America has seen enough of a handful of people growing rich at the cost of our nation descending into economic crisis.

We cannot afford to leave the poor behind.

There's a wealth gap that is happening, and that is all over the world, you know? The rich are getting richer and holding a higher percentage of money or wealth that's out there.

There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.

The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.

Our family's fortune is growing faster than ever. We're a part of a small number of American families that own most of the country's wealth. But having so much in the hands of so few can't be good for America.

A lot of wealthy people, they don't realize they have the alternatives of spending the money for good.

We can't afford as a nation - not because of money but because of our social fabric - to have large numbers of people who are not working.

Unfortunately, in a recession, the people who suffer the most aren't the rich, but the wanna-be rich and the poor.

Every country has rich people. But only a few places have achieved a vibrant and stable middle class. And in the history of the world, none has been more vibrant and more stable than the American middle class.
