"human beings, my friends." it also explains why, when a woman right here in iowa shared the story of her financial struggles, he gave her an answer out of an economics textbook. he said, "our productivity equals our income." well, as if she'd have an easier time making it if she would just work harder. now, let me tell you something. we believe in the profit motive. we believe that risk-takers and investors should be rewarded. that's what makes our economy so dynamic. but we also believe everybody should have opportunity.
