On Energy & Oil: Deadline for climate change isn't 2050, it's 2020

Let's be real about the deadline. It's not 2050, it's not 2040, it's not 2030. It's 2020. Because if we don't elect a president who actually believes in climate science now, we will never meet any of the other scientific or policy deadlines that we need to. We need leadership to make this a national project that breaks down the partisan and political tug of war that prevents anything from getting done.

On Principles & Values: We can accomplish goals without polarization

The vision I'm putting forward has the support of the American people. We can actually deliver health care without taking it away from anyone. We can actually empower workers and lift wages without further polarizing this country. And we can build a movement without having legions of our supporters online and in person attacking Democratic figures and union leaders alike.

On Tax Reform: The American Dream [is collapsing except in] Denmark

I think that employee ownership of companies is a great idea. I'm not sure it makes sense to command those companies to do it. If we really want to deliver less inequality in this country, then we've got to start with the tax code and we've got to start with investments in how people are able to live the American dream, which is in serious decline. Number one place to live out the American dream right now is Denmark.
