Butler County's great daily newspaper

Jim

I'll not only quote what he said - I'll give you the link and you can read it yourself. Please give me your link where it wasn't cut and pasted, because I would like to read it for myself. This is a link to an interview that explains his position. This interview was on 11-8-11.

"My taxes were cut a lot in the last decade and my income went up a lot. I believe people like me should pay, not because it's a bad thing to be successful, but because the country's made us successful and we're in the best position to help do something about the debt and invest in the future of the young people to give them a better future."

"It's not class warfare. We've had the biggest increase in income inequality since 1981 in our history. It isn't class warfare. It's class warfare if we're saying 'rich people plundered the middle class and if we just brought them down to our level everything would be wonderful.' That's not what I'm saying."

Please give me your link. I am anxious to read your article.
