WASHINGTON -- Pointing toward midterm elections, House Democratic leader
Nancy Pelosi promises to raise the minimum wage while cutting taxes to spur
economic growth and help the middle class.

She also vows that Democrats will keep American jobs from going overseas
by repealing current tax incentives if voters give her party the reins of
Congress on Nov. 7.

"This economy is making the super-rich richer, and leaving middle-class
American families further behind, deeper in debt and struggling to make ends
meet," Pelosi, D-Calif., said in excerpts of a speech she was delivering
Thursday at Georgetown University.

Bush and Republicans in Congress have created a market failure -- they have
consistently rewarded wealth without rewarding work."
