John Conyers actually said...

"I would like to ask you all about the economic reality of income inequality in America, the wealthiest country on the planet."

"According to the Congressional Budget Office, Medicare and Medicaid alone made up 40 percent of all mandatory spending in the last fiscal year."

"This is a continuation of a decades-old line of attack by conservatives on America's longstanding commitments to aid the elderly and the poor."

"this is not even taking into consideration the rather great improvement in the differences of income inequality because of collective bargaining"
