"I consider myself a centrist, I suppose, but I basically believe in trying to preserve as much opportunity for the individual, as long as that individual chooses to work as hard as he can." "I would like to try to rid the country of the idea that it's the rich against the poor." -- Kelsey Grammer External links IMDb entry on Grammer Kelsey Grammer Shows Interest in Politics, Associated Press, September 24, 2003 This article is from Wikipedia.
