Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I don't want to be put in a position of having to say that Community A is sufficiently solvent to increase its taxes."

"When one-third of the nation hasn't got any buying power, it ought to be to the interest of every business man to try to help that one-third of the country to get buying power."

"It seems to me that that is pretty tough, not only on the President, but on the communities of the United States."

"This whole thing can be done, as far as we can see at the present time, with a tax standard."
