"Tonight -- tonight, I want to talk about the future of possibilities that we can build together -- a future where the days of trickle-down economics are over and the wealthy and the biggest corporations no longer get the -- all the tax breaks. And, by the way, I understand corporations. I come from a state that has more corporations invested than every one of your states in the state -- the United States combined. And I represented it for 36 years. I'm not anti-corporation. But I grew up in a home where trickle-down economics didn't put much on my dad's kitchen table. That's why I'm determined to turn things around so the middle class does well. When they do well, the poor have a way up and the wealthy still do very well. We all do well. And there's more to do to make sure you're feeling the benefits of all we're doing"
