If our payment system and the flow of our currency is distorted by this, that is a real harm to consumers, and not just to their privacy but to the options that they have.

We have a chance to say, Jeff Bezos, you and the other 700 billionaires are actually going to have to kick in some money on this.

He pays less in federal income taxes than the average Boston public school teacher. That is a system that is rigged.

I feel a lot of hope that we're really going to get good things done for the American people. I'm optimistic about that.

I'm feeling optimistic. I think we've made really good progress.

We've always said that this is basically one big package, and we recognize that we're going to be multiple votes in this, so that the roads and bridges made it in one set of votes.

It basically means the United States Senate is finally catching up to the rest of America. You know, the overwhelming majority of Americans want to see us put a fair tax on the billionaires.

Democrats understand that what the American people have known for a long time, and that is that the tax system is rigged, and letting these giant profitable companies get away with paying nothing has to come to an end.

I think we've got a very good chance on that. I talked about it today with all of my colleagues, but I've been doing this for a long time now.

The proposal is to fix the Amazon problem. Remember how Amazon declared $10 billion in profits, publicly told shareholders that, and then turned around and told the I.R.S., but not you, paid zero in taxes.

Democrats in both chambers face growing pressure, including a key election next week to finally wrap it up.

Everything at this point including criminal charges is on the table.

We need to find out what kind they were.

As Democrats it is important for us not only to have a package of the things we want to get done like universal child care, and universal preschool, and expanded health care, and fighting back against climate change, but also that we pay…

We need to break up Facebook to save our democracy.

The reason we need to break up Facebook is that it`s critically important that there not be one worldwide company that basically has all of the information from everyone.

Two years ago, I really thought we needed to break up Facebook. Today, I really, really, really think we need to break up Facebook.

We can also help make the system a little fairer.

Right now, billionaire individuals and billionaire, profitable corporations are paying either little or nothing in taxes, and that is wrong.

It`s not only what they`re doing out of the marketplace, it`s what they`re doing to Washington.

It will be a tough fight, but my money`s on them.

The problem in America right now with billionaires is that they don’t pay taxes the way everybody else does.

A wealth tax is a whole lot fairer than what we have right now.

The only way we’re going to hold them accountable is to break them up.
