When I Was Waiting Tables, Washing Dishes, Or Mowing Lawns For Money, I Never Thought Of Myself As Stuck In Some Station In Life. I Was On My Own Path, My Own Journey, An American Journey Where I Could Think For Myself, Decide For Myself, Define Happiness For Myself.

Conventional Wisdom On Government's Role In Inequality Often Has It Backwards. Tax Reforms Have Resulted In A More Progressive Federal Income Tax; Government Transfer Payments Have Become Less Progressive.

I Think You Can Walk And Chew Gum At The Same Time. I Think You Can Oppose The President On Some Issue That You Fundamentally Disagree With, But Also Work With The Other Party On Issues You Do Agree With.

While President Obama Shirks His Responsibility To Advance Solutions To Our Fiscal Challenges, He Can No Longer Hide From The Merciless Math Of The Balance Sheet. Conservatives Have Made Certain Of That.

And If Small Businesspeople Say They Made It On Their Own, All They Are Saying Is That Nobody Else Worked Seven Days A Week In Their Place. Nobody Showed Up In Their Place To Open The Door At Five In The Morning. Nobody Did Their Thinking, And Worrying, And Sweating For Them.

We Wonder If We Will Be The First Generation In American History To Leave Our Children With Fewer Opportunities And A Less Prosperous Nation Than The One We Inherited.
