If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose- because it contains all the others–the fact that they were the people who created the phrase ‘to make money.’ No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity- to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted, or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words ‘to make money’ hold the essence of human morality. Ayn Rand

Opponents of repeal [of the Death Tax
Opponents of repeal [of the Death Tax] today should be as honest as the sponsors of the tax were in 1916, when the preamble to the bill creating it declared that the aim was ‘to break up the swollen fortunes of the rich.’ Of course, such rhetoric today would seem quaint, faintly risible, and even President Clinton would not risk using it.Today it’s more clear ‘swollen fortunes’ really enrich the entire country. Accumulations of capital provide the investments that create wealth for all, so we should abolish the inheritance tax. Thomas G. Dolan
