- "It is a broadly accepted principle in our system of taxation that people who can afford to pay more â to support the workings of government on behalf of all of us â should pay more. This is why we have long had a system of "progressive taxation," in which the percentage of oneâs income that must be paid in taxes rises as income rises." (solomon4congress.com)

- "There is no guarantee that a candidate whose run for office is financed at the grass roots level will vote the way her constituents want.  But it certainly improves the odds.  We can get big money out of politics if we set our minds to it.  It will take a lot of work to change the system, but we can start by following the money â and being skeptical of candidates whose campaign financing comes from "special interests" that donât share our values and our goals."

- "We have money to spend on healthcare. Right now, we give it to insurance companies, which are supposed to serve as a conduit, channeling the money to pay the doctors, hospitals, and other providers of healthcare to patients. But a portion of that money is not spent on health care; instead, it is diverted to administrative costs that are substantially higher than we see for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as marketing, return to investors and lavish executive compensation."
