Martin O'Malley Class Quotations

Our parents and grandparents understood this truth deeply. They believed - as we do - that to create jobs, a modern economy requires modern investments: educating, innovating and rebuilding for our children's future. Building an economy to last, from the middle class up, not from the billionaires down.

The answers to feeding hungry children is not fewer dollars to feed hungry children, it's to do more. It is to raise the minimum wage. It is to increase, not dismantle, the earned income tax credit. It is to make college more affordable for more middle class families, not more expensive. These are the things that grow our middle class.

I'm not for the sort of trade deals that hollow out our standards while they hollow out our middle class and middle class wages.

A stronger middle class is not the consequence of economic growth. A stronger middle class is the cause of economic growth.

Romney economics would spell disaster for America's middle class. In this economy there are shipbuilders and ship wreckers.
