All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.

The dual effect of high growth creating higher income that's taxed by government at all levels, combined with lessening demands placed on government that occurs during economic prosperity, is a worthy objective.

There are always ways to make government better, always ways to make sure that the taxes of people are better spent.

The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.

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.

My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.

I think for voters what matters is the values that drive the government.

Governments, of course, can - and do - soak the rich.
