More From Cordell Hull

Your profits are going to be cut down to a reasonably low level by taxation. your income will be subject to higher taxes. indeed in these days, when every available dollar should go to the war effort, i do not think that any american citizen should have a net income in excess of $25,000 per year after payment of taxes.
War Cutting Thinking
The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.
Real Simple Desire
In time of this grave national danger, when all excess income should go to win the war, no american citizen ought to have a net income, after he has paid his taxes, of more than $25,000 a year.

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.
Simple Attachment Talking
If you look at the performance of the zero-income-tax-rate states and the highest-income-tax-rate states, i believe a large amount of their difference is due to taxes. not only is it true of the last decade, but i took these numbers back 50 years. and, there's not one year in the last 50 where the zero-income-tax-rate states have not outperformed the highest-income-tax-rate states.
Zero Believe Years
The federal government, state governments will not do without that tax revenue from tobacco no matter what. i've always thought it was one of the most contradictory setups that we have, because everything said publicly about the product is intended to besmirch it, impugn it, and do the same thing to the people that use it. and yet here's the government scoring, i mean, you want to talk about obscene profits, the government doesn't do a damn thing but stick its hand in. the government taxes tobacco at every stage. it taxes tobacco when the farmer's thinking about planting it.

Similar Quotes
By a symbol i do not mean an allegory or a sign, but an image that describes in the best possible way the dimly discerned nature of the spirit. a symbol does not define or explain; it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language.

There has been considerable comment over the awarding of the nobel peace prize to a soldier. i am afraid this does not seem as remarkable to me as it quite evidently appears to others. i know a great deal of the horrors and tragedies of war. ... the cost of war in human lives is constantly spread before me, written neatly in many ledgers whose columns are gravestones. i am deeply moved to find some means or method of avoiding another calamity of war.

Because i'm criticizing liberalism, people automatically call me a conservative. this is madness! the idea that somehow one cannot critique liberalism from the left, from the left wing of liberalism. i mean, how can people be so stupid?
