Let's stop for a second and remember where we were eight years ago [in 2008]. We had the worst financial crisis, the Great Recession, the worst since the 1930s. That was in large part because of tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy, failed to invest in the middle class, took their eyes off of Wall Street, and created a perfect storm.

My vision of America is an America where everyone has a place, if you're willing to work hard, you do your part, you contribute to the community.

Now, I will say, most American companies - most are run by honorable patriotic people who care about their employees and communities. But there are still too many powerful interests fighting to protect their own profits and privileges at the expense of everyone else.

I'm fighting for people who cannot wait for changes, and I'm not making promises that I cannot keep.

I want to go after the pharmaceutical companies like Valeant, and Turns that are increasing prices without any regard to the impact on people's health.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

We do always have to make sure we keep people safe.
