Party Ruins Gains

More From Rutherford B. Hayes

If there is such a thing as saintly renunciation, it is renouncing small gains for better gains; not for no gains, but seeing with open eyes what is better and what is inferior. even if the choice has to lie between two momentary gains, one of these would always be found to be more real and lasting; that is the one that should be followed for the time.

In the great depression, things could only be set right by causing the idle plant to work again . . . roosevelt . . . spent billions of public money and created a huge public debt, but by so doing he revived production and brought his country out of the depression. businessmen, who in spite of such a sharp lesson continued to believe in old-fashioned economics, were infinitely shocked, and although roosevelt saved them from ruin, they continued to curse him and to speak of him as 'the madman in the white house.' . . .

Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. one stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics.

Moderation? it's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. it's the devil's dilemma. it's neither doing nor not doing. it's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. it's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
Well, certainly the democrats have been arguing to raise the capital gains tax on all americans. obama says he wants to do that. that would slow down economic growth. it's not necessarily helpful to the economy. every time we've cut the capital gains tax, the economy has grown. whenever we raise the capital gains tax, it's been damaged.
