“The tax that was supposed to soak the rich has instead soaked America. The beneficiary of the income tax has not been the poor, but big government.

It has created welfare dependencies that have entrapped millions of Americans in an underclass that is forced to live a sordid existence of trading votes for government handouts.”

It was also possible for those of us who saw what was happening to turn our eyes in a different direction; but what, in another decade, had been a trip to the clap clinic was now a trip to the mortuary.”
