I don't know the taxpayer has perhaps much of an understanding of just how much wealth has been and is being and can be created that flows through the economy and just how many jobs depend upon it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's not enough to have economic growth. You have to distribute wealth throughout all of society.
Believe me, I understand that most higher rate taxpayers are not the super-rich.
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
There is no real wealth but the labor of man.
I think the latest estimates were that we have about 250,000 millionaires and billionaires. President Obama wants to increase their taxes 13 percent.
Cannot people realize how large an income is thrift?
It's really a question of fairness and what kind of country we're going to live in. There are 22,000 people making over $1 million. They're paying an effective tax rate in the teens. As Warren Buffett said, he pays less in taxes effectively than his secretary does. That's not right.
The modern economy isn't about the redistribution of wealth, it's about the redistribution of time.
The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
