"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." -Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Brilliance shines forth from history.
Thanks! And it is also rather interesting to confirm the "liberal" view of Churchill, which is much the same as liberals view conservatives today in general.
The great English classical liberal John Morley, after working with Churchill, passed a succinct appraisal of him, "Winston," he said, "has no principles."
