“I think we can agree on the fact that more Americans do need to get involved in the political system, and I do believe that a lot of people have tuned it out, and that has been unfortunate, but that we have to do what we can to help middle-class families expand that middle class and to contribute. But I have got to say that is about where the similarities end, because unlike the previous speaker, I do not believe the answers lie in Washington, DC. In fact, I think most of the problems that afflict middle-class Americans come from Washington, DC. Now that is not demagoguery, it is not simple-mindedness. It is just reality. He spoke for some time about what I would call class warfare, talking about, oh, the big business men and women that make all that money, that steal from the middle class, that steal from the working class. And we have heard that type of class warfare come out of the White House for the past few years, we have heard it on the floor of the House here, and I just--it strikes me as being very interesting because I look back over my background, look back over my history, and I remember growing up in a very middle-class family.”
