” We are oft to blame in this, - / ‘Tis too much proved - that with devotion’s visage/ And pious action we do sugar o’er/ The devil himself.”
-Polonius from Shakespeare’s Hamlet Act 3, Scene 1

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, Republican President, in 1954.
(Related fact: the top marginal tax rate when he was President was over 90%.)
