Quotes
"I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. Democratic governments have to make choices about where to limit market forces. Extreme laissez-faire capitalism starts with the premise that the role of government is only to create the conditions for economic growth. Yet, left to its own devices, capitalism can generate a momentum that makes inequality rise and democracy fall away." - Paul Krugman

The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people." - Daniel Webster
