We have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women's work.

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.

You show people what you're willing to fight for when you fight your friends.

I want us to invest in you.

I have, ever since the first day of my campaign, called for criminal justice reform.

I think it's important to look at what we need to do to get the economy going again. That's why I said new jobs with rising incomes, investments, not in more tax cuts that would add $5 trillion to the debt.

I don't think that strategically it is smart to begin cutting your options when the other side does not move at all.
