Harry Truman actually said...

"Adequate taxes are necessary to preserve confidence in the integrity of the Government's finances, to distribute the heavy defense costs fairly among our people, and to restrain inflationary pressures..."

"That's a question I can't answer. We will have to wait for results to find out whether that is true or not."

"I don't know anything about the proposition, therefore I can't comment on it."

"That is not a rejection."
