"This country last knew itself, had a sense or purpose and direction when it was going to the moon, when it was committed to the public education of its children and their physical health, was at war with true totalitarianism, when marginal tax rates on the income of the well to do were north of 90% and the President could stir the public with, 'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'”  The Mad Tea Party; A Looking Glass View of Economic Reality in Over the Edge by James T. Bruce.   This thoughtful piece can read in its entirety by clicking here.
