big money families like the Kochs and the Coors that were sick of paying
income taxes rolled right into
Washington, D.C. and started writing fat checks to fund right-wing
think tanks... that would change the way many Americans
looked at the world. Finally, in 1980,
this unlikely revolution of the super-rich
and white conservatives found its face. For those without skills, we'll find a way
to help them get new skills. For those
without job opportunities, we'll stimulate
new opportunities, particularly in the inner
cities where they live. For those
who've abandoned hope, we'll restore hope
and we'll welcome them into a great national crusade to make America great again
