I am a Democrat because I believe in the following principles:
I believe in economic security for everyone, not just the top 5 percent of Americans.
I believe that government giving money to the rich doesn't create jobs for the rest of us.
I believe government should reward businesses only after they have created jobs for Americans.
I believe in a free enterprise system for the working and middle classes, not just global corporations.
I believe in both limited government and limited big business.
I believe in free competitive economic markets for local and small businesses, not just distant and monopolistic corporations.
