"I think one of the problems that we have when we just focus on deficit reduction, as significant an issue as it is, we lose the broad context of what is happening in this country."

"According to an August 2008 GAO report, two out of every three corporations in the United States paid no Federal income taxes between 1998 and 2005."

"What I found astonishing, is that 82 Fortune 500 companies in America paid 'zero or less in Federal income taxes in at least 1 year from 2001 to 2003.'"

"The United States has 50 million people without any health insurance. We are the only country in the industrialized world that does not provide health care to all people."
