And heres why. Because together we can break down all the barriers holding our families and our country back. We can build ladders of opportunity and empowerment. So every single American can have that chance to live up to his or her God-given potential. And then, and only then, can America live up to its full potential, too. (snip)
"Today, too many people at the top, too many corporations have forgotten this basic truth about what makes America great. Prescription drug companies that increase the price of
drugs for no reason than greed and then double and triple bills overnight. Corporations that use shell games to shift their headquarters overseas for no other reason than to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Companies like Johnson Controls, an auto parts company in Wisconsin, that we taxpayers helped to save with the auto rescue in 2008.
"Now, let there be no doubt in any board room or executive suite across this country, if you cheat your employees, exploit your customers, pollute our environment or rip off the taxpayers, we will hold you accountable. If you turn your back on America, youll pay a price. But if you do the right thing, if you invest in your workers and in your countrys future, then we will stand with you. Now, together, we have to break down all the barriers. Not just some. Its important that Wall Street never threaten Main Street again; no bank can be too big to fail, and no executive too powerful to jail. But America isnt a single issue country, my friends. We need more than a plan for the biggest banks. The middle class needs a raise."
