"We can have a democratic society or we can have great concentrated wealth in the hands of a few. We cannot have both." Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice (1916-39).
"The United States is more unequal than at any other time since the dawn of the New Deal—indeed, it's the most unequal society in the advanced democratic world."
-- The Atlantic Monthly, Jan/Feb 2003.
"[Market fundamentalists paint] the world only in black and white. Taxes, by definition are bad, so another round of tax cuts is always desirable since individuals, argue the fundamentalists, are sure to use the money more wisely than governments ... Similar to other fundamentalisms, its ideas do not have to be tested; they are simply The Truth. Even if the economy is still sluggish after three large doses of tax cutting, there is no reason to reconsider the claim that tax cuts are the royal road to a stronger economy." Fred Block.
"I am not for the Bush plan. It screams of injustice ... It will result in us sending a smaller percentage of our income to Washington compared to the people who work in our shoe factory. When I am asked, 'what did you do in the war grandpa?' that's not what I want to admit to." Warren Buffet, Second Richest Man in America.
He also has said: "Putting $1,000 in the pockets of 310,000 families with urgent needs is going to provide far more stimulus to the economy than putting the same $310 million in my pockets ... the "government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party." [May 2003] Link to article
