Patricia Schroeder: “today the Census Bureau tells us something that the average American already knows, and that is, according to census…”

“today the Census Bureau tells us something that the average American already knows, and that is, according to census figures, the income disparity between the richest and the poorest in this country is bigger than ever. Bigger than ever, because we have been living under the Gingrich budget which says we must cut everybody in the middle class so the rich can get even more tax cuts, and we must continue to lift the deficit because guess who loans the money to the Government? The rich. So they are getting it both ways. It is absolutely amazing. And what are we supposed to do? What are families supposed to do, normal families? I guess we are back to trickledown. I do not know about you, but the people in my area have been waiting for trickledown for years now, and they have not even gotten damp. I think we have finally got to take this families first agenda that the Democrats have come up with and go out there and remind people it is the middle class that built this Government, and it is the middle class that is getting tromped on by this Government. Families first is the agenda for the future.”
