"That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."
-- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864
"The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."
-- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Word has reached us that when asked point blank by reporters today about breaking his campaign promise not to raise taxes, Mark Warner stumbled around the question badly before finally falling back into old habits and dismissing it as “negative Washington campaigning.” That is the same tactic he used back in 2001 when Republican candidate Mark Earley [...]

Marky Mark has up his announcement video and in it he says, “This is about the future, not the past.”

-- President Ronald Reagan from "The Speech" - October 27, 1964
