I See Nothing In The Present Situation

Any Man Of Energy And Initiative Can Get What He Wants Out Of Life. But When Initiative Is Crippled By Legislation Or By A Tax System Which Denies Him The Right To Receive A Reasonable Share Of His Earnings, Then He Will No Longer Exert Himself And The Country Will Be Deprived Of The Energy On Which Its Continued Greatness Depends.

There Is No Cause To Worry. The High Tide Of Prosperity Will Continue.

The History Of Taxation Shows That Taxes Which Are Inherently Excessive Are Not Paid. The High Rates Inevitably Put Pressure Upon The Taxpayer To Withdraw His Capital From Productive Business And Invest It In Tax-exempt Securities Or To Find Other Lawful Methods Of Avoiding The Realization Of Taxable Income. The Result Is That The Sources Of Taxation Are Drying Up; Wealth Is Failing To Carry Its Share Of The Tax Burden; And Capital Is Being Diverted Into Channels Which Yield Neither Revenue To The Government Nor Profit To The People.

Prosperity Of The Middling And Lower Orders Depends Upon The Fortunes And Light Taxes Of The Rich.
