21. 60 or 70 percent?

Take it back to 90 like it was under Eisenhower. That was what it took to give our country a healthy thriving middle class and truly recover from the depression. We have the road map for how to solve our problems, just not the will to follow it.

We need a new new deal.

Love it! peacebird Dec 2012 #1
