Facts Are Stupid Things — Stubborn Things,

I, For One, Resent It When A Representative Of The People Refers To You And Me, The Free Men And Women Of This Country, As 'the Masses.'

I Have Only One Thing To Say To The Tax Increasers: Go Ahead, Make My Day.

I'm Sure Everyone Feels Sorry For The Individual Who Has Fallen By The Wayside Or Who Can't Keep Up In Our Competitive Society, But My Own Compassion Goes Beyond That To Those Millions Of Unsung Men And Women, Who Get Up Every Morning, Send The Kids To School, Go To Work, Try To Keep Up The Payments On Their House, Pay Exorbitant Taxes To Make Possible Compassion For The Less Fortunate, And As A Result Have To Sacrifice Many Of Their Own Desires And Dreams And Hopes. Government Owes Them Something Better Than Always Finding A New Way To Make Them Share The Fruit Of Their Toils With Others.

But I Also Happen To Be Someone Who Believes In Tithing--the Giving Of A Tenth .

Only Our Deep Moral Values And Our Strong Social Institutions Can Hold Back That Jungle And Restrain The Darker Impulses Of Human Nature.
