how in heavens name can you ascribe so much “economic disaster” to the stupid income tax?

When and where did I ascribe "economic disaster" to anyone or anything?

Things are good. I'm not going hungry or thirsty. I have sturdy shelter and warm clothes. If there is any complaint, it's that I suffer from too much abundance. I'm getting fat and lazy.

Things are good. They can be better, We can make them better. Gasoline is a good fuel; we can find better ones. We pay little in taxes and get good from them; we could pay less and get more. What is life, if it is not driven to improve?

A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a Heaven for?

Humans are restless creatures. We can never crest one hill without seeing the next. We sarcely had a footprint on the moon before we set our sights on Mars.

When Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stood atop Mt. Everest,I am sure they felt achievement and satisfaction, They'd done what most people said could not be done. But I am equally sure that they felt disappointment, because there was nothing left to climb.

Alexander looked across his realm and wept, because there were no more worlds to conquer.

Then make it better, don’t risk all the chips on an untested crap shoot.
