Summary: The Democratic Party touts Merkley's record on strengthening the middle class.
Script of "Burden" (TV)
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: They're out of control: record deficits, $9 trillion in debt, more tax burden on the middle class.
JEFF MERKLEY: I'm Jeff Merkley, and in the Oregon Legislature, I worked to put the middle class first. Balancing the budget. Getting rid of golden parachutes for school administrators. And as Speaker, I created Oregon's rainy day fund.
JEFF MERKLEY [v/o]: Now Washington needs to get its budget under control and remember who's paying the taxes.
