That's the American way, isn't it?

I’m for creating more jobs. Enough jobs to put everyone back to work. Even if it costs billions of dollars. In increased taxes on the rich. It’s the humane thing to do. Serving the common good. In the long run, it’ll help the nation’s economy. Working people have more money to spend. That’s good. And it’ll improve the morale of almost everybody. That’s good, too. And many of the jobs can be in the public sector. Construction work. To enhance and expand our infrastructure. Anyway, a jobs bill sure beats an austerity program. Of course, some people with money are for austerity. Because they’ve already got their share. But the people without money – well, they need jobs. Guess I’m a patriot. Because I think the rich should help the poor. That’s the American way, isn't it? –Jim Broede
