He'll call that trickle-down. I call it Niagara Falls.

Every time in this century we've lowered the tax rates across the board, on employment, on saving, investment and risk-taking in this economy, revenues went up, not down.

Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.

There are no limits to our future if we don't put limits on our people.

He'll call that trickle-down. I call it Niagara Falls.

Democracy without morality is impossible.

There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.

There really has not been a strong Republican message to either the poor or the African American community at large.

I think Bush understands the Internet and the incredible expansion of global e-commerce.

Affirmative action based on quotas is wrong - wrong because it is antithetical to the genius of the American idea: individual liberty.

American society as a whole can never achieve the outer-reaches of potential, so long as it tolerates the inner cities of despair.

Economic growth doesn't mean anything if it leaves people out.

I am not antigovernment. I would not run a campaign against government.

I am shocked that Republicans can't explain why our technological and economic advantages are the result of sound monetary and economic policy.

I believe in civil liberties for homosexuals. I guess I'd have to say I'd draw the line at letting them teach in the schools.

I can't help but care about the rights of the people I used to shower with.

I can't hide my feelings.

I can't understand why the Democratic parties seem so hostile to economic growth and business.

I never met a poor person who wanted to soak the rich; they want to get rich.

I think I've advanced my views with compassion and tolerance.

I unabashedly, unashamedly, unequivocally support the explosion of entrepreneurs in the capitalist system.

I would be a fool to put my feet down in a position where I can't accommodate metamorphoses.

I've been a kind of a wildcatter. I've been able to say anything I wanted.

If we are to change America, we must change the United States Congress.

It's nice to be needed.

Its no secret that I've never liked tax credits.

Just as the left has to be more willing to question 'Government knows best,' the right has to rethink its laissez-faire attitude toward government.

Ladies and gentlemen, communism didn't fall. It was pushed.

My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.

The Democratic Party is the party of the status quo.

The Soviet Union represents a threat in terms of might. It is a joke in terms of its economy and what it has to offer the Third World - a laughingstock to countries that are looking for an economic-development model.

The only thing I can do is tell the truth as I see it and let the chips fall where they may.

The problem is that the economy isn't growing fast enough to accommodate the level of spending produced through the democratic process.

The real problem is deflation. That is the opposite of inflation but equally serious to the borrower.
