Do what is best for most people, not just a few. Prevent your elites and growing middle class, those who often benefit most from growth and development, from turning into a special interests group that blocks reforms.

But what we're determined to do, and what the reforms will do is to make sure this system goes back to its core purpose of taking the savings of Americans and from investors around the world and allocating those to people with an idea, not just the largest companies in the country, but to small businesses with an idea and a plan for growing.
What I'd like to do is continue a private sector, free market Main Street types of policies. And those include less regulation. They include a fairer, flatter tax system.
I am hard-core middle class.
I want to make democracy work not only for the rich and the well connected but for everyone.
Eradicate poverty. This is all that matters in my country. When I am out training I think about this a lot; when I am running it is going over in my mind. As a country we cannot move forward until we eradicate poverty.
What you really want to do is sit down and find a place that you can control government spending and raise more revenue.

Let some people get rich first.
There's no conscious plan here; my whole life in politics as a state legislator and in Congress has been about strengthening the middle class.
