Ike’s message was clear: “The good American doesn’t ask for favored position or treatment…Every real American is proud to carry his share of the burden…I simply don’t believe for one second that anyone privileged to live in this country wants someone else to pay his own fair share of the cost of his Government.”
In this election year, he said, “Some think it is good politics to promise more and more Government spending, and at the same time, more and more tax cuts for all.” But that would “pass on still larger debts to our children.”
