In The Artist's Recreation Of The World

Some People Have Greatness Thrust Upon Them. Very Few Have Excellence Thrust Upon Them.

Tax Reduction Has An Almost Irresistible Appeal To The Politician, And It Is No Doubt Also Gratifying To The Citizen. It Means More Dollars In His Pocket, Dollars That He Can Spend If Inflation Doesn't Consume Them First. But Dollars In His Pocket Won't Buy Him Clean Streets Or An Adequate Police Force Or Good Schools Or Clean Air And Water.

If We Stick To That Formula We Shall End Up In Affluent Misery.
