Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.

Dreams require down payments. dreams are free, but the journey isn't. there is a price to pay. first, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. ralph waldo emerson said, 'whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.

The history of taxation shows that taxes which are inherently excessive are not paid. the high rates inevitably put pressure upon the taxpayer to withdraw his capital from productive business and invest it in tax-exempt securities or to find other lawful methods of avoiding the realization of taxable income. the result is that the sources of taxation are drying up; wealth is failing to carry its share of the tax burden; and capital is being diverted into channels which yield neither revenue to the government nor profit to the people.
