Few Obama quotes for comparison. I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes. I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody. We need earmark reform, and when I'm President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely. I don't take a dime of their [lobbyist] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House. A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.' I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class. Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues. It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

"The difference between a policy and a crusade is that a policy is judged by its results, while a crusade is judged by how good it makes its crusaders feel." --- Thomas Sowell "There is no place in a fanatic's head where reason can enter." --- Napoleon "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." --- Philip K. Dick "The less one knows how to command, the more urgently one covets someone who commands, who commands severely - a god, prince, class, physician, father confessor, dogma, or party conscience... for fanaticism is the only 'strength of will' that even the weak and insecure can be brought to attain, being a sort of hypnotism of the whole system of the senses and the intellect for the benefit of an excessive nourishment of a single point of view and feeling that henceforth becomes dominant." --- Nietzsche "However beautiful the strategy, you must occasionally look at the results." - Winston Churchill "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" --- Lord Keynes
