Recommended:Read the Gettysburg Address by Eliot Spitzer
The former Governor of New York suggests that Lincoln wanted us to carry on the legacy of the brave soldiers who died at Gettysburg by forging a better nation in their name. He is concerned about our lack of a spirit of "sharing," however. His examples of "sharing" are directly tied to the wealthiest amongst us, and the greed they exhibit. A slightly higher tax rate and smaller bonuses for the wealthiest amongst us would not hurt them, and could save our nation from economic ruin. My concern is that they are going to have to feel that their own financial fortunes are at stake before they will be concerned about improving the lot of ordinary Americans.
