When I was 27 years old I organized legal aid clinics to help low-income seniors. It was a life-altering experience.

We will have bigger bureaucracies bigger labor unions and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.

Equal pay isn't just a women's issue when women get equal pay their family incomes rise and the whole family benefits.

Pell Grants are and have been critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students.

The College Access and Opportunity Act addresses the important need to make higher education more affordable and easier to access for low and middle-income students.

When women earn the money for the family everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health education to food security to the children to the family or to the community so when women have an income everybody wins.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

Giving women education work the ability to control their own income inherit and own property benefits the society. If a woman is empowered her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper the village prospers and eventually so does the whole country.

A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income but rather to education.

Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.

Well we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income health care education of their children food stamps.

One-third of Americans have already been forced to change their lifestyle because their disposable income is gone. A guy can't go to the corner bar after a rough day at work to have a beer that's gone to oil!

President Obama's version of America is a divided one - pitting us against each other based on our income level gender and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago and no rhetoric bumper sticker or campaign ad can change that.

If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected it will zap our discretionary income. We won't have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.

The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.

The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.

A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of certain income can indulge.

Women would be disproportionately affected by the privatization of social security. It is one of the most important safety nets for American women in old age or in times of disability to insure financial income for their families.

Work is transformative. It gives you a greater chance of a greater income. You can affect your life while you're of working age so you have scope and opportunity. Pensioners do not.

My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income because they are no longer able to work.

Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education age income gender or race.
