We're not going to give tax breaks to billionaires and then cut back on the needs of our elderly or poor or kids or education. we're not going to privatize social security - in fact, we're going to strengthen it. we're going to provide quality education for every kid in america, from preschool through college. we have to take on these corporate leaders who are selling out the american people, whose allegiance is now much more to china than it is to the united states. if we have the courage to take these people on, i think we can overwhelm george w. bush and his friends.

Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.
