I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will. Barack Obama

If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we've got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship. Barack Obama

It is that which we have to fear. John C. Calhoun

Fear, Competition, Long, Meeting, Meet

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
