ellison. and thank you for your consistent strong voice on what we really need to do here in america to take care of people. at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day, our task is to fulfill that message of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. and this day really in many ways fulfills that. you think about it. can you have life without health care? well, probably for not for very long. mostly everyone i know has had a sickness and you don't get health care, you may lose your life. happiness? we know that most of the bankruptcy, this is before the great crash, but most of the bankruptcy are not having health care and not having insurance. so with regard to happiness, wow. and of course, liberty. you just think about the number of americans that are literally chained or tied to their job because they have health care there. they want to leave and pursue a different course, want to improve, but they can't because they are tied to their job because of health care. they can't get

but at the same time, our administration felt very comfortable giving larry ellison pledges of a huge amount of money for the america's cup regatta race for the billionaires, when in fact, there are a whole lot of people that will not show up for that. most of the money would be a trickle-down money that would come in from taxes and so on. the reality is, there is a perception that i certainly share, which is that we, as a city, feel comfortable giving money to wealth, and are really cheap when it comes to things like parks and the poor, as several speakers here have already said, to the people who are residents of the city who are in great need. i would urge that you look at that value system and reevaluate it. the money needs to go where the residents of san francisco need it to go, not just to those -- like twitter and larry ellison -- who are really not in need of our money.
