I might add that one of the functional components of American liberty was and remains the right of workers to have their resources come to them so they can live out their dreams and their lives. We have changed this over the years. I pointed out this morning, my father kept 80 percent of his lifetime wages, he was born in 1912, and his granddaughter will be lucky if she keeps 40 percent of her lifetime wages. That will functionally change the way this country governs itself and lives. We must restore economic liberty to American workers.
