They Said It:
Republican Leader Eric Cantor’s Plan to Protect the Ultra Wealthy
Yesterday, Republican Leader Eric Cantor’s office announced an upcoming speech on the widening gap between the ultra wealthy and everyone else.
From the POLITICO story about the speech...
SHOT: "The Virginia congressman [Eric Cantor] […] is heading to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania to talk about income disparity and how Republicans believe the government could help fix it."
CHASER: "The speech will zero in on how Washington could […] make sure the people at the top stay there,” the aide said.
