than talk about; we need to do some things about.

Fighting epidemics in developing countries presents unique challenges.

The global response to Ebola underscores the need for well-functioning and effective health and public health systems across the world.

I believe that public companies should not be able to spend huge sums of shareholder money on political communication without informing investors.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

I am pleased to have joined Chairman Harkin in introducing the Schedules that Work Act.

I rise today to support an independent constitutional amendment offered by Senator Udall of New Mexico which would restore to Congress and the States the authority to rein in the enormous sums of money that are flooding into our political…

I hope to continue to work with Senator Harkin to advance our bill so that some flexibility and some sensibleness is appropriate and available to all workers in the case of trying to make reasonable schedules.

Thank you for your willingness to serve and thank you, in particular, for your willingness to serve at the NLRB so that we can have a Board that fairly represents the people of this country.

Thank you for holding this hearing allowing me to be here today.

Yet, despite the misconduct at these banks that generated tens of billions of dollars in settlement payments by the companies, not a single senior executive at these banks has been criminally prosecuted.

So, no one should be above the law. If you steal a hundred bucks on Main Street, you are probably going to jail. If you steal a billion bucks on Wall Street, you darn well better go to jail, too.

So, we are not going to be back here a year from now having this same conversation again.

I believe that conflicts of interest, or the appearance thereof, should not undermine the SEC's critical work enforcing our securities laws.

The President of the United States asked you to serve your country by joining the NLRB, and your first appointment was consistent with this long, bipartisan tradition of recess appointments.
