President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." -Franklin D. Roosevelt
Senator Bernie Sanders
"This country does in fact have a serious
deficit problem. But the reality is that the deficit was caused by two
wars — unpaid for. It was caused by huge tax breaks for the wealthiest
people in this country. It was caused by a recession as a result of the
greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on Wall Street. And if those
are the causes of the deficit, I will be damned if we’re going to
balance the budget on the backs of the elderly, the sick, the children,
and the poor. That’s wrong." — Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Senate Budget Committee, Nov. 18, 2011

| "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."—Elizabeth Warren, (D) MA - Senate Candidate |
