Harvey Gantt delivers a campaign speech in Chapel Hill after a short introduction. Gantt tells the crowd that the federal government has a role to play in education and that North Carolina needs educated and skilled workers to compete internationally. Gantt says he supports expanding Pell grants and student loans, $10,000 tax deductions for college tuition, a $500 per child tax credit, a increase in minimum wage, job training programs, equal pay for equal work, protecting the environment. He says that the government doesn't need to take money from seniors to balance the budget. Gantt criticizes his opponent, Jesse Helms, for voting to cut Medicare and Social Security, voting against seniors while accepting donations from corporations and foreign governments, giving tax breaks to the wealthy, and voting against school lunches and student loans. Gantt says that the working make up America and have the power to change the government.
