QUOTE — “We want to restore that basic middle-class security for our families, because we believe that folks shouldn’t go bankrupt because someone gets sick; that folks shouldn’t lose their home because someone loses a job. Not in America. We believe … that responsibility should be rewarded, that hard work should pay off. We believe that everyone should do their fair share but play by the same rules.”
