"Last year, Reagan said over and over again that life was getting better; he was quite selective in his information. For the top two-fifths in the nation, life has gotten better ... 90,000 corporations which made $100,000 or more profit last year paid no taxes. "But for those making $2,000 less than the poverty line paying taxes ... standing in cheese and butter lines with no meat or bread, things have not gotten better." Jackson said that Reagan had devastated social service programs in his budget cuts. He said that there had been a 75 percent cut back in public housing, a 25 percent cut back in public^ education and malnutrition on the rise. "There are eight million more people in poverty and thousands more millionaires," he said. "As a nation of moral character, we can not judge a leadership just by what it does for the most of these," but by how it helps the poor and other dis advantaged people, Jackson said. He also encouraged the audience to look at economic issues rather than racial issues. "Whe^ our economic market is divided on ulack and white, male and female, the orporations get our tax breaks, our consumer dollars, our best years of labor; yet [they] put toxic wastes in our air, put acid in our rain, close the plants on the workers black and white, and take our jobs to South Africa, Taiwan and South Korea and we're too divided to even fight. "We can not compete with a Photo by: Denise Moultrie Howard Lee and Dean Hayden B. Renwick chat Rev. Jesse Jackson sneaks on September 19th. divided ... management market in race and sex."

"The idea of a woman coming from the rib of a man does not mean that a woman is inferior or should be de meaned ... it means that he is incom plete without the affection and com panionship of a woman." He finished be telling those un registered in the audience to stand up and register in the lobby. "If you go to school in Chapel Hill, you live in Chapel Hill; your parents live at home ... you have the right to vote where you live."
