What do we believe in our day? That the prosperity of the rich is the measurement of a good economy? I do not find it false to aspire to be a nation where there will be no poor among us. I do not suppose at this very moment to know how to arrive there, but I know it is an honorable aspiration.
In contrast, where is the honor in filling the homes of the rich with lucre? If they should make their riches, let them. I do not know that we should tax them till they leave. I only say that when our goal is to make the rich rich, that goal might deserve some second thoughts.
