Give us this day our daily taste. Restore to us soups that spoons will not sink in and sauces which are never the same twice. Raise up among us stews with more gravy than we have bread to blot it with Give us pasta with a hundred fillings.
Every time we’ve cut the capital gains tax, the economy has grown. Whenever we raise the capital gains tax, it’s been damaged. It’s one of those taxes that most clearly damages economic growth and jobs.

I believe the quickest and most sure way to reduce poverty, raise living standards and create jobs around the world is to make economies and governments more open and free, thereby encouraging business and entrepreneurship.
I do close to 30 minutes in cardio at a very high rate. I raise the level of intensity. I do a level 18 on the elliptical at four miles an hour for 20 minutes. That’s 360 calories. I want to see someone else try that. The resistance factor at 18 is brutal. No one goes to 20.
Ironically, it’s easier to raise the money to make the film than it is to have the film find wide distribution.

At least in the United States, most economic resentment is not directed toward billionaires or high-roller financiers – not even corrupt ones.

Experience is a legitimate issue when John McCain raises it about Obama, and it’s also legitimate for us to raise it about Palin.
I’ve got cattle on 4,000 acres about 100 miles east of Dallas, but I’ve also got another 65-acre ranch where I raise American miniature horses.

It can be tough to find areas where Left and Right can agree. Consider the well-being of children: Americans often disagree about how to raise kids, how to educate them, even what to feed them.
I’m the only one in America who belongs to the ‘Cure Cancer’ party, so if you give money to cancer, like Harry Reid and Max Baucus, some of these guys really helped us raise big money for cancer, I give them big money for their reelections.

I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful.
Women hold up more than half the sky and represent much of the world’s unrealized potential. They are the educators. They raise the children. They hold families together and increasingly drive economies. They are natural leaders. We need their full engagement… in government, business and civil society.
The crusade to convince us that global warming can only be dealt with by wealth destruction and higher energy prices began with an effort to ‘raise awareness,’ which turned into some delicate nanny-state prodding before efforts to artificially inflate prices.

I raise this objection to debate the process, and protect the integrity of the true will of the people.
I’m just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child.
When I first came to Congress, the party was supposed to help you. Now, when a new member is sworn in, he or she is told what their dues are – how much they are expected to raise for the party for the next election. It’s worse in the Senate. It turns the whole place into a money machine.
