In the United States of America is it not true that we can put a person on the moon?

The law ought to apply to Wells Fargo just as it applied to that welfare recipient.

The evidence speaks for itself. I have an article styled, '35 bankers were sent to prison for financial crisis crimes.'

The lowest-paid workers in banks are women and people of color. The highest-paid disproportionately, in both cases, are white men.

We need a bill of rights for the workers within the banks.

That shocks my conscience, to be very honest. It does. Sickness and vacation are totally antithetical.

If we had had stronger whistleblower protections, I do believe someone would have reported this circumstance and we wouldn't be sitting here today.

It seems that they are not only too-big-to-fail; they are also too-big-to-jail.

Workers need a living wage. All workers in banks should have a living wage.

No one has gone to jail. It is true that the CEOs of the too-big-to-fail banks have thus far been too-big-to-jail.

I thank the chairperson, and the ranking member as well, for bringing this legislation to the floor today. I also thank the majority leader, who happens to be in the room. Madam Speaker, this piece of legislation is more than 100 years in…

I think $15-an-hour is not enough as a minimum wage. I think it ought to be at least $20 now, but I will still settle for $15 if we can get that.

Let's have a study to determine what impact a $15-an-hour minimum wage will have on the economy.

The fundamentals are strong, yet nearly half, 42.4 percent, of working Americans in 2019 made less than $15 an hour.

A good many of the people in my Congressional district... are more concerned about the supermarket prices than the stock market.

I am greatly honored to support this piece of legislation, especially honored that Chairwoman Lowey has put language in there that will streamline the process that Mr. Hoyer helped to develop. I would just like to add this. I know what it…

This hearing will examine a problem referred to as astroturfing, which is the practice of creating the false appearance of grassroots support for a particular policy or position where none exists.

the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is, as Congressman Meeks described it, at its core, a civil rights law.

And still I rise, Mr. Speaker, and I rise today because I have a question. I have a question for posterity. I have a question for those who reside and dwell within the Senate. I have a question, but I also have a predicate for the…
