This year alone the ordsprog
 I suggest to members that we're making a mistake with this budget, ... It's a $2 trillion-plus tax cut that mostly goes to the richest Americans. |
| He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him. |
| We're in the richest country in the world, and some of our neighbors are still living in poverty. No working person should have to choose between paying their rent and feeding their families. |
| Why do the rich get even richer, while regular working Americans can't even hold onto their basic health care benefits. The head of United Technologies raked in $13.4 million in total compensation and cashed out $83.6 million in stock options and he wants to ax health care for the 3,600 teamsters on strike at Sikorsky. |
| We need to fix the Bush prescription drug plan that subsidizes big pharmaceutical companies at the expense of senior citizens. We need to stop the oil companies from obscene profiteering, which reduces the standard of living for so many Americans. As usual, this Administration prescribes the same quack medicine for all our ailments: tax breaks for the richest Americans and the largest, most profitable corporations. |
| Why do the rich get even richer, while regular working Americans can't even hold onto their basic health care benefits? The head of United Technologies raked in $13.4 million in total compensation and cashed out $83.6 million in stock options -- and he wants to ax health care for the 3,600 Teamsters on strike at Sikorsky. The race to the bottom for the middle class must stop now. |
| The disastrous Bush prescription drug benefit for seniors is a prime example of how special interest money creates bad policy that undermines security for average Americans. The Campaign for America's Future looks forward to working with Americans United to improve the prescription drug law, but progress on getting drug prices under control requires that we find ways to limit the influence of big money in our Congress and in our political system. We will work for economic change - while cleaning up corruption in our democratic system that weakens the voice of average Americans. |
| Why does their proposal exclude over 100 million Americans from its limited number of protections? ... They're slicing this issue as thin as they can and hoping the American people don't see through their strategy. Why do they include a poison pill -- unlimited medical savings accounts that could make health insurance unaffordable for many Americans? Well, my guess is they really don't want legislation to pass this year. |
| Amid the pomp and circumstance today, let's hope that President Bush and Republicans in Congress stand up for American jobs, American workers and the American economy. It's time to put the needs of hard working Americans ahead of politics. Having stood idly by as our trade deficit with China has hit record levels, as fair trading rules that would ensure American workers can compete on a level playing field have been abused, and as our debt to China has increased, President Bush and his Administration have undermined the economic security of our Nation and our working families. Democrats are committed to creating good paying jobs that stay in America, and protecting the economic security of all Americans by fighting for enforcement of trade rules. |
| It's certainly possible that illegal (or legal) aliens are taking some Americans' jobs, but I am not sure those who are proposing these laws have a real handle on the magnitude of that as a problem. Frankly, I am not sure it is a significant problem. What we are aware of is that there are at least 12 million aliens working in this country and we know that today there aren't 12 million unemployed Americans waiting to replace them in those jobs if they leave the U.S. work force. |
| Current labor market estimates appear to be overstating the share of working Americans by 1.4 percentage points. This corresponds to roughly 3 million fewer people working — almost as big a drop in employment as in a typical recession. |
| Why do the rich get richer while regular working Americans can't even hold on to their basic health care benefits? The race to the bottom for the middle class must stop now. |
| This president is shifting the tax burden right on the backs of working, middle-class Americans, ... If he spent some time out here with these middle-class families, he'd understand they can't take it. |
John Edwards (1953-)
