There's nothing inherently or patently wrong with anybody who does well, works hard, earns a living, betters themselves. I'm not against any of these things. It's about how you make that money, and then what you do with it.

I don't like to sit around whining about the corporate media, how they control everything, own everything. We already know that.

Bush's presidency is revisionism-proof. We're going to be recovering from it for the rest of our lives.

Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call 'the dark side,' and greed is one of them. If you don't put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control.

If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible, which I do, including dental, and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism, that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy, so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.

I'm the kind of person that believes there's a part of your voting that has to be purely on principle, and there's a part that has to be on strategy.

Most people don't see themselves as Democrats or Republicans. They see themselves as Americans.
