At a time when the middle class is disappearing.

The working class in this country has taken it on the chin.

We have got a severely imbalanced political economy.

There is a reason why the rich get richer and so many other people are becoming poorer, and that is not just economic decisions but those are political decisions as well.

We need to guarantee and do what every other major country on Earth does, and that is to guarantee health care to all people as a human right.

Nobody who works 40 hours a week should live in poverty, and that living wage should be at least 15 bucks an hour.

The simple truth is that today in America the very, very rich are getting much richer, while tens of millions of working-class Americans are struggling to put food on the table and take care of their basic needs.

I think you will see not only what the values of the parties are, but I think you will also see which economic philosophy actually produces more good for American society

We are going to talk about the obscenity of the 50 wealthiest Americans now owning more wealth than the bottom half of our society.

Repealing the estate tax would only benefit the top one-tenth of 1 percent who inherit over $11.7 million.

Today we are going to be talking about what it means morally and economically when one person in this country, the wealthiest person in the world, Jeff Bezos, has become $77 billion richer during this horrific pandemic.

We need to make it easier for workers to join unions, not harder.

Clearly, I think our goal is to create a Nation where the economy works for all people and not just the very few.

the Democratic proposal is to spread it more evenly with a little bit more focus on the lowest-earning Americans; the Republican philosophy is to concentrate benefits at the top

Incredibly, if income inequality had remained the same as it was in 1975, the average worker in America would be making $42,000 more today than he or she is earning.

I do not believe that we should be giving more tax breaks to the rich.

The issue we`re dealing with is will the Democratic Party, and we`re off to a really good start, have the courage to address the crises facing the American people even if it means taking on the big money interest.

It shows that, in fact, not only can government respond to the crises and the pain that people are feeling.
