"We need real tax reform which makes the rich and profitable corporations begin to pay their fair share of taxes. We need a tax system which is fair and progressive.

~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"What kind of nation are we when we give tax breaks to billionaires, but we can't take care of the elderly and the children."
