“We were giving advice for the single-worst idea to come forward from a group that's been rife with them, it would be this: The idea is this: Let's make the tax code of America better for very rich people; let's give substantial tax relief to the richest people we can find. Forget about the person making $40,000 a year and paying Social Security payroll tax. Forget about all those other people paying income tax; we're here to give tax relief to the richest 2% of America.” PeopleGivingYearsPersonsIdeasWould BeAmericaSocialForgetRichGroupsWorstAdviceSecurityTaxesIncomeCodeReliefSocial SecurityRich PeopleIncome TaxGiving AdvicePayrollPayroll Tax Author:Barney Frank

“We forget today that Britain still depends for its livelihood and, indeed, its day-to-day survival, on the sea. But the Royal Navy is now pitifully small and has been reduced in size by the current Government, seeking economies to finance its social programmes. Fine while there is no threat to our security.

“Over the years, I've found that I either live life or write about it. I can't seem to do both simultaneously - I have to do it sequentially. When I write incessantly, I lose touch with the issues and passions that fuel the work. But when I get too involved in organizations or movement endeavors, I almost forget that I'm a writer. It's a constant struggle to find a balance between these two worlds - the solitary writing life and the life of a social justice activist.” WorldWritingYearsI CanTwoSeemsPassionFoundSocialLosesJusticeForgetStruggleIssuesMovementBalanceInvolvedOrganizationSocial JusticeConstantActivismLive LifeFuelActivistEndeavorSolitaryWriting LifeTwo WorldsIncessantlyConstant Struggle Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin

“Sometimes the difference between two candidates is an important one in the immediate sense, and then I believe trying to get somebody into office, who is a little better, who is less dangerous, is understandable. But never forgetting that no matter who gets into office, the crucial question is not who is in office, but what kind of social movement do you have. Because if you have a powerful social movement, it doesn't matter who is in office.” IfsTryingBelieveKindLittlesTwoImportantSometimesMatterI BelieveSocialDifferencesForgetPowerfulDangerousMovementOfficeCandidatesNever ForgetCrucialSocial Movements Author:Howard Zinn
“'Back To Love' is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it's a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older.

“You who have never “been there” in the throes of grief, have no idea what is going on inside the head of the grieving spouse: the scattered thoughts, the constant worry that we will forget something or someone in our fog-induced state, that strange feeling of not quite “being all there” when out in social situations, the pall that covers everything, like a cloak of sadness that never lifts.” IdeasStatesFeelingsSocialForgetGriefSituationWorrySadnessStrangeConstantLiftsNo IdeaGrievingSpouseFogCloaks Author:Mary Potter
