1. Is it this one?

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

4. I didn't find the one you wanted, but offer this instead:

"Every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a single man. His character determines the character of the organization."

7. Low income screwed, higher income OK. Read the entire article

Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 01:32 PM by SharonAnn

Single parent, income of $20,000, LOSES $1,063 in refund.

Single parent, income of $32,000, GAINS with $723 tax cut.

Married parents, 2 kids, income $50,000, loses with $1,050 tax increase.

Other gainers - Taxpayers whose income comes largely from investments, since the capital gains rate would drop significantly and dividends would be tax free.

So the working poor with children, the working lower middle class are losers.

The non-working, inherited wealth people are winners.

Who would've guessed?

Whoops - posted to worng thread. Sorry, see -
