"For a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
Could it be said any better?
Who does not know:
* you do not lighten the load by adding to it
* you do not protect freedom by denying it
* you do not win a war by quitting the fight, you win the war by getting your enemy to quit
* you do not effectuate positive change by repeating negative actions of the past
* you do not promote justice by granting it to some and denying it to others
* you cannot proclaim support of equality by treating people unequally
* when the number of new filings for unemployment insurance falls from one month to the next, it may still reflect an increase in the number of unemployed
* appeasement does not spell a p e a c e m e n t
* you do not make allies by apologizing to your enemies
* wealth that is not yours, is not yours to redistribute
* private industry cannot be publicly owned
* to say things are better when they aren't is to make things worse
* you do not gain stature by shrinking your moral standards.
Who does not know all that?
