I always supported the women I worked with having time off to go to parent-teacher conferences and doctors' appointments or bringing their infants into the office. I'm a huge supporter of on-site child care. You need much more sensitivity in the workplace to the challenges young women go through in trying to do two very difficult jobs well.

I don't think most Americans understand that, for certain very wealthy people, our federal income tax system is a subsidy system that makes them richer.

It is important to recognize the limited ability of the legal system to prescribe and enforce the quality of social arrangements.

It is time for us to say no, we are not going to backwards, we're going forward into a brighter future.

If you were an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it's all the fault of Wall Street, you can't sit idly by and do nothing, but what you do is really important.

What I have proposed would be paid for by raising taxes on the wealthy, because they have made all the gains in the economy.

In this world and the world of tomorrow, we must go forward together or not at all.
