If we can't cut spending, then we must make the revenue pie bigger; here's how.
Byline: Leo Morris
Let us revisit a few Democratic presidential-nomination acceptance speeches for a lesson in how to promote American unity.
George McGovern, 1972: Discussion of tax laws is held in closed rooms "where the administration, its powerful friends and their paid lobbyists can turn every effort at reform into a new loophole for the rich and powerful."
Jimmy Carter, 1976: "The powerful always manage to discover and occupy niches of special influence and privilege."
Walter Mondale, 1984: "What we have today is government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich."
Michael Dukakis, 1988: "If anyone tells you that the American dream belongs to the privileged few and not to all of us, you tell them the Reagan era is over."
Al Gore, 2000: "I will not go along with a huge tax cut for the wealthy at the expense of everyone else."
