Quote of the Week

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a "we're all in it together" society.

(We) ....can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

~ Hillary Clinton, Collectivist & 1%er
