“If top marginal income tax rates are set too high, they discourage productive economic activity. In the limit, a top marginal income tax rate of 100 percent would mean that taxpayers would gain nothing from working harder or investing more.

By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony.”

I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would be happy without them.”
