Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Let us unanimously recognize the fact that the Federal debt... can only be paid if the Nation obtains a vastly increased citizen income."

"I am determined to do all in my power to help you attain that security."

"Equal taxation of incomes of similar size and equal taxation of corporations and individual taxpayers are axiomatic."

"There is no fairness in taxing the salaried man and the merchant upon their incomes and taxing at far lower rates the profits on the capital of the speculator."
