"I think we all realize that we live in a time where corporate profits and income and equality are higher than they have ever been."

"We are about to pass a tax bill that's going to continue to make the rich richer and the poor poorer."

"So you need us to act. OK. That's No. 1."

"Tell me what the economic benefit, if you know, would be if we reduce benefits to a level that people can't even live on."
