Moderate Groups

Famous quotes containing the words moderate and/or groups:

“Is this not true—That in proportion to the value of their estates the extremely wealthy pay far less taxes than those of moderate means? Compare the amount paid by millionaires with the amount paid by ordinary citizens. I believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
