No Matter What Anyone May Say About Making The Rich And The Corporations Pay The Taxes, In The End They Come Out Of The People Who Toil. It Is Your Fellow Workers Who Are Ordered To Work For The Government, Every Time An Appropriation Bill Is Passed. The People Pay The Expense Of Government, Often Many Times Over, In The Increased Cost Of Living. I Want Taxes To Be Less, That The People May Have More.

While Legislation Can Stimulate And Encourage, The Real Creative Ability Which Builds Up And Develops The Country, And In General Makes Human Existence More Tolerable And Life More Complete, Has To Be Supplied By The Genius Of The People Themselves. The Government Can Supply No Substitute For Enterprise.

The People Cannot Look To Legislation Generally For Success. Industry, Thrift, Character, Are Not Conferred By Act Or Resolve. Government Cannot Relieve From Toil. It Can Provide No Substitute For The Rewards Of Service. It Can, Of Course, Care For The Defective And Recognize Distinguished Merit. The Normal Must Care For Themselves. Self-government Means Self-support.

Nothing In This World Can Take The Place Of Persistence. Talent Will Not: Nothing Is More Common Than Unsuccessful Men With Talent.
