In the late 1970s, the top 1 percent of the people in our country controlled about 9 percent of real income, and in 2007, the top 1 percent controlled about 23.5 percent of real income. If you go back and see the amount of time families…

Yes, we do. And we are right in line to continue down the road of innovation, whether it was aerospace with the Wright brothers, the steel industry in Youngstown in the eastern part of my district, or the rubber industry in Akron, which is…
