"This trend of increasing inequality is diminishing not only our economic strength but also our working families' trust in our political system."

"This is a very huge predatory practice that as a society you would think that we would be able to get control over, but we do not have control over it yet."

"the only reason that we do not do that and that that kind of reform cannot come through the Senate at this moment is the money in politics problem."
