According to the IRS, the wealthiest 400 Americans, who earned an average of roughly $270 million in 2008, paid an average tax rate of just 18.2 percent that year. That's about the same rate paid by a single truck driver in Rhode Island. It's not right, and we need to restore fairness to our tax code.

Nach Angaben des IRS zahlten die reichsten 400 Amerikaner, die 2008 im Durchschnitt rund 270 Millionen Dollar verdient hatten, in diesem Jahr einen durchschnittlichen Steuersatz von gerade einmal 18,2 Prozent. Das ist ungefähr die gleiche Rate, die ein einzelner LKW-Fahrer in Rhode Island bezahlt. Das ist nicht richtig, und wir müssen unsere Steuervorschriften wieder fair gestalten.

Now, the president would like to do tax reform, which would obviously lower rates for most people in America and make the tax code fair and get rid of loopholes and special treatment. But absent tax reform, the president believes the right way to get our fiscal house in order is ask the wealthy to pay their fair share.

I've met students across Rhode Island who rely on Pell Grants. They work hard, play by rules, and are doing everything they can to get the education they need for the jobs of tomorrow.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.

Rhode Island works hard to reduce air pollution in our communities. We passed laws to prohibit cars and buses from idling their engines and to retrofit school buses with diesel pollution controls. But there is only so much a single state can do, particularly against out-of-state pollution.
