thomas jefferson, at the beginning of this country, thought that to vote you had to be a landowner. now, that didn't last very long, and the vote was given to everyone, but the basic idea was you had to be a taxpayer or a person of property to vote. that went by the boards. margaret thatcher tried to change that in england, in what became called as the poll tax. the idea was that every single citizen of the uk had to pay something in taxes, even if they got it back in subsidies elsewhere. if you didn't pay something in taxes, you couldn't vote. she was thrown under the bus by her own party for trying to push that through. the tom perkins system is, you don't get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes, but what i really think is, it should be like a corporation. if you pay a million dollars in taxes, you could get a million votes. how is that? [laughter] [applause] >> you're right that i don't agree with you. you're wrong that i'm angry. i would point out to you the flaw in your argument. since everybody pays sales tax, and anyone who drives a car pays taxes for that, then we're ri

it will take place under the statute to you ostatue of one og fathers, thomas jefferson. thank you. >> thanks, owen. as he said one of the things that is if anything positive about this, it's that journalist who is are normally fiercely competitive actually come together around these most important moments to try to get their colleagues out of trouble, out of captivity. we're pleased to have many journalistic organizations here today and they've supported us throughout that. we're grateful. i would like to ask gary pruitt, the ceo of the associated press to say a few words. >> thank you. we all know that a free press is the backbone of any country that calls itself a democracy. yet around the world those whose mission it is to shine a light on power are increasingly under attack. once recorded as the impartial eyes and ears of the world journalists today are targeted in an attempt to influence and control the news. sometimes they are literally presented friday gathering the news. deported, detained or even imprisoned as we're speaking about today. other times government o

i don't think thomas jefferson, george washington, or any of the founding fathers would ever think that this was a mandate of free speech. >> i just want to add a few points. the first is that, once again, this was a 5-4 decision. once again, we see the supreme court behaving in a way that would be matched if the five conservative justices made it a strategy to go off and sit in a room by themselves and decide how best to implement the republican agenda and then came out and did it. the recurrence of these 5-4 decisions are very important and the issues. it is a signal of a court that leans towards getting its way rather than seeking consensus among the judges. in this case, and in citizens united, getting its way means aligning political power in this country with financial wealth. and that is a step that is a bad one for democracy. the idea that your voice in this country counts only in proportion to your wealth is a very unfortunate idea but it is the base of both citizens united and this decision. the last thing i will mention is that this is a court that knows essentially nothing a

good to be with you tom so you know thomas jefferson say you know if excessive wealth is dangerous to the state it's an obligation of the state basically to take that wealth one hundred billion dollars being used in political ways in excess even of it in many in many states political parties you know but the koch's are spending just that those two brothers are probably spending more than your entire party is spending in your entire state in election cycle how is that good for democracy. well look you know i think the way the left is demonizing the koch family is really disgraceful i don't think there's anything wrong with people spending money that they've earned in the political process as long as it's all disclosed and right now every political dollar that's spent isn't disclosed i certainly think it should be but you know it referenced the koch family so it's a similar what you know. their hold on a minute the kogi square what you're saying is we should have alison jobs in america alone over one hundred not some say over one hundred thousand jobs overseas so yes look the bottom lin

thomas jefferson had been the founder to be at he end of the disciples believed that american civilizationould march towards the pacific and the continent's supply of the land would be settled by human farmers who embodied the nation's egalitarian spirit. of course the reality was more complicated. the region contained land that resisted the cultivation and indians that resisted extermination but as the line of the settlement moved forward past the alleghenies and the mississippi than the rockies the jeffersonian dream of the westport empire of liberty began to look like a prophecy. even henry david when departing for his walk felt drawn in a westerly direction. the future that lies that way to me into the earth seems more unexhausted and rich on that side. mark twain was born in 1835 and reached his young adult hood at the best possible time as the country embarked on the most extraordinary period of change in its history. he was western by birth and raised on the missouri frontier. the outbreak first hi firsthandr west as he fled the fighting in the state for the region beyond the rockie
