Ronald Reagan on Taxes
We’re going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying ten percent of his salary, and that’s crazy. [...] Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the bus driver or less?

"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life..."
"...Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride,
all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in
the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering
that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of
thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is
no reason not to follow your heart." -Steven Paul Jobs Sent from my iPad
