And above all, above all, honest work must be rewarded by a fair and just tax system. The tax system today does not reward hard work: it penalizes it.

But wages on the assembly line or in farming the land, these hard-earned dollars are taxed to the very last penny.

I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.
