People like me, whose income largely comes from dividends, should pay more taxes.

People like me, whose income largely comes from dividends, should pay more taxes. The problem is that taxes aren't used efficiently.

And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing.

Workers are baking the pie of prosperity, but they're not sharing in those dividends. That's unfair.

There should not be one new dime in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires as long as millions of children in America are poor, hungry, uneducated and without health coverage.

Tax cuts are like sex: When they are good, they are very, very good. And when they are bad, they are still pretty good.

You know, we have a fiscal train wreck before us. And unless we act, and act deliberately, we're not going to enable our kids to have what we have. It's plain and simple as that.

Legislation to create a new 10 percent tax bracket, reduce the marriage penalty, cut the tax rate on dividends and capital gains, and increase the child tax credit have been essential elements in this economic expansion.

To do what we are doing in this budget to our children, cutting their health care funds, decreasing opportunity, simply so we can pay for tax cuts and a war in Iraq is beyond belief, and we need to reverse it.

We're going to have a tax cut. Today's American family is overtaxed at all levels.
