I would like to have seen my sons growing up.

The real reason to oppose increasing tax rates on the wealthy is that it's a good bet they could do more to help the economy if they keep their money rather than have their earnings confiscated by the government and spent on another round of stimulus.

Public trust in both government and corporations is low, and deservedly so.

I think it's natural for anyone that participates in a public debate to advocate for the most extreme version that they can, particularly if they believe that government tends to compromise.

If you can't put your values into your vote, we don't have a democracy.
