Education should be a right, not a privilege. We need a revolution in the way that the United States funds higher education.

The main problem of America is that you're seeing people working all over this country two jobs, they're working three jobs, and they're getting nowhere in a hurry. They're working hard. They can't afford to send their kids to college in many instances. They can't afford child care for their little babies. They're worried to death about retirement.

It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.

Wall Street has enormous power over the Republican Party, enormous power over the Democratic Party.

The light bulb going off in my head was a fear that in this pivotal moment in history, when America faces so many serious problems, when the middle class and working class of this country are being decimated, that there were not voices out there representing the tens of millions of people who needed a voice. And the idea of going through a campaign where there is not a serious discussion about the most important issues facing America, where there are not voices out there representing people who are hurting - that seemed to me unacceptable.

Rich get richer. Everyone else gets poorer. And all these guys can talk about is war and defunding Planned Parenthood.

Any idiot, especially one who is prepared to die, who has a gun, can start shooting up people.
