"The next time you hear me attacked as a socialist—like
tomorrow—remember this: I don’t believe government should take over the
grocery store down the street or own the means of production, but I do
believe that the middle class and the working families of this country
who produce the wealth of this country deserve a decent standard of
living and that their incomes should go up, not down.
"I do believe in private companies that thrive and invest and grow in
America, companies that create jobs here rather than companies that are
shutting down in America and increasing their profits by exploiting
low-wage labor abroad.
"I believe that most Americans can pay lower taxes if hedge fund
managers who make billions manipulating the marketplace finally start
paying the taxes that they should.
"I don't believe in special treatment for the top 1 percent, but I do
believe in equal treatment for African Americans who are right to
proclaim the moral principle that Black Lives Matter.
"I despise appeals to nativism and prejudice of which we have been
hearing a lot in recent months, and I do believe in immigration reform
that gives Hispanics and others a pathway to citizenship and a better
life"
