John Kennedy actually said...

"Okay. So you think if you're really wealthy, you should have to pay a tax on your unrealized gain?"

"I think people can spend a dollar better, all things being equal, and all you have to do if you know the history of government, you know that I'm right."

"Why is that?"

"But at least two of you believe that government, all things being equal, can spend a dollar better than people can."
