"They don't want the whole pie," she told the women. "There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach."
"If we don't wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership...for how we want this country to work, then we won't get universal health care," she said.
"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.

Obama's campaign Web site reads, "Obama will protect tax cuts for poor and middle class families, but he will reverse most of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers."
"Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress."
"Obama will raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing."

"Well, obviously, race is still an important factor in our society. There is still discrimination. There’s still barriers to opportunity. But I think what’s important to note is that Dr. King went down to Memphis as part of the poor people’s movement and recognized the link between economic justice and racial justice. But on the economic front, we just found out-- that last month, we lost 80,000 jobs, over 200,000 so far this year. And so often that is just disproportionately impacting African American and Latinos.
Having an agenda that ensures economic justice, that everybody can get paid a decent wage and find a job. That part of Dr. King’s dream has not yet been achieved. And I think has to be one of the challenges to America in the coming decades."
Bill Clinton
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is.
