"While a number of us here want to see a more redistributive, a more progressive Social Security system, it does lead us to not want to means-test upper-income people."

"And with the erosion of unions and the minimum wage together, we lead the world in the creation of low-wage jobs."

"We need to make sure they have access to a retirement account in some way, shape, or form."

"That does nothing to redistribute money to lower levels; it just, quote-unquote, 'fixes Social Security' by taking a little from the upper-income."
