Written in 1985:"If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. "

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices -- €” 545 human beings out of the 235 million -- are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. -- Daphne brings the news from Charley Reese « Jaded Haven
