The core principle is that we want an economy that works for everyone, not just for a small elite. We want equal opportunity, not equality of outcome. We want to make sure that there's upward mobility again, in our society and in our economy.

We used to be so proud that our country offered far more economic opportunities than the feudal system in Great Britain, with its royal family, princesses and dukes. But social mobility in the UK is higher than in the US. Our social rift is as big as it was in the 1920s.

America has become the most unequal society among advanced countries, and rich people are now free to spend as much money on political campaigns as they wish.

You can't create a political movement out of pabulum.

The problem right now is jobs. The problem right now is the economy and economic growth.

Standing up to bullies is the hallmark of a civilized society.

America's real business leaders understand unless or until the middle class regains its footing and its faith, capitalism remains vulnerable.
