BONUS MAX BAUCUS QUOTE:

“The health care reform is an income shift. It is a shift, a leveling, to help lower income, middle income Americans.”

“The maldistribution of income in America has gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind.” The new health care legislation, Baucus promised, “will have the effect of addressing that maldistribution of income in America.”
–Max Baucus, March 25, 2010
