I get emotional for working class people and poor (people). He gets emotional for the rich and likes to throw stones at working families.

There's a vast class - the poor, the underprivileged, the people least likely to vote - who are not represented any more.

Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money.

None of us are rich. It's not like we're some upper class people coming in and helping the poor. We're poor too.

We have rooms that leak due to poor roof conditions. Also, take a look at class sizes. Thirty-plus full-grown seniors are stuck in a 600-square-foot room. At class transition times, students must cram into the small hallways. It is a safety issue.

This is a class issue. These are poor people we're talking about. None of us ever are put in this situation. President Bush, whatever happened to compassionate conservatism?
