We wish to control big business so as to secure among other things good wages for the wage-workers and reasonable prices for the consumers.

The values that we share - freedom of speech, freedom of religious practice, freedom for civil society, free and fair elections, all the innovation that's been created through a market-based economy - those things are ultimately going to be the path for us to continue into a better future.
