Progressive taxation can offset the effect of growing inequality.

Here's something we're rarely told growing up: our world rewards wealth, not hard work or talent.

For me, growing up as an activist under an oppressive dictatorship in Uganda, the U.N. was a friend to those of us who fought our way to freedom, as it was for the millions who joined decolonization struggles in the African continent.

The world belongs to the wealthy, and nowhere is this injustice more apparent than in the workplace.

Never before in modern times has so much of the world been simultaneously hit by a confluence of economic and financial turmoil such as we are now living through.

If we have an honest discussion on whether the war on poverty should be fought with welfare or with economic growth in the private sector, Democrats will lose black votes.

Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.

There's a lot of things that you can do where you don't have to have a lot of money. Going to the drive-in, which cost a dollar, and we would make food to take with us to the drive-in. That was a big thrill.
